improving the faculty

Since my first year in the Faculty, the improvements have been in the line of the technology, for example, in 2006, we only have one computer room, this place was very little for all the faculty, and too many computers was always in bad condition to work. Now, we have two computers room’s whit new computers to much fasters than the old computers. Others technology subjects, like four new microwaves for the casino, are very good improvements for all the students and functionaries. But I think there are topics like the inexistent spaces for distraction, which can be our faculty a nice place for study or just wait the next class. For example, we only have one kind of sofa for the students in the entire faculty! and the others options for take a break and have a nice conversation are the stairs, the floor, the casino tables or the very smalls and uncomfortable benches on the hallways. So I believe that is a real necessity, have more spaces inside the faculty for just sit down a moment, or wait for someone, because the rhythms in the university, sometimes can be very stressing and exhausting , and have a nice place could be very useful for the mental health of all the community! To do this improvement, I use the space under the principal stair for put some kind of big sofa and in the principal exits, put a few comfortable benches for can go out to smoke a cigarette, because today, the only options to take a cigarette break was the floor or just standing up.

The practice

I like to talk about my plans referent to the practice. One of my priorities is do the practice out of Santiago, maybe, out of Chile, for two important reasons, first, I want travel after finish the university, I don’t want work immediately after finish the university, for that, do the practice in other place, was perfect for my life plan, I can get my diploma and enjoy the life in a different place at the same time!, is a great idea. Other important reason was the possibility of live alone, I mean, without my parents. For do that here, in Santiago, I was to get the money for the rent and life in generally, and most difficult part, have a really heavy conversation about leave the “home”, in consideration that I’m the only child. For that, do the practice in other place, maybe in a city where I got family or can get a really cheap place to live for a while, can give me the time to probed the independent life, before to take the option of leave definitely my home.
The only thing about the practice that I’m sure is that I don’t want work in a typical office, like in selection of personal or something like that. I think is more interesting work in a social organization, or in a interesting investigation project about different cultures for examples, because the anthropology is something really interesting for a project in a really different place, a interdisciplinary type of investigation.

My Music

A like to talk about my favorite type of music, because, I believe that I have very different rhythms, groups or songs, for the different days, emotions, situations, etc, of my life. For example, when I was younger, in the school, for a long time, I only like the reggae music because my group of friends was very “rasta style”, now I hear a lot of different music, but this kind of music still been one of my favorite. Whit the years, I discover others music styles, like the bossanova, similar to reggae music, but whit others instruments, lyrics and language, people like Joao Gilberto, Bebel, Djavan and Marissa Monte, are some of my favorites bossanova musicians. In other circumstances, like a good party or hippies situations, I like very much the “cueca”, I like dance this kind of music whit some wine in the body, also, some of my friends plays very good this music, for that, I like the style party whit cueca. Other type of music that I hear a lot, was Spanish rock, but a light kind of rock more near to old pop, like Soda Estero, Fito Paez, Gustavo Ceratti or many songs in particular, like the classics “girl`s songs” whit musicians like Javiera Parra, Madonna, Regina Spector and many more.

transantiago

My opinion about Transantiago is not very good in general, I think that the main idea of this new system is actually very good, because make the bus transportation and the metro train working together in a big system, is the best for city like Santiago, and pay less for take more combination, is a very good idea too. The only problem of this idea was the very bad calculation about the real capacity of the buses and the metro for the huge numbers of people. For that reason, in the beginning the city was collapsed because the metro can resist all the new people using the metro for combination whit the buses. Other operative problem was the confusion about the travel around the city of the different buses; also, the number of buses was dramatically down for make a change in the contamination of the city. Other problem was the GPS system, that never workout.
Now the people in general, is more “friendly” whit the system, are more buses in the street, and the metro make a lot of changes for make easier and less collapsed our travels. But I still think that this new system is the worst for the quality life, because the people are very tired whit the awful travels. I think the bicycle is the best choice, a city more friendly whit the bicyclists will be a very good idea I think.

a different life style

Chose only one country is very hard for me, because I like to visit so many places, but if I had to chose, I like to go to Paris, know Europe in general, but France is a place where I like to live for a while. The life style in that country calls my attention since I was little, because my aunt lives there for a couple of years and she always talk to me about the great life in that beautiful city. Also, I always like the idea of live in Europe, knows others ways of life and choose my favorite. I like the idea of travel throw Europe, maybe whit my future French boyfriend, another reason to go to Paris soon, that’s really my favorite plan, knows almost all Europe, because countries like Italy and all their old cities, are places that I have to know. But the main reason, like I said before, is the way of life, I not so sure if is so different, but I enjoy the only the idea of living in a city like Paris or Milan. I like works in different things, not only in my profession, like I say before, I like to try different styles of life, in different places, doing different things.

my last semester

During the first semester of this year, I had my first real curse of humanist psychology; I was very exiting, because this part of the psychology was the most interesting theory line for me and in my four years in the university, we never studied deeply this line. Also had a very good curse of systemic therapy for fathers and couples, and this line is now one of my favorite ways to do a therapy. In my free time, I practice a lot of Bikram yoga, this type of yoga is very different and special, in fact, people call “hot yoga” because we do the postures in a room whit 42 grades of hot!, is a very intense activity, also work in the reception of the yoga studio for pay my yoga lessons. Was very difficult had time for all the activities, yoga, work, university and friends, in fact, sometimes the time just don’t was enough for all the things. The situation in my house was estranging for different problems during the last semester, but now the things go great! , actually, the relationship whit my parents are very good, in fact, is very nice live whit my family right now, I like stays in home and do things whit theme.

The first page is a “Encyclopedia of Psychology” on line, in this page you can find many different text about a lots of topics related to the discipline like paradigms and theories, history of psychology, etc., also in this page you can translate the texts to different languages. A second page is a psychology portal, when you can find texts of classical authors, different disciplines of psychology or the most important theories of the discipline, use this page is very simple and useful for find information of different topics important for the university subjects. A last page is a search engine of academic documents of different disciplines like psychology, science, medicine, arts, etc., this page is very useful for the university works, because the information of the articles published in this page is legal and recognise for different academics institutions.
