BLOG 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

I really like English, and I'd love to deepen it more and perfect it, but there's still no motivation to do it. In itself I am quite curious and therefore, I am very curious in the language, in addition this languages open thousand doors, however, both at school and at university I happened the same, and that is that I do not feel that an interesting subject .

I find the subject of blogs very funny, I feel that it is a good option for despair and disappearance of many aspects of those who do not agree, but often it is exhausting, write a blog in English every week, and more to a person who does not handle the language. Also, you have to try too hard and I don't t know if there is another person read this, this may be (in part) in vain.

Definitely what English the most difficult to me is talking; if they speak to me, I understand almost 90% of the sentence, but when I try to express myself ... HORRIBLE! I practically speak "I Natalia, you who??" jajajajajaj and the only way to improve that aspect would be practicing, that is, speaking; however, It's embarrassed, because I know that my English is not the best!

Outside English class, the maximum of English I use, to tell the truth, is watch subtitled films and sometimes get ahead of what they will say, but more than that, I do not practice English, because I don't have the need to do it. But well, one day I learn English.

BLOG 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

This semester has been somewhat stressful, due to the amount and difficulty of the subjects, moreover, I still have the second rounds test and I already feel tired, I just want to rest and that the semester ends.

If I think about it, I would like the study plan to be better organized, that is, that the academic load is better distributed, due (as I said earlier) this semester, it has been very exhausting. Compared to the curriculum of previous years (we are new mesh), this semester was much more relaxed, however, many subjects were advanced, and that is where I disagree. The subjects that advance, caused a lot of workload, and therefore the study time, is excessive, my weekend is, generally, just studying.

Turning to another topic, but no less important, one can notice, that for undergraduate students, the academic facilities are the most basic, and when I refer to basic, I speak of old and neglected. My biggest complaint is due to the study and lunch spaces, since there are often no places to sit, and what to say, spaces covered with tables and chairs (imagine when it rains); there isn't for the amount of people in the faculty. 

I've toured other universities, and the comfort of the infrastructure, provides a favorable place for the performance of the race; however, in our faculty and personally, I do not like to spend more time than I should in the university, since there is no comfortable and quiet place to study.

In terms of technology and teaching, I do not have much to say; Some of our teachers have the willingness to teach, but as in any other place, there are others who care very little, whether you understood the subject or not, but well, that happens everywhere and people who do not like their work, There will always be.

BLOG 8: SUMMER HOLIDAYS

A few years ago we started going to the south of Chile, as we had according to friends and family it was a VERY nice place! In the first instance we went to "Licanray" which is approximately 9 hours from Santiago. However this holiday we plan to go a little further and get to know "Frutillar", which would take us two more hours of travel. And well, from there, able to go out to travel places that are further away (an exit for the day).
We will go as a family, until now we are 5 (my parents, my sister, my boyfriend and I), but like all vacations, it’s most likely that we will add 4 more (my sister's family). As we are many, it is often difficult to match so many holiday dates to be able to leave, so the date is still unclear.
Being there in the south, we will definitely go out to know the different places that the place gives us, such as the Teatro del Lago, Muelle Frutillar or Museo Colonial Alemán, etc. And what about me, some other activity that comes along the way.
We (as a family) are well organized, however many things we leave to chance and we let them just happen, that nature surprises us and ventures to the deepest. Regarding past holidays, nothing to say, each vacation is very different from the other and every time we had a better time!

Blog 7: Pets

In 2009 I went to visit a friend who lived near me, to my surprise, in the next house were giving away puppies (I had always wanted one), I warned my mother and that day was when arrive my “Reina" (yes, that's what it's called). For me, it is the most beautiful beauty that could exist and since then I didn’t know what an animal could interact SO MUCH with a human and be so intelligent! When he wants water, he approaches the dishwasher and starts jumping, leaving more than clear what he wants. She’s a single caregiver; the most interesting thing is that it has different barking, and we know immediately if it is for a bird, another dog or a person approaching. I definitely don’t imagine life without it, it's my baby and it gives me a lot of joy just to see it.

Now .. about 1 week and a half came a new member to the family "Lucky", the rabbit! Jajajajajaj the most funny thing is that he came to my father's work; it was he who caught him and took him to the house. He’s a scared (or even imagined)! Every time he sees us, he stands still, pretending to make him the dead and swears that we don’t see him. However two days ago I came to watch him with a camera, while we "weren’t in the house” ... IS A CRAZY! It has us all deceived! It moves, stretches, eats, washes .. and despite sometimes we get tired (because having a rabbit carries many responsibilities), I would die the soul not having it, this guy in 1 week stole my heart.

BLOG 6: POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

I believe that it’s always good to specialize in what one works/does, because the deepening of knowledge also allows a better service to those who need it in an area; so I find it extremely important after having a professional degree, at least doing some type of course or going to events. As well as to be aware of the new developments that hit the market.
It is difficult to think about what I would like to study in the future, if I nisiquera I feel determined in what I am going to dedicate (as I said in the blog last) regarding my work. However (I know it does not have much to do with my career), I would like to take a course of "Image consulting" abroad (I still do not decide well what country), which is never badly welcomed, because it is something so basic, like learn to dress so that you can go anywhere, and take it to work allows a better personal presentation.
I find a very good idea, for this type of case, to divide the time between work and study, since for the date, I would have my university degree and it would be me who would pay me this course "extra" therefore I need money.
I am a person to look to the future, but I setting goals a little close, therefore think of some postgraduate, is not yet in my plans, since I still have a lot of career ahead ... maybe in 6 years more will see me traveling by the world and studying "image consulting", who knows ..

BLOG 5: MY FUTURE JOB

At this time, I feel that I am very hesitant in the work I would like to play. At first when I entered the race, I always imagined working in the area of ​​cosmetics, however now I also draw attention to the area of ​​care, pharmacy and industrial.
Now, I still follow my main option the first named .. Traveling for my job? A very present idea, I WOULD LOVE IT! In fact I would like to enter an international industry for the same, I know it is complex, but it is a goal; since I feel it is a good way to know the world and who knows, stay to live.
Also many times in Europe or the USA, they work with very current products or machinery, that is, to be at the forefront. The only problem I can find is animal testing, which I would not want to be a part of.
Specializing in the creation or quality management of cosmetics, so I think I would have to work inside an industry. Being possible to go out to some convention of beauty and trends, technology and new products to use, course, etc., which I also want to make it a goal. With a fair wage, and that allows me to save to be able to travel! Hahaha
If you ask me why enter the area of ​​beauty, it is because I have always been concerned about the personal presentation, also entertains me and casually my two sisters, also dedicate themselves to this area, obviously each in its own way.

BLOG 4: THEMATIC POST - NATIONAL HOLIDAYS (SEPTEMBER 18th)

Everything starts with a Friday 15 and the “Quimifonda”, from there, I knew that I was going to be well, the only one that I found at these parties was that the holidays were very short (in my opinion).

Now, let's begin, as I already said, in our faculty there was a kind of “fonda”, which I enjoyed with my friends, who, to tell the truth, were lost in a moment! Jajajajajaja Finally, everything quiet until the 18th, we went to the countryside to spend with the family of my brother-in-law; We ate “anticuchos, empanadas, pebre, mote con huesillo”, we dronk "terremotos" (typical drink of this date) and the most entertaining, we had fun with a couple of typical games of the festival! Throw the rope, the table calls, gimkana, etcetera, never imagined that everyone would dare to play! Hahahaha

For the 19th, with my friends we got together and went to the "Fonda del Nacional", there were MUCH people! In that place take advantage of eating me a ”empanada de pino”, a choripan and an anticucho hahaha but before all that, we dared to get up to electronic games like those of “Fantasilandia”... WE HAD SO good, we laughed too much and enjoyed every moment.

In short, it was an 18, very moving and entertaining. I took advantage of enjoying it with whoever I most loved and of course, eaten and danced, no one takes it from me! VIVA CHILE MIE...!
