What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university? Well, the truth is that I never had a good base in English at school and that handicap me a lot in the future. It was not a priority for me to understand the language, because I did not even like it. Now that I am a little older, I realize that it is too important in life, because is the universal language, obvious. In the university get into English 2 and the truth is that I did not learn much, then in English 3, well, there I learned more with Professor Victor Rubio, but now I do not think I've learned much in english 4, maybe it's because I have many subjects (8) that I can not learn much about each one. With respect to all the blogs we do, I do not know if you learn a lot in these writings, maybe I consider it because I never learned much of English, with luck I know it means "hi, how are you?". I think that a good methodology to learn English, first is to do classes in a time that...

In the career so far there are many subjects that I like very much, however, I think that the first two years are too general plan subjects so do not take much advantage. Now in my third year there are subjects that I think have much more relevance in the race and that's why they are more to my taste, although obviously there is a bouquet that I do not like very much and that's why I find it more difficult to study it. I think a change that could be made in the curriculum of the race is to modify the general plan, where it should be shortened more and put more specific issues of the race from long before (second year for example)  The academic load in the career is too much and I think it's not good because you do not have real learning, it's just a short-term learning so it's not beneficial and it only causes you more stress.That would be another thing that would change, in weeks of tests A1 and A2, eliminate all kinds of other evaluations as controls, so tha...

What is your opinion about women in the military? I believe that women are empowering themselves in all areas and increasingly struggle to achieve gender equality in work, education, salaries, etc. In the case of military school, it seems excellent that women can enter (obviously, if they wish and are not forced) and that this is not frowned upon by people with negative comments, they are called masculine or synonyms that can diminish the self-esteem of women only because they have another vision of life. What is your opinion about climate change? I think that people do not take the real weight of climate change and the consequences that it brings. People are unconscious at least in Chile. There is no education about recycling or avoiding plastic, people continue to pollute the beaches and the animals of the sea are still extinguished by the damage we produce, the fish eat the garbage and die, the tortures are trapped in the nets by long periods and the garbage is trapped in the ...

  Since I was little I always liked the animated cartoons, now at my almost 21 years old I still like the cartoons and I assume that when I am forty I will continue to like the animated cartoons, as simple as that jajja                            From small my favorite cartoons were, the super powerful girls, thomas the locomotive, jay jay the airplane and a little bigger, I liked conan, the zodiac knights, the super campions, avatar and so on. I think I saw all the possible caricatures jajajja. Today I'm still seeing cartoons, the truth is that whenever I find Conan on TV I still see it and I like to see Avatar by Netflix with my boyfriend (we are nerd) hahaha.       I also like a lot of cartoons that came out a few years ago called "gravity falls" which is about twin brothers who always have adventures in a mysterious town away from the city with his uncle. With my family I do not see mu...

I Think about a job in the future I think it is very hasty, the truth is that I do not know what I would like to work in the future, I still have no notion of that. I like traveling a lot but the truth is, I like to travel on vacations, I do not like the idea of traveling for work, so I definitively exclude any work that has to do with very far trips. In the present I am studying chemistry and pharmacy, the truth at first I thought it was not for this career because I did not like any subject, now I have many pharmacological subject and I like that so I am glad to have continued with the career. Chemistry and pharmacy has many areas to work but one of my favorite is clinical pharmacy and pharmacovigilance that are very interesting and would have much to offer as a professional. There are very administrative jobs and I really do not like them, I'm dying if I end up in an office signing and stamping papers. I also do not like the idea of working in a private pharmacy, however I k...

In the future when I finished my career I think that I will continue studying for specialize because I think that one must have more knowledge of an area, that must be the area one wants to work. Also one should always continue to study and constantly being updated with new knowledge. In my case would have to update me with chemistry, medicines, diseases and better methods for the drug to act  I would like  in the future to be able to study a course to master degree but in the care area  not in Industry because I think that industry area is very boring and routine. Usually this course is a program that last approx two year.  Also I would like continue my study with a course  to Ph. D degree in Pharmacology for to be able to carry out research and obtain new discoveries in an innovative and creative way through the development of projects of scientific-technological research. The truth is that I still can not be sure what I want to do when I finish my...

          The nanoparticles are being very useful in the formulation of drugs since they can imitate or modify biological processes and can provide solutions to old problems associated with the solubility, bioavailability, immunocompatibility and cytotoxicity of many traditional medicines. Carbon nanotubes are an example of nanoparticles and nanotechnology, because they have a very small diameter and can be manipulated chemically and physically. In addition, they are used in nanomedicine, principally as support supports and excipients to obtain different drug delivery systems. The administration and formulations of drugs have been revolutionized with the arrival in science of nanotechnologies. The use of nanoparticles in nanomedicine covers the use of these as supports or templates through the functionalization or encapsulation of drugs.            With the use of nanoformulations, a large number of drugs have improved their t...

CALUGA AND GASPI In my home in addition to my human family also lives my dog family. My pets are called Caluga Patricia and Gaspar Esteban jiji They have the name of humans, I know, but that's how they were named, it makes me laugh a lot. Caluga is female and was collected on the street, there is no bitch more tender and cute, is a black dog with brown eyes, on the other hand, this Gaspar which is a poodle toy very moody with white fur and curlers. My dogs always, always, always want to play, not matter the place or hour but also always want to eat, they are like children for my family.  In the summer in holidays I and my family always we go outside Santiago to another city or town or beach but always we travel with my pets. Some people do not like it, is for this we travel to place with few people or where they accept pets. In general my family does everything with my pets, we go to the hills with them and everywhere where they can walk, but when we can not take them,...

Really I don't now which are my best holidays because I like all. Always I travel with my family or with my boyfriend or with the two jaja but for me the place I like the most is  Huasco , a little village very cute in the north of Chile rich in trees that give olive. Huasco is 9 hours from Santiago in bus and have many beaches around. Is my place favorite because my grandparents lived there and I go every year on holidays for at least a few days even though they have already died. My family is very big and we always meet at my grandparents' house in "Huasco Bajo" other village but smaller with a few houses. This place have all my infancy, where I played with cousins in the big yard of my grandparents or in the square or in the river. Other place I like is the south of Chile because is very green all, full of flowers, trees, lakes but specially "Pucon" and its surroundings  like "Villarrica". There are many places touristic like ...

If had the opportunity I would go to any place of word I not thinks twice I would go to visit Tailandia! speciality Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi Leh island because is a place really beautiful. Tailandia have a architecture very attractive for my because is very different to what I see every days in my country like buildings, houses, landscapes, bridge. Tailandia is a country which is caracterized by its  temples The spirituality of Buddhism is represented by almost the entire country. 94.6% of Thais follow this doctrine. Bangkok It is the capital of Thailand and an important city and well known to the world. In this city we can find many palaces and a great movement of people, personally I would like to know "grand palace", since it is one of the main tourist attractions, to walk through the streets and see the architecture of the houses and, of course, learn this wonderful culture                         ...

 The truth is that I am not familiar with any drug of hard abuse but I have drunk coffee a few times to be more active during periods of test since they are weeks of too much mental and physical exhaustion, also during my life once I am operated of appendicitis then I had to be anesthetized, but the truth is I do not know which one they used. I have epilepsy and often my head and migraine headache so acute that I have to inject Profenil or some analgesic into the vein, for me, it is fortunate that my mother is a nurse assistant technician because that way I can attend without having to go to the clinic. in conclusion with the drugs that I am familiar are my antiepileptic medicines. Well, the truth is that I do not drink or smoke so I have not been under its effects. Many people are addict to different things that not necessary are drug of abuse but are equally bad like chocoholic, shopaholic, workaholic etc because nothing in excess is good The Drugs of abuse provide m...

The truth if I was not studying chemistry and pharmacy I would love to be a make up artist, I love make up to people and myself when I have time. I imagine it is a world very hard to get a good job, I love the artistic makeup and how this they can transform people, I find it an incredible job. I imagine that I should travel to countries where they make films with special effects and exotic costumes where you have to use the characteristic makeup of each character since in Chile not films are made as well. Regarding the salary I have no idea how much they win, so I could not comment.                   I am currently studying chemistry and pharmacy and I still do not decide what area of my career I want to work in the future but I really like all areas such as clinical area, care area, cosmetic area, research area less industry and work in a pharmacy since I find them very boring and rutinare, I hope never I work in one of theys. I wou...

The truth I find it difficult to decide which my hobbies are but i think one of them is I paint but with acrylic, because every time i do it brings me a lot of peace and relaxation. I love to paint landscapes or plants especially flowers. The flowers it are my favorite because are full of vivid colors and different textures, each with its characteristic petals and colours. My parents gave me many things to paint like wax or stick or tempera pencils so from a very young age I liked to paint, I always went everywhere with my notebook with white sheets and colored pencils, I hated to lose the colored pencils so I marked them with my name always. I think I would never have to exercise because I am very lazy and I get tired a lot but my boyfriend loves to exercise so sometimes I accompany him but only a few times I would like in the future to have a "hobby" like travel, because I find it very entertaining and learn about many cultures from different places in the world but...

The blood is pumped through the heart and is surprising to me because it is connected to our entire body because it flows throughout our body carrying thousands of substances essential for our body as nutrients and oxygen through capillaries, veins or arteries. In addition to possess cells responsible for the immune response. The blood has 2 phases, in the upper phase are the plasma in the lower phase are the platelet, leucositos and erythrocytes. The upper phase will be more yellowish or milky in color because the plasma is made up of water, nutrients gases and proteins, the protein that is found in greater quantity is the albumin which is synthesized in the liver. The lower phase is red because most of them are red blood cells that are transiting oxygen, there are also white blood cells responsible for the immune response and platelets in charge of repairing a blood vessel. Blood diseases can basically affect cellular elements such as erythrocytes and platelet leukocytes, ...

If had the opportunity I would go to any place of word I not thinks twice I would go to visit Russia! speciality Moscow because is a place really beautiful. Moscow have a architecture very attractive for my because is very different to what I see every days in my country like buildings, houses, landscapes, bridge. In Moscow the architectural styles range from Renaissance to baroque buildings and modern architecture. A place that I visit in Moscow is Kremlin, the fortress of the tsars, in it are several palaces like the great palace too would visit the red square, the Saint basil's Cathedral and of course the seven sisters which are the seven skyscrapers that exist in Moscow.                                                    Saint basil's Cathedral                     Kremlin       ...

Hello people in this opportunity, I will talk about of my favourite trip. Is a very interesting topic for me, because I love travel and is for this I have a hard time deciding a place. I've been in many places in my life, that they have amazed me, as Brazil, Argentina and places into Chile as Antofagasta, Chiloe, Puerto Montt, Pucon, etc. But without doubt mi best travel was in the last vacation of summer, because I was with the best company, my boyfriend. Maybe It sound cheesy, nevertheless the travels are enjoyed more with good company.  Me and my boyfriend went to Viña del mar, Antofagasta and Huasco. But it was on this last trip where we had the best moments. I had already gone to that place, in fact every summer I travel because in this place my mom lived when she was a girl with her family. This is why it is a very special place for me and travel with my boyfriend there made it more special. We share many moments in family, we learned new things from each other and...

I think it is a very good activity to practice writing in English but with the time doing the blogs, I've found it a bit repetitive and that is a bit boring but in general it is a very good way to learn new words and generate a text with coherence. To be honest the English is the most difficult subject in my student life and this year I learned many things and words that I did not know before, maybe I'm not the best student in the class, but I think I've improved in my writing and maybe my oral communication. In a future I believe that in the English program they should add another form of evaluation besides the blog during the semester to make learning more dynamic and true. In the event that I had to write another blog I would like to talk about my parents or about the people who raise us like grandparents, uncles or just your mother or father. Why? Because I feel that it is they who have educated us to be better and grow as a person and that is the mo...

Physiology is a theoretical subject and also practical because in the main lecture hall the teacher teaches us with images and information in a projector, we have seminars and also practical works where we carry out what we have learned. Although we don't really have many practical works I wish they would have more, they are very fun. I can't go the class of Physiology that's why my friends record the classes and they send them to me, so I can study. I don't like teachers who speak very slowly and the Physiology teacher speaks very slowly but her class is very interesting so I can't stop being interested in that. For me knowing how your body works  is essential. The only thing from the Physiology class I would change is the voice of the teacher Jenny , because her voice is very LOW and pacific. I don't like that because it makes me sleepy, only that essentially. My favorite aspect of this course is to know how neurons work, the different types, why the...

Antoine Lavoisier was born on August 26, 1743 in Paris, France. He came from a wealthy family, studied at Collège Mazarino, graduated in Law and later studied Astronomy, Natural History and Chemistry. In 1771 he married the scientist Marie Paulze who was his collaborator, in addition to translating into English the articles written by his husband. Lavoisier is considered the father of modern chemistry, he showed that in a reaction, the amount of matter is always the same in the begin and in the end of the reaction. In consequence it gives to know the law of the conservation of the matter. Other contributions to science were the writing in 1787 the Method of chemical nomenclature, the caloric theory and the combustion, and its studies on the photosynthesis and the oxidation of the bodies. It is very important for me because I believe that the chemistry would not have transcended or reached where it is if not for all its discoveries, research and contributions. Without the...
