This year...

I think this blog session will be the most personal session, because today I can talk about anything. It's a little bit hard choose something to talk about because rigth now, too much things are flying in my head.
This year... This year it's been so crazy, so full of new things and especially full of big changes.
At the beggining I don´t know what could happend, and at first, I was so afraid of all experiences. It was a big change the pass of school to the university, the pass from the academy to the resident cast of Bafochi, the pass from being owner of my time and do everything I want, to be a slave of things that are really important, and must to depend of my obligations and not of my feelings.
This year I started the road to could fly by my own someday, and be able to be suficient just with me...
In March I couldn't even imagine how hard it'll be. I'd must lear to be more independent, to don't see the all time my friends... but at this time every new thing has a reason. I feel that I am opening my winds, that every step that I take is the best that I can do.
I left the ballet, with the "all pain of my heart", but at least now I got more time, time to see my friends and people that I miss. It's like could breath and see the rainbow after the storm.
I think that a lot of things are still waiting for me, and how says the song..."This could be nothing, but I'm willing to give it a try" so, that's exactly what I'll do :)

Visiting Santiago

Santiago is a big city but not that much as other cities around the world, but, anyway, It's full of nice places to go and a lot of things to do. One of my favourite place to go is the oriental garden in the San Cristobal Hill, this place is so beautifull, plenty of flowers and green, it's ideal to take a little breake and just relax.
Other place that I love is the Forestal park and places near it, Lastarria Neighborhood.I think this is a really beautifull and nice neighborhood were it mix the nature with bohemian things, like literature and stuff. There is the Emporio La Rosa a kind of cafe where it sells ice cream of extranges or unusuall flavors like rose ice cream. A good idea is go to the Aviation Square in a summer nigth, there is a big fountain that turn on a lot of ligths and change colors in armony with the water, and be aeating a delicius ice cream of the Bravissimo gelatery that is like three blocks away.
Coming back with San Cristobal Hill, in this place we found a lot of different things to do like go to the swimming pool, go to the Zoo, go to the restaurant or just walk. You could go up in "funicular" or "teleferico" and enjoy of a great view of the hill.
Also, If you wanna go out at nigth o go to a party, you could visit streets like Suecia Avenue or Republica maybe. I hope you enjoy Santiago! :)

Music!


When I was looking for a picture to put in this blog I've found a really nice quote, that when I read it I fell in love with it... and says: "We are music".
That is exactly what I think. Music is a big part of our lifes, or in my case it's that way. I love music, it's something really essencial to my. It abble to bring me happyness or to transport me to other time, remains me past moments and at the same time, it is something that joins me in my life and it's a big part of my pasion...the dance. It is the complement to the thing that I love whit my all hearth, the thing that makes me really really happy, so... how not to love music?
Music is in everything we do, when we walk we hear the sound of our shoes, or when we are under a tree just breathing we can feel the sound of nature.
When I´m sad or I just wanna to be relax, the only thing that I do is listening to music and close my eyes. Music gives me the strength to keep going, then I feel lighter, like nothing bad could happend, it's like my own shelter.
I'm a kind of music addict, so I could not survive if I dont have it.

A talk review

Today I'm going to do a review about Sir Ken Robinson's opinion.
He says everybody is interested about education because, take us to a future that we can not understand, this way, everything starts with education.
Also says every kid has a big talent, and that we are responsible for spoil this talent in them. And this it’s so terrible because creativity it’s as important as the education. Children are not afraid to be wrong; they take the chance to do new things. Kids will take a chance, because if they don't know, they'll try, anyway they'll take the risk to do something new.
If you are not prepared to be wrong, you'll be not prepared to be original. And with the pass of the time, as we grow up, they are losing the capacity to be creative, children loose the courage to be wrong, they start to be afraid to not be right, because we stigmatize mistakes. We educate people out of creative capacities. Public education or in general, education, focuses just to feed the brain, and, as we start to grow up, the education it's turning more and more limited at one area. School just prepare people to develop their brains and forgets that other things are important too.
He says that we must to change our concept of intelligence, because exist a lot of types of it and everyone should be take seriously this subject; no make a side everything that it's not related to the academic area. Intelligence is dynamic, diverse and distinctive and because of it, we should adopt a new conception of human capacity.

My blogging experience

Today is my final blogging session, so, I'm going to talk about this all new experience to me, that it was blogging. Sometimes I enjoy it, but others, I did hate it!... This big difference because some blogs were too boring and I didn't want to write because were about things that I don't really care, but, some others blogs were really easy to write, it were abouts things that I like, or what I'd like to do in the future. I think that is easier for me to write about things that I'm interested in, than things that I have to write about as an obligation, for example, write about my future, a photograph I love and at the same time write about important people to me, was so much fun and natural, than write about someone who I don't know and try to find why she could be the best in my area.
If you asks me...Did it help me? yes, I must say that write in english is a big help to improve the way in what I expres myself in this languaje, and at the same time is a big opportunity to learn new words when we try to say something. I learnt new expresions and I think that I improve the way I talk. I think, at the same time I win confidence to give my opinions in english.
From other point of view, I think that the blogging sessions, could be a little bit motivating write about thigs that I love, like music, song, movies, things that make us expand when we write. Things that make our minds fly away and this way, have a space for learn and enjoy at the same time. I'd like to upload songs or things like and do the excersice of traslate it into spanish.
Talking about blogging in english classes, I think that sometimes It was not much time to do it, so we wrote so fast and just to be able to go at home, after a big day at the university, so I think that It was a big disadvantage, but for the other side, some blogs, we could finish it at home, so it was flexible in this aspect, but just sometimes. I guess that it's all for now. =)

My ideal job

Today I'm going to talk about my ideal job. Obviously I want to have a job in my area, I'd like to work in a hospital because I thing in this place it´s need more staff to cover all the people that's going to get help, and this way feeling better. It´s in this place where the sistem collapses and always is welcome new people.
Moreover I'd like to be working in a clinic or in some place, where be able to have a good work to can have a good life and at the same time, I could include some alternative therapies like acupuncture to help people to have other alternatives to the conventional medicine, and help them to have a more natural way to relax for the delivery and this way could bring a little of calm at this important moment of their lifes.
Also I'd like to work with children at social risk doing dance lessons or something like that, I'd like to give them a piece of me and a piece of what I love, to help them and at the same time, make them a little bit happier.
To be able do all these things I must to study a lot, so, this way I'd could be a great professional. I need to finish my career and learn about other interesting things like acupuncture and at the same time not to forget my goals and purposes in life.
I think that I could be very good doing all these things because are things that I love, or that give me motivations to be a better person, at the same time I think this ideal job could be a little bit difficult to get it because involves a really big kind of components, and be able to put all these things together could be no much easy.

Genetics

My favourite subject this semester has been genetics. This is one part of the course "Bases celulares, genéticas y del desarrollo ontogénico humano" or, in english, cellular, genetic and ontogenetic development of human bases. this subjects was give it by a lot of teachers, but in my practical jobs (in the lab) we were working with Laura Walker, and I think She is the best teacher ever, and we could not be more lucky for have lessons with her.
I love this subject because takes a lot of interesting aspects about problems, disease; this cience explains you, how you are the human been that you are, how is possible that your parents gave you their genetic information, the necessary information to form a complete little person from just two separated cells that fuse and form the embryo; how all these activities are controlled by genes and how these are controlled too.
This semester I learnt a lot of things, from the cellular process (a big part of them) untill the control of them and how all these elements bring life to our body. Also I learnt about pathologies, how this could happend and the physic features. All these between others.
