Changes to my study program

Well, I’m a psychology student and in my first and second year we have a common plan where we are nivelated to studying different areas of psychology in the rest of the years of our career. Even though I like to know about social history, psychobiology and philosophy, I don’t really feel motivated, just in this grade I feel like I’m learning about psychology, learning about child development and social psychology.

On the other hand, I really hate the transversal course. I know that is necessary to our formation  but the only transversal that we had was terrible, we had to watch video classes. I don't like online classes, I feel that it’s necessary that we learn face to face, it’s not the same to watch a video that talks face to face with the teacher.

Another thing that I don’t like about my study program is that, for the pandemic, like generation we will lose many experiences because the teachers don’t do a lot of activities that they did before the pandemic, the type of activities that they did out of the university, like visiting social spaces.

Finally, I think that one of the difficulties that we will have with our program will be the optative course, because there are limited places and, finally, one has to decide to go to the course that has a place to go.

If i went to the past and the future

I would like to know about other times: Chile in 1949, Chile in the Pacific War, Chile in the 1851 rebellion. I like history, I like to know what the people thought about the things that were living. I know that it’s horrible, I mean, you are saying to me that you wanna see all those terrific things? Yes, I want to see all those things. I know that there are books and pappers, and films based on books and investigations. We never will know at all if things happened like that, we will never know if all the myths of history are myths or facts. 

Also, I would like to visit the future. At this moment you should know that I’m curious and although if the future it’s a science fiction novel, I want to know. I really hope that the climate change is stopped and the future generations won’t live in a desert or on little islands. Also I hope that the governments won’t have the people in horrific situations, like “1984”,  “Fahrenheit 451” or worse: “Brave new world”. 
Now that I'm thinking about it, I only want to go to a future where I won't be alive. I’m an anxious person and if I know about my future I will go crazy. But the future of others…

My future

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a model LOL. But while I was growing up my mind changed and I thought that being a psychologist was a good idea. My friends told me that I was good at listening and, like a joke, they told me that I could be a good psychologist. I thought about that. So I’m studying for that. Even so, it was very difficult to decide to do it. I was thinking of studying literature. Being an editor was a dream to me, because in that way I could read and choose what type of books are published, especially the romantic books that are published are badly written or communicate bad relationships. But with the result of PTU I decided to study psychology, effectively my other option was literature, but when I did the PTU I told myself that if I got the score to study psychology I would. Even though I don’t want to work in an office, I think that I will be happy helping people, but I think that if I work in an office I will be bored all day, although I wish that it wouldn't be like that.

The best Holidays

The best holiday that I had was when I went with my mother and her boyfriend to Castro in 2018. At the beginning, we went to Temuco and we slept in the car, because we didn’t find another place to sleep. Afterwards, we went to Villarrica and visited a customary fair, where we ate empanadas and sopaipillas. Later, we traveled to Valdivia and met an island where we ate blueberry pie and  local liquor. After that we were going to return to Santiago, but my mother’s boyfriend didn’t take the return, and we ended up sleeping in a hostel in the ferryboat town. The ferryboat travel was so beautiful, even though it was cold and windy, the ocean looked magnificent. When we arrived, we traveled to Ancud, we visited a museum and a church under renovation. But the best thing was that there was a minga, where we ate curanto and milcao. Finally, we traveled to Castro, we saw the crunch and the square.
Was beautiful, and a journey.

What country would you like to go to?

 I would like to travel to Greece. I've been very interested in Greek culture since I was a child. I had a book from the school that I liked to read and learn about the names and the power of the gods, my favorite was Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. Years later, my mom gave me the first book about “Percy Jackson and the Olympyans”. Even so,  I'm not a big fan of the epics but I recognize the value they have in the literature of the world. As for Greek philosophy, my teacher of philosophy in the school made us read about Arisóteles and Platón, so I know something about that.

I don’t want to travel to Greece to learn about the government or the economy, much less I want to study or live there. I just want to enjoy the fantastic history and culture that this country has, see the wonderful beaches, the buildings, the ruins and eat some typical dishes.
