In the Future, I hope to he relaxed. I will probably go to Brazil, so I plan to dump all the stress of the university year

English Language Challenges

Hello everyone!! This is the last post of this semester (:c) and today I'm going to write about English Language Challenges.

I really like english, I think that is a nice language and I see it like a very useful tool. In Dentistry, usually most of the important  information is written in English, and this is one of the biggest reasons because I want to continue studying English. I think that is a personal and professional very important tool, and I like having English classes at the University. I had English 2 and 3, and I think I had two very good teachers, concerned about the learning of their students and with good activities to develop in the classes. I like the use of blogs because I think it meets three important objectives: practice to write in English, practice to read in English, and know a little more to my classmates and teacher.

I think that I need to improve the oral part of the English. It’s very difficult for me to speak in English fluently, but understanding to someone that speaks in English or read or write in English is a little easier for me. I think that I can improve this problem just with practice. Sometimes, I speak in English with my boyfriend (that is in English 4 too now, in other course) and it’s easier to me to speak fluently because I’m more relaxed. When a teacher asked something to me, usually I felt a bit nervous and I had trouble expressing myself.

Sometimes, I’m alone in my house and I started to say all that I’m doing in English, or I ask to me things and then I answer.

I like watching series in English too, I learn a lot of new words of this way.

And that’s it, thanks for this semester of learning and goodbye :)

Changes to my Faculty

Hello everyone!! Today I'm going to write about the changes that would make to my career, Dentistry at Universidad de Chile.
First, about the workload and length of studies, I think that the career of Dentistry should last 7 years, because with de new curriculum we have subjects that condense a lot of matter of different areas into a single topic. Okay, it's good the idea of being able to integrate the matter from the beginning, but a lot of topics we see very superficially, and then the teachers ask us about things that ''we should know'' but they never told us. Before, there was a complete subject for each of the 5 or 6 topics we have on a single subject or "UTE", and they viewed the content of each in depth, but the curriculum had other problems. So, I think that if the career lasted 7 years, we could address all issues in depth and the academic burden would diminish.
Second, about the faculty facilities, I think it would be good to repair the facilities of the preclinicals, since that is where we have our first approach with the simulation of what it means to attend a patient. and we have many things in poor condition that make this difficult. like the lights, some hoses, the false heads and others.
Third, about the upper courses that have clinical practices, and what awaits us from next year, I have heard that there are some problems of disorganization, and besides, a problem that is necessary to correct in multiple faculties of dentistry is that many students fail subjects and are delayed a full year because they depend on the commitment of the patients, something that comes out of their control.
I hope that one day this problems end.

My favorite series and movies

Hi everyone!! Today I'm going to write about my favorite series and movies. I really like watching movies and series, in the summer I usually watch more than one movie per day, and I start and finish the longest series that I can't see in class time. I think that my favorite serie of all times is Breaking Bad, I love the way it’s made, how they took care of all the details, the main character’s ingenuity to manipulate the people around him and turn situations in his favor. I love the series or movies that have unexpected twists, I think that this what most hooks me. An example of this is Stranger Things, a series that I really like too.

Other series that I really like is How I meet your mother, I finished it a few weeks ago and I felt empty when I did. I like it because it’s a very funny series, and left me little messages for my life.

In some point of my life I saw anime too, and in opposition to what I believed, the series that I saw are really good. I saw Shingeki No Kyojin, and I really like the mysteries and surprises that the series offers you. I saw too Parasyte, Mirai Nikki and others very interesting.

About movies, I like Her, Back to the future (a classic of classics), Avatar, Slumdog Millionaire, Wall-e, and others in the same line.

I like series and movies that make me cry, laugh and feel y emotion of each scene.

Thank u for reading! :)

Summer holidays

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to write about my summer holidays. This year I’m so excited about my vacations, because I will go to Brazil with my parents to visit my aunt and my cousin a couple of days, who live in the south of the country, and to know Porto Alegre and other parts of Brazil the rest of the time. I’m excited because I’ve never left the country by plane and I love the feeling of flying. I really like the idea of travel with my parents, because in the day of day I don’t see them much. Among our plans are to visit the beach to know the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, go eat at a pizza free-fork of thousands of flavors, including chocolate, pineapple and strange flavors. Also, I want to go out with my cousin to dance and to walk and know what activities Brazil has at night.

Besides, apart from my trip to Brazil, the rest of vacations I want to rest, to sleep a lot, to go out with my boyfriend, to go to Algarrobo or other place with my friends a couple of days, and go to voluntary works of Dentistry. Also, I want to see my friends that I haven’t seen for some time, because since we all went to the University, our free days never coincide to get together and I really miss them. How I long my vacations!!!

The feminist movement

Hi everyone! Today I will write about the feminist movement, very talked about topic lately. And why? Because It was and is absolutely necessary to talk about this topic.
Day by day we can see how small and big acts of maleness are present in our daily lives. From terrible murders, to discrimination and teasing among children, who are only repeating learned behaviors. Bad habits learned. Why does a child mock a girl for playing football? Why are there designated activities for boys and others for girls? Do we have different capacities? No, we are all equal, and playing should not be limited by the sexist roles imposed by society. This is only a small sample of the many ways in which machismo affects our society, and is one of the mildest. For this and much more is that we must defend our rights and include men in this struggle and this paradigm change. It is time to eradicate all the small and great actions that make us invisible as women, they humiliate us, they attack us, they violate us, they kill us...

That is why the campaign #Niunamenos seems a good start to raise awareness of the majority of the population, because although the fight for women's rights is very old, today seems to be the first time the subject is spoken so massively, and finally we notice many facts that have been normalized in our day to day and that unfortunately, they hurt us. For this reason, #Niunamenos.

Postgraduate studies

Hi everyone!

Today I will write about my future studies. A postgraduate course that I would like to study is something related with Public Health to learn how to fix the factors of inequity or others that are the real causes of the diseases, and not only "to cover teeth", because that's just treating the consequences of the diseases. I really like the practical part of my career, although I sometimes suffer studying and working, I like to examine people, do restorations and all that, but I just feel like I'm not solving the root of the problem. This postgraduate study I would like to do in other country, like France, place where the father of Dentistry was born and lived, and because I love that country, the Eiffel Tower, the architecture and I would like to know the culture of the people from France. Also, I would like to live in that country a couple of years while I study and then after I finish.I would like to study subjects related with the human behavior, or something related with Psychology, that was my other option when I chose to study Dentistry. I want to understand how much the Social Determinants affect people’s health, that is, the level of education, the socioeconomic level and the conditions of life in the developing of diseases, and have tools to try to correct them.
