Changes to my study programme

    Hi! Today I will talk about changes that I would do about my study programme. Well, first I want to say that I'm study Psychology and I will talk about this university career.

    As students we have all criticized the university and subjects that be in the curriculum of every career, this because exist subjects that don't seem be relevant for formation like professional, for some students. But many times the discussion is not done and exist only critics.

    Personally, I don't think about especific changes nor options, but I can to talk a little about it. I feel and think that a problem of de university or career is the hegemony of man to the moment to read authors, almost we don't read women authors. This should be solved; that be present a feminist perspective
at the time to choose the contents. It's really really important, and this showed for the feminist protests.

    

    Too should be considered that during the career of pre-grado exist there are very few practical opportunities, because almost all is theorist. The opportunity for take practic subject are in 6º, 7º and 8º semester... and it don't work, why? Because the subjects have limited places, and that means that a lot students can't take this subjects. If you can't take a subject that you wanted is sad, and demotivating. An option is add more practical subjects, or create more sections.

    Well, I think those are the precise points that I have, for now. Bye bye!
                                    

English language challenges

    Hi!, I will talk about my expecience in enslish class. Well, I can to say that english is difficult to the momento of talk and listen, because I'm not accustomed to have a conversation in english. For example, when someone speaks fast I can't listen good nor separate words, so if I read is easier, or when I have the text with the voice I can take my time for understand and searching for words that I can’t understand (if without that word it is not undertood). To me is hard talk, or take a quietly conversation, because my pronunciation it is a little bad, so I need to think very carefully before I say something.

    Sometimes is hard for me to understand verbal time because, before, my teacher always teaches me like separate things and never like in real life, so when I try to use them I feel insecure or I just don't say anything. The insecurity is a impediment.

    But even so I enjoy the lessons, my reading it’s fluent and I learned words and other things that I didn’t know before. Despite the difficulties I like to learn english, because the english is a good tool to keep updating the information, because it is the mundial language and is very useful to social psicology and theories, to actualize this and information of the world.

    I think that I understand more the american english, it's more easier for me because ussualy I'm watching Tv series on american english, like The Gilmore Girls, Blindspot or The Umbrella Academy. So I practice the listening watching.

Personal opinions

Hi! Today I have to talk about personal opinions... but it's hard for me think what say about this theme. ¿Why? Because I don't think a definition or a reflection about the moment of opine daily, but when I see opinions I think about it, por example, I can think and feel if the opinion match with me or no, and not judge.

I believe that I know respect personal opinions, an opinion like should it be, obviusly,  and no like offense or violence. ¿How could respect or tolerate a comment of hate? Is so important not think the racism, machismo or xenophobia like an opinion, because it's not... this things are violent and disrespectful, and it's something that the society should change.
I know that everyone think different, and are is innumerable of minds that exist, diferent ways for see the things, the beliefs, for example. It's a big universe, with a world in every mind, becasuse everyone are differet, this because everyone comes with particular experiencie, varied places, context and families unique.

About relation of opinions and my emotions, really since a lot time that I feel that people don't do not think negatively about me, or only I don't considered. I feel that my personal circle is beautifull, they love me and support me. They make me feel good and dear. But obviously that in other moments it maked me felt insecure about me and my body.

                                        

 

Themed post: Gilmore Girls

     

Hi! I will talk about a serie of tv, and that be in Netflix, "Gilmore Girls".

Well, I wanna talk about this serie because during a lot time I saw it, for mounths every day after university, one or more episode. It's a lot times the Gilmore Girls maked me feel better, with more energy and happy.

 

                  

Gilmore Girls is a serie about an young mother, Lorelai, and her daughter of 16 years old, Rory. And the relation between the two are like good friends, and it's funny because sometimes the Rory is like a mother with Lorelai.

The serie have 7 seasons where we see to Lorelai, Rory and differents characters with the pass of time. In the season 1 Rory have 16 years old and she is in the school, and in seaeon 7 she is in university. In all this time we can see relationships of friendships, love relation, the family life and the life in a little town where everyone knows, and at the same time everyone love to Lorelai and Rory.

After of this 7 seasons, there are a miniserie called "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" that have 4 longer episodies where we see the life of characters after years, and every episodie is abour a season of year.

           

Really I love this serie, and now I'm seeing it again, but with my boyfriend now, for netflix party, and we like a lot the serie and the characters.

                              

                        

Post graduate studies

Hi! In this post I will talk about "post graduate studies".

To start, I would like to said that I'm studying psychology in the University of Chile, and I'm in 3th año, exactly in 7th semester. The next year, after get the license, I will have to choose a certification course, and I will choose a course of completion cycle, and really I have thought in take two course, one about investigation in social psychology (I don't know yet if qualitative investigation or quantitative) and other about interventions in and with comunnity.

For now I've only thought about that, no more. But thinking what I would like, I believe that after graduate, to me would like study more about investigation and social pychologist, because it's the thing that I like and I want to do. I would love investigate, know new things and talk about social phenomena and social situation, too read and know new information, and work with people, group, organitation, and comunnity. I don't know where nor what specifically, everything will depend about what i can to do, because after of Psychology I will haven't scholarship, and I would have work for buy the post-graduate studies, and it's difficult because is very expensive.

I would like to keep studying because I believe that it would be good for me development,  for my interests, and with the idea to do something good.
