Summer Holidays

For this summer holidays I have many things to do. I will start the first week with the most important things I´m going to eat the double of my weight in ice-cream, then  I will take a long cold shower and finally I will start my aestivation  (so I think I will sleep at least  three days).

After of that the holidays can really start. I have to keep the house clean, make the food and the rooms, I finally will start a training plan to be stronger (or maybe just pass the time with something). I hope pass enough time with my boyfriend and my friends (before they go to summer trip with their family).

About travel maybe I will go to Viña del Mar (city where my grandparents are living) and to Algarrobo with my family. I want to ride my bike in both places, especially in Viña, because there are many streets and long bicycle paths (but I have to admit that I feel sleepy when I stay there). 

Maybe I will hang out with my mother and my brother to the center of city.

Every year my family spends a lot time in the beach, but sometime my father is illuminated by something and take us and we have a family trip. I think that my parents don´t want to take a family trip because my brother and mother are saving money for a big trip in honor that my brother finish the elementary school.

Painful Memories

Every week I expose myself to very dangerous things. I'm an absent-minded person so I crash into people, hit my limbs with tables, walls, chairs and all kinds of furniture. In the pool my integrity always could be affected by kicks, pool floors, strong arms, and very excited people.

But anything is worst (I hope it) that the worst accident that I had. When I was twelve or eleven years, I used to participate in scout activities of my old school. Every Saturday we did games, sang songs and shouted the loudest we could. So shortly after that I joined, we had a camp in the north of Chile.

I was younger (with other girls) than the other members of the group, so I have good memories, bad memories and really boring ones. In the bad ones I have the worst fall that I had.

The group was playing “El florin” (game with song and clapping). In the game two people take another one, move the arm back and forth and the last person is pushed to the forth and has to pass between the other members of group, who do a circle.

Well, it was my turn so they took me from my arms, I said “do it with more force” and they pushed me but my feet stuck to the ground and I fell with my face. I had a short period where I don’t remember anything, then I was surrounded by my partners, went to the hospital in a car, went to another hospital and another, people talking about putting me some stiches and pain and fear mix in my body. Finally the chief of the group decided not to put me anything more than a false stiches and continuing with the camp.

Postgraduate studies

I don’t know if in the future I am going to do a course or any postgraduate study but  I think (maybe because the teacher say us if we want research we have to do a master in the country and doctorate in the abroad ) that I need it.

In the option of the university give there 4  areas to specialization: environmental biochemistry,  applied clinical biochemistry, toxicological biochemistry and molecular diagnosis and biochemistry of proteins and biotechnology (also the university give us  the opportunity to do the master at the same time that we do the finals course of undergraduate and hand over one thesis for the two titles).  If I had to choose I decide for clinical biochemistry because I want to have knowledge about how use the biochemistry for the health. On the other hand I want to study psychology for two main reasons. The first I want learn how the people act and second connect these behaviors with the knowledge, and then study how improves the learning. I want to study in the country but maybe I have to travel to deepening in these areas.

If I could have psychology course maybe I liked to study neuroscience and developmental psychology. Both are too interesting for me.

I like the study face to face, presence class, the technology approaches us, never is the same and the people need human contact.

Future job

First of all I think that is too early to decide what thing I want to do in the future. Many things could happen in five years and maybe I would find something that I enjoy (little) more than everything (I have to do Investigations Unit   and participate in more activities).

I like the knowledge of everything, especially about the matter and the life, it’s fantastic to know how the body works and why the things do this or that, but this knowledge is useless and if the people don’t work with that the humanity will not progress , the world needs brains with plans, ideas, and energy. And in the bottom of my heart I know that I don’t have big ideas for the progress, but I hope to do something to pass the knowledge to someone that be able to use. 

I want work in class design  and new methods for the study based on research about brain (or maybe be a teacher). This requires knowledge of my career but I have to study more about the brain and the biological things that happen in there so I will need to study after the career. I think the knowledge can be expressed in different way not in four walls and listening to the teacher, If I could work on this I don’t care too much about the money (but I hope to have enough to live).

Also I want to live and work in Valparaiso and I work in outdoors and indoors (the knowledge couldn’t be locked) and if I could, without traveling (but if I must do I will do it).
