Changes that could be made to my study programme

Changes that could be made to my study programme

Hello everyone, today I will talk about the changes I could make in my studies program.

I am currently studying chemistry and pharmacy at the University of Chile, the formal length of the degree is 5 and a half years, but we all know that we actually took more than 5 and a half years.

Within the program of studies I have to take various scientific fields, such as biology, physics, mathematics, and of course a lot of chemistry, as well as introductory branches of the career. Then come the most specialized branches of pharmacology and it becomes more complex as the years progress.

We also have to take general training courses (CFG). I find that these courses are good because they are out of the routine, they can be sporting, cultural, among other topics. For example, I have taken volleyball and a course to be integral tutors (TIP), which is a program of the university to help the freshmen to pass their classes. The problem is that the courses are entertaining in other faculties and are far away, if I could improve something in this faculty is the largest variety of CFG and flexible hours. 

I find that the career demands a lot of time and academic load, we have a very structured program, if we do not follow it the duration of the career is prolonged, we have very heavy and difficult courses together and many must take the decision to take fewer courses or simply fail them. I would change the structure of the program with semesters with a little less load, to really enjoy the stay in the university and without so much pressure, there is nothing better than having the time necessary to study and enjoy university life. After all we are here because we like what we study. 

As for the infrastructure, we need a casino where to have lunch, it is very uncomfortable not to have it, and because of the technology, it is good, we have air conditioning, equipped laboratories and that is enough.

Finally, because of the teaching methods, I would like them to improve the English program, it could be more interactive in order to expand the vocabulary and improve the pronunciation, I think that English is important and that it is concordant with the students' time, since We have a lot of academic load.

Personal Opinion

Personal Opinion.

Hello everyone, today i will talk about my personal opinion of four topics. These are: "Tattoos"; "legalizing marijuana"; Chilean tradition called "mechoneo"and "legalized abortion in some cases".

I will start with the tattoos:

-Tattoos:

I thinks that is personal choice get a tattoo. I would like to get a tattoo. But it's really important choose a good place and that meets sanitary requirements. Because it can be very dangerous. The implements must be sterilized. Also you must think very well since it's something that will accompany you for life and have enough money since a nice tattoo is expensive.

-Legalizing marijuana:

I think the consumption of marijuana is very personal. I think it's not bad. Because its consumption should not be in excess. Many studies say that the consumption of marijuana should be after 21 years old. Because say that increases the risk of psychosis by 40% and after that age you have completely developed the brain. So I agree with the legalized marijuana but also to include education on this. And with respect to medicinal use is very much in accordance with its legalization.

-Chilean tradition called "mechoneo":

At this moment it is a complicated topic because it is cataloged like bullying. But in my university and in my career which is Chemistry and Pharmacy in 2017, I was "mechoneada" by my own will. It was fun but everything was with respect and volunteer and the final reward was a party. I think that it's a healthy activity but without exceeding.

-Legalized abortion in some cases:

I thinks that is a very delicate topic because depends on the situation in which the mother is. I agree with the legalized abortion in all cases, but is the decision of each one. Anyone can not force anyone to carry such responsibility without sex education that we should have in the school or in the family. 

My Favorite Food

My Favorite Food.

Hello everyone, today I will talk about my favorite food. The food is a must in my life.

The food that I like the most is my mom's lasagna. I say of my mom because I have not tried a better one. In general I like the salty food. I like it a lot because its texture with the white sauce and tomato sauce is delicious. The problem in that cooking it is a lot of work and my mom does it only when mi brothers come to visit us and I've tried it in a restaurant but it's not the same home love is missing. 

The last time I tried it was October of this year when my sister came to Santiago. I helped my mom to cook especially the preparation of the white source. I could cook a lasagna but it would not be the same. I don't think I cook so well. 

For the sweet part I love raspberries too much in their variety of desserts, they are good with everything. I prefer cook desserts that others food in general.  I like much more to prepare sweet dishes than salty. My favorite desserts is raspberry cheesecake. My mom used to make many desserts, but she got bored and now I just have to do them myself. I prefer to buy one prepared than to do out myself.

I would like to learn to cook better and be able to vary with new dishes.

A post-graduate course I might do.

A post-graduate course I might do.

Hello everyone, today I will talk about a possible post-graduate I can do in the future. I wanted to study biochemistry, I liked the area very much, but I wasn't sure. Anyway, I like some areas of study of biochemistry, and in this faculty, you can do postgraduate courses according to areas.

I would like to make a master's degree in clinical biochemistry, I feel that chemistry and pharmacy and clinical biochemistry are very related, since the objective is to provide information for the prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases and from these obtain a pharmacological treatment. These two areas together can allow me to work and research better about clinical pharmacology, which is something I consider a challenge.

I would like to do a postgraduate degree at the University of Chile, but it would also be good to have the opportunity to do a semester abroad, with a scholarship at a university with an agreement, as for example in Spain or Germany.

In general, the postgraduate programs have a more flexible schedule and courses, in case of being working together with the magister, I would like to have presencial and online classes

With this postgraduate I could feel satisfied and after this I would like to dedicate my work to the help of the community.

My Future Job

Possible future work.

Hello everyone, I will tell you about my future job (for the time being) as it may change, I still have a lot to learn and I may change my mind. At the moment the work of my future is about my future profession, which is chemistry and pharmacy.

There are so many areas that it's difficult for me to choose only one, so I will talk about what I would like to do. 

The areas that I like are the hospital pharmacy, forensic, research but I love it and I'm very attracted to the clinical pharmacy. I am not studying any specialty at this time but in the future I would like to study the specialty of clinical pharmacy. I find it a very challenging area, difficult, since you must study a lot during your whole life. I would have to work in closed places inside hospitals or clinics, in laboratories, even with patients, especially patients in extreme gravity who need pharmaceutical advice. 

This work would also allow me to travel abroad, through new studies, analyzes or science congresses and that seems fabulous to me, he has always wanted to travel abroad to study some postgraduate. The salary is something of second importance but I imagine that it would gain well to live comfortably

To study this work I imagine that I would need a lot of time, patience and perseverance, since it's a very difficult area that changes and evolves over time, every day there are more complex illnesses, new treatments to apply and it's a challenge for me. I would love to be able to analyze cases, discover new treatments for new diseases, and I'm interested in the case of children, where they have complex diseases recognized as adults, and there are no corresponding doses for them or correct techniques to administer the treatments, so it could help improve people and save lives.

Things I Hate and like about University, career.

Things I Hate and like about University, career.

Hello everybody, today I will talk about things I hate and like about Chemistry and Farmacy and the University of Chile. I will start with the negative things.

About Chemistry and Farmacy. The options for choose courses of CFG (general training courses) they have little variety and in limited schedules that don't fit with the free time schedules. We always have a problem with taking courses on the platform "U Campus". Also We always have problems with the testing date and with the use of rooms. There could be better organization. 

About the University. I hate things about infrastructure for example we don't have our own diner for lunch. We always have to fight for tables in the yard. A possible solution would be to have a bigger diner and more tables to eat.

Another thing that I don't like is the excessive bureaucracy that there is for EVERYTHING. About the excessive bureaucracy I had problems because to apply for something you must go through many permits.I participate in an organization of students that disseminate science and for the "Day of Science were a lot permits and requests. Its a lot...

Now the positive thing that is the best are many things. I am study the career that I like in the place I wanted. The university have the public focus that I like. It has a variety of profiles where you can share with other social realities. The university has very good prestige and political awareness. It has many green places and shade to relax in free time. among other things that make up for the negative. 

Hachikō

                                 Hachikō

Hello everybody, today I will talk about a movie that I love it called "Hachiko". Is't the saddest movie that I've seen. The film tells of an ancient Japanese story, a dog named Hachiko, a Japanese Akita dog, waiting for its owner at the train station for a long time waiting for him to return. It is a dramatic film, American of the year 2009, is an updated version of the original movie of the year 1987.

I saw the movie in 2014, when I was 17, I was very excited to see it, I cried almost during the whole movie. 

The story start when Hachiko was a puppy, and the cage where Hachiko used to go falls, getting lost in the train station, where the music teacher Parker Wilson (interpreted by Richard Gere) finds it and decides to adopt it. They form a beautiful link.

Hachiko went every day to look for his owner at the train station, until one day his master did'nt return. Peter Wilson dies from cardiac arrest in classes. Hachiko awaits his owner until his death, hoping that his duel will return.

It's very exciting the link they managed to form, how faithful was Hachiko to it's owner and the love they formed. It's a very exciting movie and the story that really happened.


I recommend seeing her with handkerchiefs in her hand.
