My academic year

Hello, today I am going to talk about my academic year, I think that it was excellent. In general, my academic year was so good about all senses, overcoat the second term of this year. With regard to my subjects, I am satisfied. At the end, regarding to my partners, I think that this years was excellent because we are more united with my friends and, in general, I’ve have good relationship with whole the people that I know. Maybe, one bad thing about this academic year it’s that I had few time to share with those people that I love, and that I couldn’t because the university take me away a lot of time.

Generally, my academic year was very good. I passed my subjects with very good marks, perhaps I felt a bit of stress but nothing out of the normal mood at the end of each term. Especially, the first term was marked by problems with my older sister. We live together, here in Santiago. We are very close, but this year she was too busy with her projects and with her boyfriend, so we couldn’t share so much as I would have wanted.

Regarding to my friends and classmates this year we can to be closer than last year. I don’t know how to say it but maybe our friendship is more mature and we have more confidence between us than last year. In addition, I passed the great majority of my free time with them, resting in universities’ gardens, drinking something and from time of time having fun in a party.

I am very happy with this academic year. I would like that following year will be equal or even better. Next year I will be in my third academic year, my penultimate academic year, ‘cause fifth year of my career consist in a professional practice and make the final thesis, and after of that obtain my title. Saying it this way it sounds as if that the final of my career is very closer. I hope pass all my subjects, so not to be late with my classmates. I hope to continue progressing in my career and still having fun, at the same I’ve been until now

IMPROVING YOUR FACULTY FACILITIES

Today I’m going to talk about my faculty and it quality and it defect. In my opinion I thing that my faculty is very nice with it hippie style. I love it since the first time that I saw. Besides my faculty has good ilimination and always is clean. Maybe we have some problems in the classroom and bathroom.

Classroom are very noisy I think because are very smalls considering the number of students by course. Obviusly you can think that noise is fault of students, and you are right but even you can hear whispers. Other problems about classrooms is heat in summer, classrooms seems ovens.

With regard to bathrooms usually are smelly, bathrooms need urgently a best ventilation system.

Sometimes we need a quiet place to study and the place that should fullfil this function, the library, always is very noisy. This happens ‘cause we haven`t study`s rooms to make or discuss about research or discuss about class’s topics.

Authorities suggest that lounge room could be the studyroom, but this it`s not a real solution. In fact, whole people uses this place for study ‘cause there`s not another place. Also related with lounge room, there are not enough tables and chairs for all the people. Ussualy we have to wait a momento for a place toe at.

That problems are not really grave, actually this faculty still working in spite of the problems that I’ve said. But always it can be better, so I think that this problems must be solve.

Friends

Today I'm going to talk about the friendship. I think that everyone should have friends. A good friend can be a great listener when you have problems or when you only want to talk about the life. With a good friend you can share experiences and ideas about a topic. A good friend help you when you are in troubles. But, friendship must be reciprocal if you want to keep yours friends along the time.

Mano is my best friend. We met in the high school six year ago. He is tall and thin and he has a dark skin. I only can see him when I travel to Talca 'cause he lives there. Usually we join us to talk about ours lifes and go to some restorant to eat or drink something. I would like go to dischos with him but his girlfriend isn't 18 years-old, and obviusly we are not going to parties alone. He want to study psichology, like me. I really want that he can enter to the university and become a great professional.

In my opinion I am not good for make friends easily, but this it's not 'cause I don't be friendly or simphatic, but 'cause I think that friend is a word only for some special persons. Call someone friend, real friend, it`s not easy. I need to meet deeply a person to consider him my friend. Although I use the word often to refer to the people that is simphatic and nice.

I`m still in touch with my childhood friends, especially with Jesus y Javiera. I met them when I was around 5 years-old and we still being friend. I love so much those girls.

At the univesity I made very good friends too and the people says that friends made at the university will be friend forever, I hope that be truth =)

"Cannibal killer murdered again after mental care failures"

Psyquiatric patient murdered again by fault of the psyquiatric institution where he was. Peter Bryan was confined after that he murdered her first victim, Nicha Sheth. Bryan murdered him and dismembered his body, for soon eat his brain. "I ate his brains with butter. It was really nice", he said in the interrogation.
This patient obviusly has a mental disorder, but in the hostel the doctors thought that after eight years of treatment Bryan was in condition for leave the hostel and be reintegrated to the community under supervision. This decision was influenced by the good behavoir of Bryan, described by doctors like amiable.

The problem was the new hostel that accepted him. They never before been responsible for killers, and their social workers have not experience in metal disorders. Bryan muerder two victims in two months. One of them, Brian Cherry, was a fellow inmate, the other one was a 82 years old man. The first one was butchered and the last one was strangled.

That new make us discussing about that was is sane or insane in the behavoir of the mental patient.

Pets

At present, I don't have pets, but I would like have one. My favourite pet are dogs. I love their silly and cute face, and the movement of the tail when they are happie, or their sad face when they want caress or they are hungry.

I grew up with dogs, since I have memory. The first one was a mixture of a Big Danish with another one breed. His name was Toby. Actually I can't remember much about Toby 'cause he die when I was 4 years old. When he die, my father bought an German shepherd. That dog was amazing, I really loved that dog. Her name was Daisy, she was so smart and cute, and always it`s seems like she was smiling. I turn so sad when she die 'cause I had played, laugh and done a lot of thing with Daisy. She die when I was 14 years old, so, I live ten years with her. Before that she would turn sick and bad we bought another German shephard to keep her company, her name is Cristal, a very shy and calm dog, she is a bit silly but I love her with her qualities and faults. After Daisy's death Cristal was alone for two years until we bought the last one pet that I`ve had, she is Pascua. Pascua is a so crazy dog, she loved to play and jump for all the garden.
When my parents bought another place to live, we had to give them to another persons.

I think that all the people should have a pet, overcoat the children 'cause they learn resposabilities and how to care of another one.

I`m a pet lover =)

Transatiago

Actually, I`ve never knew the other kind of transport, I mean the "yellow buses". I went to live to Santiago two years ago and in that time Transatiago already was in operation but I will compare with the public transport in my city, Talca.
In Talca the buses are so smallest, and very very older. Usually the buses are decorated with a lot of knickknacks, you know, stickers from everything that you can imagine, rosaries and funny lights that turn on when the bus turn to the left or when the bus stop. Also, it`s no rare that the bus stink with many different smells. Sometimes bus smells like an older house, or like a public bath, or a typical smell of a bus. It`s seems that the buses in my city are the worse in the country but the buses have some qualities. For example, the seats are more comfortable than the seats in transantiago. Usually, the seats have quilted and sit down on it is pleasant.
I`m happy with Transantiago, I have no problem to arrive to my home. Maybe it was ‘cause I`m live in Providencia Street. I guess that the big problem it`s the population, it`s so many people for only one city. I think that to make more metro station could turn better this problem.

A country I would like to visit

Today I should tell you about a country I would like to visit. I would like to visit Brazil. I had been there once, like two years ago. I was in Buzios and other little towns near to Buzios.
I would like to visit Brazil again 'cause I want to watch the carnival and visit more places, have fun with friends and taste the typical flavors of Brazil. When I was there two year ago I couldn`t do that, actually, 'cause I traveled with my parents so I only visit turistic places for the family and not the places for get some fun.
I am not sure if I want to study in Brazil 'cause I have no information about how is the education there. However, I like to live there meanwhile I am young, Brazil is so dangerous so I don`t know if I would want to expose my sons to a country like this.

Another places that I would like to visit is USA, particulary California state, I have a friend that lives there I would like so much visit her 'cause I haven't seen her since two years ago.

First Term. Good and bad points

Today I`m going to talk about my experience in the last term.

To me it was a great term. About the courses, I passed all of them with excellent marks. At the begining I thought that the term would be so easy 'cause the term before that was so hard, I had so much for read and a lot of work for do, and the last one seems to be easier 'cause we had few text for read and few test. But at the end I was stressed 'cause all test was in the same month, it was horrible.
I enjoyed a lot courses like Neurophysiology or Psychopatology, but I felt that in courses like Development 1, I didn`t learn the necesary.
In my free time I did no much, ussualy I had a lot for read then I have no much freetime. But always on fridays, I stoped to study for have a few of fun with my friends, go to dance, or drink something with them.
Regarding to my family the relationship was fine, except with my older sister because she was very busy, then I saw her only few times.

my blogging experience

Hello, today I'm gonna talk about my blogging experience.

I think that blog is a very good tool to practice the writen english and learn the correct way to say some english´s expressions. Think in some topic make that you search for new vocabulary and learn about it.
I enjoyed writing my blog 'cause the topic are so funniest and that made the work easier.
Maybe, the one bad thing that I can say about the blog would be that the hour that we used making blog we could use it to talk in english, also about a topic, maybe with us or with an english speaker, and make the blog in the house. Or maybe use the blog hour to practice pronunciation.

Well, that was my opinion about blogging experience =)

My ideal Job

Hello, today I'm going to talk about my ideal job.

I have two ideal jobs, work in investigation, on the one hand, and to manage a little and warm restaurant, on the other.

The first, working in investigation, is the dream for which I'm fighting now. I`m studing very hard and trying to improve my own skills and qualities. I think that to work in investigation I need skills such as order, tenacity, responsability and a lot of knowledge.
I think that I would be good in this job 'cause I love it, and when I finish an investigation I feel that I've learnt so much and that stimulates me to continue.
Really I think that a job like this is too hard to find, 'cause you need sponsors or win some project so it isn`t a good way to earn money, and requires a lot of time and dedication.
I think that if I achieve to get a job like this I`ll have to combine it with another job like clinical psychologist or something like that.


My other dream, have a small and warm restaurant, is the job that I want to my older age. A little place, very nice, sophisticated and decorated with good taste. For now this is a far far away dream but it's nice to think about it.

My favorite subject

Hello, today I`m gonna talk about my favorite subject, Neurophysiology.

This subject is given by Jorge Fernandez and Marcial Beltrami, nevertheless Fernandez has been very sick and he hadn`t been able to give the class, but he has assistants who replace him.

I like this subject 'cause I love biology, it`s so funny for me and I have no problems to understand the topics and the paradigms. In this subject we study nerv cells, its physiology and its functions.
I think that it`s easier for me 'cause I took PSU in sciencie to enter at university, so I have the bases of the chemestry and biology.

I have other favorite subject, psychopathology. This subject is given by Luis Rossi and Luis Alvarado. I like this subject 'cause it`s so closer with our future work, it`s like that subject that make me feel a real psychologist. In this subject we study about mental diseases and their characteristics.

creativity

Today I´m going to talk about Mr. Robinson and his talk about the creativity in the schools.
In few words he says that school teach to children just to do math´s operations, to memorize contents and thing like this, in other words our kids only learn to repeat and repeat knowledge. So, what about the creativity, the new ideas, the possibility of express doubts? Mr. Robinson says that the school ignore the creativity and the expression of the mind processes in children.

Actually, he isn´t saying nothing new. The emphasis in stimulate the creativity in children is a topic in Educational Psychology since a long time. Save contents in our minds without other aplication that repeat and repeat like machines, have no sense and it is a lose of time and money. The child has to learn to internalize the reasoning what he is memorizing. Later, he can be able to use his knowledge and to create new knowledge. That is the object of the education.

In five years I will go to visit my older sister to her home and I will see my younger sister in her third year in the university. I hope that my parents will be ok with health and happinnes living the life and enjoying the flavors of the world and the pleasures of stop of pay the university of his children.

Really I prefeer live the day first of think in the future =)

The best in my area

One of the most important psychologist is Wundt, called the "father of scientific psychology".
Wilhelm Wundt was born on august 16th, 1832 at Neckarau, Baden. Wundt founded one of the first formal laboratories for psychological research. This was a precedent for psychology like science.
Wundt thought that mental processes are an extension of physiological processes. But we cannot fall in a mistaken though saying that Wundt`s investigation only are refer on individual ´cuz he wrote around 20 volumes of "Psychology of communityes".

I like Wundt ´cuz he is the father of the psychology like science and all the later development of this area. Why psychology must be science it`s an eternal discussion, but personally I think that mind born of biology, so we can understand it from a biological paradigm. Obviously, in this moment we haven`t the tools for understand the mind from biology, but I trust that in a closer future this can be possible.

Comment on a photograph you like

Hello, today I going to talk about the first prize photograph in World Press Photo Awards. You can find this photo in this link:
http://www.worldpressphoto.org/index.php?option=com_photogallery&task=view&id=1471&Itemid=223&bandwidth=high

This amazing photo is about Chaiten volcano. This volcano erupted last year and it ash covered like 200 kms away and Chaiten city was left destroyed by earthquakes product by eruption.
Chaiten´s residents were evacuated by Government, but this was complicated because of people didn´t want to leave his homes and his lifes.

The photo looks like the end of the world. The thunders mixed with the clouds are so beautiful and unbelievable. If you see with atention at the left the light is white and at the right the light is red this seems like a fight between angels and demons. And in the middle the fight of both forces.

My Most Precious Possession

Hello =) Today I gonna talk about my most precious possession.
My most precious possession the lenguage. Can you think a world without lenguage? I guess no. I`m not thinking only in oral lenguage, I`m thinking in the capacity to learn and use lenguage.
The book "Para que no me olvides" by Marcela Serrano it`s about this topic. The main character is a woman around 40 years old with some kind of aphasia, a lenguage illness characterized, in this case, by hasn`t the posibility of make or read a sentence but she can understand the other persons.
When I read the book I thought in the great importance of the language for the first time. I couldn`t imagine my world without the posibility of saying to my family and friends that I love them, or saying to somebody that I`m angry, or looking at a book and not understanding the words, just seeing signs without meaning. It would be horrible!!!
So I will go to talk with all the people and read anything that fall in my hands =)

The last summer my family hasn`t plans to go away on vacation. In fact, my sister and I were working for get some money and travel with our friends. But one day an aunt came to my house and began to tell us about her vacation. She said that the palce was amazing, a fantastic view of the coast, very calm, a warm house and things like that. It seem that her words convinced my mom, but not totally. Then she says, my mom, to my father and me go to know the place and later tell what do you think.

The place it`s a little village next to Peyuhue in the coast of Seventh Region. The village`s name it`s Curanipe. It`s so small, but nice and in summer it`s full of people. Curanipe it`s a vacation place for older people `cuz it`s calmer than Peyuhue. Peyuhue it`s bigger and has dischoteques and pubs, then it`s comun find young people.
We travel in febrary with my two doughter, my father, my granny, my mom and a cousin. My father only can stay for 2 days `cuz he has work and at the middle of the week arrived Rodrigo my sister`s boyfriend.

We didn`t do amazing thing, it was more like relaxing, resting, talking and play cardgames and cacho.

The place it`s was amazing like said my aunt, It`s has a big beach, so big, and there was so few people then we has like 2 beautyful kms of beach only for us. The cottage it`s very nice and warm, with three rooms, a bath and a living-comedor.


This vacation will`be unforgetables `cuz I love to be with my family and have a good time with them =)

My best friend =)

Today I`ll talk about my best friend, Mano. We met in the secundary school six years ago. We was classmates and at the begining we didn`t talk often. At the end of the first year we belong to the same group of friends with other four o five guys. In that group we became closer. Later the group was dissolved ´cuz many reason, but we still being friends, even closer than before until now.

When we are togheter no-body understand what we are doing or saying, we only says a lot of things and laugh a lot. He lives in Talca and I in Santiago, then we only can join us when I travel to my home. In our gathering we prefeer go to some restaurant or go to buy some to eat in my home, meanwhile we eating we talk about all of the topics that you can think, since how to put right the thing in the world until the problems of each one.

I admire him, he`s a really great man. He`s one of the little group of person that I know, that even in this time still being a nobleman. He has a sence about the right and the bad thing that I would want that the 1% of the people has to made this world better.

The things that I dislike about him is not much, except ´cuz he`s a bit ungrateful and usually I have to be the one that call the other.

The grates aventure that we have togheter was once that we was in an expedition in the mountais and we had drink a lot of coffe and was the moment to descend the mountain and we descend running!!!, yeah running, and the path was very narrow. I don`t know how we haven`t an accident.

If I could give him a really big present, I will give him all the money that he need for study.

abril 15, 2009

Hello, my name is Felipe Concha Aqueveque. I`m nineteen years old. I`m an student of psychology at Universidad de Chile. It`s my second year in this career and I love it. Universidad de Chile it`s in Santiago but I`m not from Santiago, I`m from Talca.
Talca is a city located 300 km to the south of Santiago. Talca it`s the Seventh Region`s capital. It`s not a big city but it`s nice to live. In the day you can do not much, but in the night Talca has a lot of restaurants, pubs and dicotheques. Talca it`s famous for the hot dogs, some people says that the hot dogs in Talca are the best. Another thing that is very good in Talca is Teatro Regional, one of the best in the country, but usually it`s use for musician and not much for actors.
In Santiago I live in Providencia Street with my older sister, Loreto (23). I love her, we are so closes and almost we don`t quarrel. In the apartment we have divided in equal parts the houseworks.
I love to live in Santiago ´cuz I feel myself so independent, I manage my money, I decide what, when and how eat or do, I have my own schedule and I`m happy.
I travel to Talca to visit my parents every two weeks, but they want that I travel more often.
