BLOG 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hello!
I have always thought that learning English it's such an amazing experience and it is really important in life because is the most common language of the world. You can literally communicate with a person from another country, who might have a different culture and also a different language.
Learning English at university has been fun, I enjoy writing blogs but sometimes there are some topics that are difficult for me because I don't know about postgraduate studies and things like that. 
I really struggle speaking in English when I'm being evaluated because I have stage fright so I need to improve on that, but I really enjoy challenging myself when I'm speaking with a person from another country because I know they wouldn't judge me, I mean they are learning Spanish too. I hope you get my point.
I use English a lot, I watch movies with subtitles and all the music I listen to is in English. I also watch a lot of videos on Youtube like interviews and shows from the US, that's like my guilty pleasure. I also read a lot of movie reviews from sites like The Hollywood Reporter, New York Times, Variety Fair and others especially in this time of the year because of the Oscar buzz and all of that. I basically live on the internet until the Academy Awards, I love cinema.
I think I will never stop learning English and that is somehow fascinating because it makes me want to keep improving on it.
As always, thank you for reading. I hope you have a lovely day :)

BLOG 9: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hello there! I hope you are having a lovely week so far.

Today I'm going to write about a topic that I don't know that well. There are a few things I would change of my study programme but I don't really mind how it is right now.
I'm happy with the subjects that we have in the first year because in my opinion you have to know all the basic sciences in order to know more complicated subjects like physiology or botany. I don't know anything about the other subjects of the career but it seems like they are okay because I haven't heard anything bad about them.
I'm happy with the length of studies (five and a half years) because I think you learn all the details of the career you are studying.

I think that some of the lessons are way too long, for example, we have mathematics for three hours straight and when it's over you are so exhausted.
Even when we have a lot of hours of one subject, some teachers seem like they are in a rush because it's like they are throwing all of their knowledge at you in one class, it's quite daunting and scary.

In terms of faculty facilities I'm pleased but I have some troubles with the acoustic of the classrooms, you can barely listen to what the teacher is saying and that it's awful.
I would like to have more places to study because when we are getting closer to exams everyone is in the library and making so much noise.

The use of technology is fine but I don't know a lot about technology so the less we use it the better.

As I said, I'm pleased with the current programme and I don't have so many complaints.

BLOG 8: SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Hi guys, today I'm going to write about my summer holidays.

This is really exciting because I'm going back home. I will hang out with my friends and also spend time with my family, I miss them so much and I can't wait to see everyone. I think I'm struggling with homesickness right now.

I'm sure that my uncle will make me work in the farm but I don't really care because as I said, I miss pretty much everything.

I have made really good friends in university, to be honest with you we became close friends really quickly. We called ourselves family, that's so cute :)

We want to go to Papudo, one of our friends has an apartment there. I'm sure we will have fun because apparently we love to be around each other, sometimes it's quite annoying for other people and I don't blame them for that.

I also think I will go to crazy adventures with my dad like hiking, I don't know why I do this to myself. I hate sports, I'm so bad that it's embarrassing but I like spending time with my dad.

I want to learn how to drive and I think I will do it in Victoria because we live away from the city and the chances of killing somebody are not that high. I know it sounds awful but it's true.

I hope you have fun in your holidays :)

BLOG 6: POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

Hello, how are you? I hope you are having an amazing week so far.

Today I'm going to write about postgraduate studies, a topic that is quite difficult for me because I don't know anything about it.

I did some research about postgraduate studies in the pharmacy area and I found out that University of Chile offers a PhD on pharmaceuticals sciences. I would like to take this one because apparently it has a lot to do with investigation. Molecular Pharmacology seems like a fun subject in the program. My only problem with this and also every single one of the PhDs, is that you have to do a thesis to get your degree and I suffer with stage fright since an early age but I need to learn how to deal with it, otherwise I won't be able to do a lot of things.

I would like to study in Chile and England, the second one because I want to learn English and study in an English speaking country seems like a good idea.

To conclude with this topic I want to make clear that I think postgraduate studies are really important because you grow up as a professional and as a person. Also you keep your brain constantly working.

At the end of the day you never stop learning.

That's it, thank you for reading. See you next time.
