Blog post 5: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
 I study chemistry at the University of Chile, I am in my second year. There are many things that I would change in the program of study of the career and I believe that for future generations they would be very beneficial. In the first place, four different careers coexist in the faculty and the four have an almost identical curriculum for the first two years. For me it is necessary for the different careers to have specific subjects for each one from the second year onwards so that students become familiar with each one's career more quickly. Another thing I would change is the need to attend 100% of the seminars to pass the subject, I would lower the attendance to 75% keeping the 100% as it is done in the English subject, so that students can manage their time in different ways and can do things outside the university like going to the doctor or doing paperwork easily. Thirdly, I think the hours of class per week are excessive, 40 hours is too much, I would lower the hours of cl

POST 4: TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST OR FUTURE

Imagen
  If I could travel in time, I would travel to the future. Because the past is already written, but no one knows what will happen tomorrow also i didn´t like the history so I prefer the technology. I would like to know the technology of the future. I think about how much the world has changed in a hundred years, what will it be like in a hundred years? I would like to see the new landscapes: if there will be new forests, new beaches, or if everything will be full of gigantic buildings.   I would like to see my footprint in the world.   If you ask me, I wouldn't like to stay there; I would try to learn as much as possible from there and bring all that information to the present. If I see something I don't like, I would try to prevent it from happening. My journey to the future would be a mission to make a positive impact on the world.   I would not like to travel far into the future because I think the world or humans in one thousand years would not exist. However, within

My Dream Job

Imagen
Scientific researcher. I'm doing a major in chemistry and I'm thinking of working as scientific researcher. I would like to work on this because I think that it seems very interesting and admirable. I think that would be very amazing to be part of an important scientific investigation and discover something new, surprising and that could change the way that we know the world. I would love that my name to be remembered for something like this. For this kind of job I would need to finish my major and do a master and a doctorate for have more knowledge and specialties. Through these courses I should have more analytical, quantitative and laboratory skills and many more, for this reason my major is an essential part of achieving this. I can do this job in my country but I can also do my research in another country, so is a possibility that I can travel. Also, if I have some important scientific finding, for conferences or things like that, I would also have to travel to other count

The best vacation

Imagen
  The best vacation I've ever had I have had few vacations with travel or a lot of excitement, I went to Antofagasta, Valparaiso/Viña del mar because I have family living in those cities, but summer 2021-2022 I decided to travel by plane and alone to Osorno. I stayed with a friend, she lives there. I went for nine days. My idea was to travel in January but I got sick with covid. The first day I traveled from Coquimbo to Santiago by bus and from Santiago to Osorno by plane, the Osorno airport is very small. This day we toured the center of Osorno. The second day was my favorite. I called it the day of waterfalls, rivers and lakes. I went down a waterfall. I saw the Osorno volcano and the Petrohué river. I did Canopy, the third largest canopy in Latin America. It was very exciting that day, I can't forget it. The other days were quieter, I continued touring more places like Frutillas, Puerto Varas and even the last day we went camping. This is my favorite vacation becaus

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Imagen
 A country I would like to visit is Japan, a liitle comun but i would like because I think is the country that I know more things about, this is because when I was a child my granfather showed me pictures from there and he told me about the samurai, since then I became interesed in japanese culture, its traditions and places. I would like to have the possibility to visit Japan in different seasons of the year, to be able to enjoy the events of each season. I think that would be very beautiful to go to hanami, that is the tradition of see the cherry blossom trees in spring. I would also want to visit Tokyo, wich is the capital of Japan, go to some matsuri, which are traditionals festivals where you can try traditional japanese food; see the famous Mount Fuji and visit a japanese garden where I could appreciate the native flora and fauna. Here in Santiago there is a japanese garden but is very little. I honestly don't know if I would live or work there, I think I would like to visit

The best website for Chemistry

Imagen
  Hello everyone, as you know I am a chemistry student and one of the pages that I use the most today is quimica.es. I like this page because it is a "Wikipedia" of chemistry and it is in spanish. I use it a lot to look up molecules when I need their physical and chemical properties, like molar weight, melting point, boiling point, densities, etc. There are also news about the world of chemistry, books and products that will be useful to me in the future. I use this site every week because for my laboratory I need to know the properties of the molecules I use and the molecules I synthesize. I recommend this site to all the people who work or study a scientific career or need a basic site to search for molecules. What websites do you use for your careers? Do you recommend any other for chemistry? That's all, until the next blog

My favourite food

Imagen
  Hello everyone, today im going to talk to you about the food i really like. I really like the peperoni pizza of Little cessars. In Coquimbo there isn´t a Little Cessars but when I came to Santiago I ate it and liked it very much. This is a pizza with pepperoni, cheese and tomato sauce, very basic, but the taste is very special, i like the taste of pepperoni, a little spicy but not too much. The pizza dough is thick and soft. I know that pizza it isn´t good for my body but it is very delicius. The good thing is that there is little cessar near my university, so with my firiend or my gilfriend we buy one half each. I like to buy garlic sticks too, in the past i didn´t like but now i like them a little more, I recomend them totally. That is it. Bye bye, until the next blog
