English language challenges

Image
My experience about learning English at university was new and fun. I thought it was go in to be a boring subject and very hard to follow the rhythm and understand. I'm happy I was wrong. I learned a lot of useful things, find directions, make tourism, different types of questions, aspect of my career in English, etc. And of course the most important to me was express myself in English, even if I just do it while I write. I think blogs were a very good idea to improve learning, I could find a new way to express an opinion in other language. But the hard part to me was fight with the time of the verbs I used, I think with more practice is go in to be more easy to handle.  Although, I think are little mistakes that can make difficult to understand what I'm trying to say, but sometimes is necessary fail to improve.  Pronunciation and grammar are my big problems, especially the first. I don't have anyone who can practice with me, and I'm so shy and I always make ...

Changes to my study programme

Image
Now I'm only in my first year of pharmacy, but I think a big change that could be great for the programme is made some practices in the first year. Is important for improve our education know what we want to do and have motivation for study, but is difficult keep trying when you don't know what a pharmacist really do, what are their potential and their resposabilities? I think is not the same listen someone's experience that live it by your own. I think the university could it be more flexibly in this topic. In Pharmacy we have to study different subjects, starting with physics, math, chemistry, laboratories, to continue with clinical pharmacy, assistant pharmacy, biology, organic chemistry, analytic chemistry, biochemistry a lot of chemistry!, and more pharmacological subjects . Every subjects in the programme is important around the career, but if is a very overload programme. We have a lot of workload in all the years of the career, with 7 or 8 subjects in every ...

In my opinion

Image
I don't like fight, but sometimes argue happen when you have an opinion. I think one of the most controversy topics is abortion in 3 cases, especially in Chile. We are so late about it, we are one of the last countrys in approve abortion in 3 cases. In my opinion we shouldn't  argue this, is a right for women take care of their bodies and choose if they don't want to continue a pregnancy when is infeasibility, or for other reasons. I believe in rights for all citizens and we all have opinions, but a lot of people talk about women like they can tell them what to do with their life, their body, etc. Pregnancy is a difficult stay, is not for everyone, and the 3 cases are very reasonable reasons to decide to have an abortion. And talking about that, last week I watch a terrible new about girls who were stab during a protest about abortion. I believe is necessary inform people with a lot of detail about what happen every day. Although violence on television is so normal n...

Depression

Image
I think one of the worst mental diseases is depression. All my life is around of depression, I saw it in my friends, my family, my idols, everywhere and no one take it serius because is so hard to understand and feel  empathy . The main  characteristics  are feeling a permanet sadness and loneliness, lose interest in life, have difficults to do basic  things of your daily life , avoid people who loves you, etc. Chile is one of the most depress countrys in the world, and affects women, men, kids and old people in differents ways. Women are more prone to have it and live with it and men are more prone to commit suicide. Also suicide increase on young people, that’s terrible isn’t? Don’t find a solution when you are supose to start your life. For a treatment the first step is asking for help, visit a  psychologist or a psychiatrist, or both of them. Today exists a lot of medicines for depression, especially  antidepressants the most usual ...

Post Graduate studies

Image
When I finally get my professional degree of Pharmacist I would like to keep trying with new challenges for my career. Is very difficult think in a master programme or diplomas, even a pH makes  me feel too much anxiety, after all is my first semester of college, but is something I want to do of course, I want to be a very prepared professional.  My plan after graduate is continue with a short program like a diploma, especially in Clinic Pharmacy, because I love study but I want to work and used the tools I learned first, and a diploma is just one year more of study. And after that continue with a master degree in Pharmacies Sciences other two years. The best reason for make this new step is to be an excellent professional in the job I do, and study interesting and new subjects like biopharmacy, pharmacy technology, pharmacy for patients, and participate in investigations about new medicines and sickness.  I would like to study in Chile, in the same university I gr...

My future job

Image
When I finish my major I would like to work in a hospital. I think my life will have more meaning if everyday I could help someone, especially if is someone’s who is sick.  Is difficult think about what a pharmacist do in a hospital, but they are an important part of the team, they need to provide medicines for all the hospital. When my  classmates and I visited a hospital we learn to much about they. I imagined a new adventure every day in the hospital, meeting new people, and new sickness. I'm a very shy person, so an outdoors job is a challenge for me, but is the only idea that makes me happy. Now I’m studying a Pharmacy’s major and in the future I will like a master's in Clinic Pharmacy because is a good choice to improve my career.  I really like the idea of traveling, but I'm not into traveling for work, I think is fun just the first time, but be away of your family mostly of the time sounds sad for me.  Of course I will like had a good salary, but...

Choose my favorite film is a really hard question, but after a long reflection a think my favorite movie is definitely Kill Bill Vol 1. And why I like it so much? Well it’s directed by Quentin Tarantino, the history is about the bride who was betrayed by her ex-boyfriend, father of her daughter. She was one of the best female assassins in the world, and she wants escape of that kind of lifestyle for her daughter, but Bill doesn't like that, so he try to kill her. Beatrix wake up after a 4 years coma and takes her revenge. This film has everything, action, comedy, good actors, an amazing soundtrack and the beautiful Uma Thurman. The first I watch this film I was 10, on , now on my 20 I still enjoy it, It's a perfect movie to watch on a Friday night with friends.  Love in the time of cholera My favorite book is more difficult to choose, but a think the best history I had ever read is Love in the time of cholera, by Gabriel García Marquéz. I read it for a test of literatur...
