New systems ...improove or disaster ???

Transantiago is the new public transport system created in 2007 by our government. Its finality was to avoid bus races in the streets because they produced many accidents. Another reason why this system was implemented is because of a few people own those companies used to have a kind of a monopoly.

The supposed benefits this new transport system would carry to the community were, firstly, less time traveling, secondly, more comfortable machines, thirdly, less air contamination and, finally, less money used in tickets.

This new system consists in having different buses to determined areas of Santiago. If you want to travel from one point to another of different area of Santiago you have to change from one bus to another. You can make 3 bus changes in a route through a period of 2 hours paying only one ticket, these changes cost $400 for adults and $130 for students.

The main problem of this new transport system is that it’s too expensive to our government, because now the ticket costs less than the real price. But if they increase the cost of it, people that use Transantiago will protest a lot against it. Another problem it has it’s that people who travel long distances have to make a lot of changes through their daily routes and that’s very annoying for them.

My favourite country ....

Spain is my favorite country in the world; I’ve wanted to visit it since I was a very little girl when my grandmother told me that we had Spanish roots. But, some years after my grandmother spoke to me, I watched on a TV show some parties that Spain has and I loved one especially that that takes place in August. It is called the Tomatina.
This is a harmless war that takes place in Buñol, Valencia. This party began 60 years ago. This party/war has only two rules, the first one is that before you throw a tomato, the only weapon you are provided with, you have to squash it, and the second rule is that you have to wear white clothes to go to the party. This last rule is because the goal is to, have fun obviously, and turn all your clothes red with the tomatoes juice.
Another place of Spain I want to visits is Barcelona, because of all the beautiful buildings that this city has. The Sagrada Familia church, the Agbar tower, and the amazing park Güel, with all its sculptures and views.
Finally, something you can’t forget is to visit la Rioja, the vineyard region of Spain. Some people say that their wines are fantastic, other say that Chilean wines are the best, but I think that everyone has to make their own opinions, so definitely I will visit it someday when I travel to Spain.

My 3rd semester in university....

The best class I have last term was psicopatología, this subject was about mind pathologies, we have class in university and in the psychiatric hospital, and those ones were the best of all. There we saw patients, psychiatric patients that have control that day, their stories were fascinating. My other subjects were Theory and systems, Statistics, Developing psychology, Social psychology, neuropsychology, entertaining dance, English and salsa, but the last one was not a curricular one.

Statistics was the worst, I get bored every class I reach the classroom, and when I achieve that, begin the fight with the lethargy the teacher’s voice produced. Besides that, we have assistant classes after lunch on Fridays!!! So it was very hard to get into those assistances. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have entertaining dance with Kika, Jo, Vale, Su, Ivonne, Paloma, Juby and Tamar. There I get a lot of fun first of all because I were with y best university friends, other reason is that I like practice sports but what I really love is dancing, so I really enjoy those classes. Other dance classes I’ve take was salsa, where we dance casino salsa, that’s a kind of salsa that is danced in group. Salsa is the kind of dance I most love, I’ve practice it intermittent since I have 15 years old.

Luckily I`ve passed all my subjects, it was difficult but here I am in my 4^th semester undefeated. My goal for this semester is to pass all my subjects without making the exams, I hope this dream came true…. Bye !!!!

Your idal job

My ideal job is one that has flextime so I can do other thins appart from work. Never ever in a office, everywhere else but in a close place. I would love to work in something that involves psichology, music and dance, because I love dancing and body expressions. And of course with lots of vacations, but that's not necessary at the biggining, I would like a job like that when I became a momo so I can spent vacations with them.

I think that the only qualities you need for any job is to be persistent, enthusiastic and above everything to love waht you are doing. The most important thing in life is to enjoy the proyects where you are involve, if this doesnt happen, you will never improove yourself.

But the job that I want to get is a dreamy job, but nor impossinle so I would make all my effort to get one like that. If I didn't get it, I will made it .

best wishes

Ken Robinson says education kills creativity

Ken Robinson quote to Picasso "all children born artist, the problem is to remain an artist" this words said years and years ago explain what Ken Robinson set out in his monologue.
Ken said that schools are estructurating childrens minds to a future that nowbody knows how it would be, so they are decreasing child capacities to adaptate to the environment that they will have to live. School and modern society valorate more hard ciences rather than arts or social ciences. School programs are more interested in teaching maths or chemistry rather than music or dance, sunjets that are very usefull to increase creativity or selfknowledge.
Nowadays all schools are promoting to study some university degree, showing it like the only way to succed in life, but studies shows us that some years from know there will be no people taht doesnt have a university degree.

My favourite subject

My fovourite subject is Psicopatología and the professors are Rossi and Alvarado. Rossi is a psychologist that studied in this university, his role in the course is to teach all the theory, this means that he teach us all about psychiatric desorders, all the things that we can find in books plus some examples about his experience like psychologist. Alvarado is the main proferssor of the class, he is a psychiatrist, his role is to teach us the practice of the things that we learned in class, he works in the psychiatric area of Salvador's Hospital so we take his classes in the hospital. There we saw medicall interviews to people with mental illnes. This is very intersting because its not in a mirror room(this is a room that one in one wall of it has a window. From one side of it, patient side, has a mirror and the other side, students, is a common window, so patient cant see us but we can see him), like ussually, its in a ordinary room so the patient see us, they can talk and ask questions to us.

This kind of teaching is very useful to us because we can saw how can we make an interview and how can we defferentiate between one mental dissorder an another.

In five years from now I would love to be travelling around the world, one of my dreams is to finish university, work some months to sve some money and travel trough europe, specialy spain and go to the tomatoe war that they made during summer. Professionaly I dont want to be stablished yet because i want to be free some time to do all my projects, nos shedule or duties, just live my life at my own rythm.
I don't know where I wolud be living, certainly not in only one place, the world will be my home fos some time. I will live in my tent, and my notebook will be the only connection with my famly and friends.
But this travel will end some time, and another dream will start when this journey ends, the dream to became a mother, i doesnt mattter if I dont have someone beside me like a husband or boyfriend, I hope in one near future, women and men will be able to adoppt without the actual needs, and I will adopt some kid an give him all the lovr that I can, providing him a very happy family that eill love him as much as his /hers real familiy.
