English experience.

When I was a kid, I felt fulfilled knowing a couple of colors and numbers, like blue and red, and one, two, three, and the truth is that through the years I was increasingly interested in the idea of learning new words, but I ain't started learning English at school till I was at 5th grade. It was then that I started linking the English language perse.
Just the truth of things I would have preferred to study English as a subject from kindergarten or first grade.
Or even from a young age when learning to speak. In this way it would be like a second mother language and things would be quite different.

Here at the university I entered the third grade of English. But really the program taught by the university in this subject, in my opinion, is not a program that trains a person to go out into the world of work with a high level of English, but rather helps to express ourselves by exercising reading, writing and verbal expression. But the real training is what we bring with ourselves from always.
Writing blogs (or anything, but in English) is very useful to learn new words or phrases that before we didn’t know. And besides is entertaining to write.
What I really think I should do to improve my English is to have conversations in English with people. I feel that I know a lot of English, only that I have not had the disposition, the time or the money for the example, to pay for an English course like Open English.
And in truth, every day I occupy little English, only those moments that I see some movie / series, when I listen to music or when I look for information to study.

Changes.

As everything in any ambit, there is always a thing we can change to make it better. The carrer of pharmacy must be subject to changes, as a few carrers related to the area of health.
The career subjetc of the last semester, the pharmacist and his action, contains a section in which a couple of topics should be discussed. To me and my group, it corresponded to us to debate against the current curricular mesh of the carrer.
In this we do not agree with the professor, but the truth for us makes a lot of sense:
we believe that contemplating "ethics" as a subjetc is a pretty rational idea.
It is assumed that ethics is implemented transversally in each subject, but we believe that it is really necessary to be treated particularly as ethics and not globally through the career, even keeping in mind that this is an ethical career and everything that implies.
Regarding the workload and duration of the studies there is not much to discuss. The truth of things is that on the one hand is "negative" has a lot of worklaod. It can be very stressful or even frustrating.
But in the long term, it's in this way that we can advance the studies efficiently and systemically.
The duration of the career is well within the parameters that are established. A university career lasts at least 5 years, enough time to achieve the objectives and knowledge required to practice as a pharmacist.

Talking about the facilities of the faculty ... well, in front of this point there is much to discuss. Certainly this is not the most beautiful faculty of Chilean universities.
The facilities there are some good, like the new building built in grass of
"anexo", and others that leave a lot to desire, such as tables in that place, or as the physical state of bathrooms.
Regarding the use of technology, the truth is that it is nothing out of the ordinary in this first year, nothing beyond using a microscope in biology or experiments with current in physics.
I really hope later to be enchanted with processes where other technological instruments are used, such as micropipettes, microscopes of enormous capacity, or a tablet counting machine, in example.
But as well as "change technology", I would only say that it is reasonable to be updated on technological instruments in order to improve the teaching.
And finally speaking of teaching as such in the university, there is not much to change. Only to say that the study is on one's part.
  The professor in the universities is usually that person to whom to direct the doubts of what one has studied.
  Only some teachers are the exception and have the ability or intention to teach in such a way that the student achieves to comprehend the respective subject.

South of Chile.

The end-of-year periods are long and stressful, first in terms of university responsibilities and, on the other hand, trying to meet friends and family.
Finishing with the university this year and it is only to enjoy the vacations completely. It is time to take it to completely recover and renew the energies.I have been thinking that I could work a vacation time and save money to travel to the south of Chile with my friends. They are plans that I have in mind, only that once having the money to pay for everything necessary I will begin to plan everything with regard to routes or time to be outside of Santiago.
Lake Llanquihue could be a place to spend to look at on the way. It is the second largest lake in Chile. It is located between Osorno and Llanquihue in Los Lagos. You can see the Volcano Osorno and Calbuco and its banks are Frutillar, Puerto Varas, Puerto Octay and Llanquihue.
San Rafael Lake.
The north ice field, the san rafael lagoon and the san rafael ventisquero create a beautiful place for it's landscape and its ecological biodiversity, for which the unesco has declared it as biosphere reserve.


And for the last visit to a beautiful place: torres de paine, recognized as a world booking of the biosphere by unesco. conformed from glaciers, mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes.

They are three towers. They are huge granite towers that along their history have gone curious sharp shapes which reaches red shades at dawn and sunset.

Drug abuse and drugs.

I am not completely familiar with the effects or in itself with drug abuse, I simply know that there are more "strong" drugs like cocaine, acids, or heroin, or others more "soft" like marijuana or legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol. Cocaine generates a body effect of hardness, acids or heroin hallucinate, sometimes marijuana on its part makes hallucinate depending on the THC concentration of it, alcohol gets drunk and cigar ... Well, the cigar does not produce a momentary effect. But all causes of the long term cause the degeneration of the person at the body level and some to a greater or lesser extent at the brain or consciousness level.
Talking about legal drugs, like the fast food, tea, sugar or coffee, many of us are addicted to this type of drugs. I'm addicted to fast food and soft drinks.
Now, talking about kind of party and celebrations drugs , at 15-16 years old, I started drinking alcohol at parties and at 16 I started to smoke a cigar, and I did this for 5 years, until October 2016 (11th October specifically), after that I stopped drinking and smoking by decision and personal determination. And on the other hand I am a consumer of recreational cannabis.
But I wouldn't speak of drug abuse at all.

Drugs has positive effects on our organisms, and negative effects, degenerating. Just to name a few, in example marijuana, is one of the most famous and in some parts of the world is already being legalized. Medicinal marijuana helps stopping the spread of diseases such as HIV, Alzheimer, epilepsy and glaucoma, reduce insulin levels for people with diabetes, and other benefits with neuronal diseases such as anxiety and depression. In contrast, its non-medicinal or recreational use through combustion affects male sexual capacity, produces respiratory diseases or negatively affects the brain.
Another very famous drug is cocaine. At one time this drug was totally legal. It helps to combat depression, sexual impotence besides being used as an anesthetic. Also among its negative effects are in general the interruption of the irriga

tion of the blood vessels and generation of psychological problems.
Finally, the drug LSD: According to several studies LSD is used for the treatment of alcoholism, helping the patient not to relapse, so that it gives a different perception of life to analyze the situation.
 Oppositely to the positive effects it generates, or could provoke anxiety and psychosis
A person prone to psychological disorders has a high risk of having undesirable consequences and disorders directly associated with use.

Here is a list of abstinence effects of some drugs:
1. Alcohol: Tremors, insomnia, sweating, nausea, being able to reach convulsions or Delirium.
2. Barbiturates: Anxiety, insomnia, tremors, delirium and seizures.
3. Heroin: Tears, rhinorrhea, irritability, tremors, yawning, piloerection, mydriatic pupils, insomnia, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramps and loss of appetite.
4. Cocaine: Depression, irritability, insomnia, changes in appetite, nausea, lethargy, anergy, psychomotor retardation, disturbed sleep rhythm, hypersomnia, apathy.
5. Cannabis: Insomnia, hyperactivity and decreased appetite.
6. Amphetamines: Fatigue, sleep disorder, appetite disturbances, irritability and depressive mood.
7. Inhalants: Insomnia, increased appetite, depression, irritability and headaches.
8. Tobacco: Anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance.

The abuse of drugs that degenerate the human being impacts directly on development in the society in which we are immersed, forming part of the same social segregation itself.
I don't know an addict people, but I have shared many times with people who are and the truth is the emaciation of the person on a physiological and mental level given the unconsciousness these people present in front of their own reality.
Under the look and knowledge that a pharmaceutic has on drugs, a comparison can be established between good and bad effects of these on the organism of a human and as a consequence in society. In this way, it is necessary to warn against the harmful effects of drug abuse and even more to achieve a decrease in the statistics regarding the number of drug addicts, how addicted they are or similar factors that converge in an integral appreciation of the level of drug addiction of someone.

Future work.

In the future I'd like to work as pharmaceutic, but not for all my life.
Actually as a pharmacist I would like to work in 2 areas in which they (not “we” yet) can perform: on the one hand I'd like to work in investigation area. It sounds like one day you’ll encounter some new radioactive element, or you find out that other people missed a detail in them investigation and did not noticed it when they studied a situation or problem and this detail make the world change radically, for better obviously, or perhaps not just a detail but an idea.
Working in the industry can be interesting, in the other hand, to personally design the challenge of minimizing the impact of the development of the industrial activity of drugs and cosmetics.
They all point to a professional help that must be given to the citizens, which also seems attractive to me because people are being taught for their own health, and it is nice to know that you help in this way more than many others.
I just don’t know if I would practice as a pharmacist all my life: a hypothetical chance also that I have in mind to be able to make investments and be an businessperson in an area of ​​interest and consumption, either within the world of this career as having a pharmacy, or outside of the previous as would be for example have properties, a long and strenuous way, but after that long journey the fruits of the possibility of devoting more time to other things that we could not prioritize.
So in pharmaceutic area or out of it it might be an indoor working.
The topic of money, truth is not a point to focus on, because working as pharmacist in any of its areas does not earn a bad salary. But if there is no family to which it is maintained, the salary will reach perfectly for the necessary and the superficial things.

And after the undergraduate school, I still do not know which major did, but at least I do have in mind to get some more of something, since it is a more necessary enough today.
Maybe an option is to do a Ph.D.

My hobbies.

When I was a kid, I used to play many games as a hobby, as "al pillarse", "caballito de bronce", etc.
But the hobby that I liked the most was playing football. The truth was that I was passionate about playing football, I was not so good at it, was not bad neither... But things happened in my life that separated me from cores of friendships and I left it when I was 14 years old. And the truth today I would like to play again ...
And life was just hobbies when kids.
Within all the things I did as a child, I learned to play guitar, and that is and has been my greatest hobbie.
The truth I can not imagine living without a guitar. Every time I stress at home I take the guitar and with a couple of minutes the therapy is over... hahaha.
Once I got older, I learned how to cook. And for me it's a hobby because I do not cook regularly. I do not usually cook because I do not have the need, but in special occasions it is a very pleasant thing. To welcome the family, to go to someone's house to cook, is a very entertaining activity.
Another hobby is planting. I realized that I had a good hand to look after those organisms, and I began to like the idea. When I was a child, I saw my grandmothers talking to the plants, and I thought to myself, "Is she crazy?", But once I started to hook up with the subject, I realized it was something magic. It is wonderful to see a loved one grow. In addition, it is never too much to have your own fruits, product of your own effort and dedication.
I would never have as hobbie to play games like chess, or poker, or things like that. I actually prefer activities that involve physical activity.
In the future I would like to have hobbie learn as many things as possible in life. I think it would be great someday to become a pretty cultured person.

The heart.

Having a healthy heart is a task that we must learn from a young age, since otherwise we are exposed to diabetes, cardiovascular accidents and a long list of diseases, some mild and other serious.
According to this, we will have a healthy life, which will not avoid as an ancestral method to not suffer any harm, but it is necessary to pump about 4.5L of blood for 24 hours a day throughout life.
Thus, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to do exercise, and mostly (70% of keep a healthy life is in food, and 30% sport).
Therefore we need to be clear what actually means to eat healthy.
Some general features of eating healthy food includes vegetables and fruits, to choose healthy fats, skim milk, pistachios and nuts instead industrial chips, nuts such as walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, garlic herbal salt, olive oil instead butter, cereals, whole-grain bread/wholemeal bread instead of sugary cereals or white bread.

Here in Chile avoid to eat excessively food that contains the black seals:
Black seals are designed for 100 g in the case of solid products, and 100 ml for liquids.
for every 100 grams of this product (which have the "high in" seal , contains the following:
High in calories: 350 calories;
High in sodium, 800 mg of sodium;
High in sugar, 22.5 grams of total sugars;
High fat, 6 g of saturated fat.

In liquids per 100 ml of product, it has the following:
High in calories, it means that it contains 100 calories;
High in sodium, more than 100 milligrams of sodium;
High in sugar, 6 grams of total sugars;
High in fats, more than 3 grams of saturated fats.

Beyond this information, more than anything, have in mind that the food they sell today in the trade is not always a great choice, therefore we must always be very careful and be attentive to the food products we buy. Not always possible but an excellent choice is to cultivate food and produce, being more general.
