Quien lo iba a Pensar, Finalmente las Clases de Inglés Resultaron Divertidas

Particularly, I think I could finish so great my experience with English at university (but still must take the exam), why do I say this? Well, I think that the classes were very dynamic and motivating, in fact, I have a little percentage of absents, and that does not usually happen to me in English, I always felt it was rather a waste of time sitting be somewhere doing things that were really boring. However, with the teacher Beatriz, this was a very pleasant experience. I must be honest, and when I was in the class for the first time, I thought, "ok, this teacher will kill us ", however, and to my surprise, the teacher became the best English teacher I had in my university experience with English. Regarding some negative and good aspects, I am of those who prefer to work alone, I do not like teamwork or less be doing dynamic binding with a partner in class, but hey, that's my problem, and this time, always classes were fun, and sincere way, I think I learned a lot. Thinking about my strengths and weaknesses, I think I have a good command of the language at scientific level, reading a lot in English has made me acquire technical skills in the area I chose, as in the case of neuroscience, however, still have to learn a lot of vocabulary, and of course, understand the grammatical laws, because they always been my torture. Well, finally I can only say, thanks teacher for his cool curse, no doubt it is been a great experience. Cheers !

How anxiety scrambles your brain and makes it hard to learn

"How anxiety scrambles your brain and makes it hard to learn"

The Guardian, Neuroscience- Saturday 21 November

Link: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/nov/21/how-anxiety-scrambles-your-brain-and-makes-it-hard-to-learn

This article makes a very general review of anxiety, specifically those students who suffer from anxiety and have difficulty carrying out their daily work and affected their academic performance. While the article mentions some brain areas that are involved in the expression of anxiety in our body, such as the amygdale and the prefrontal cortex, a thorough review of these aspects is not done because it is not the objective of this article. A list of 10 tips that can help eager students, so that is not so difficult to do their work studies and can continue to have a normal life

I chose this article for two reasons primarily. First, I am an anxious person by nature, for many years I had to fight anxiety and treat thousands of tricks to reduce my anxiety in situations that do not help me. Being an anxious person has a number of circumstances in which we do not feel comfortable, and we would be in our room without anyone bothering us, however, as they say: "The world is outside," so it is necessary to face anxiety and not give up. Second, the neurosciences are my passion, and I know I'll have a career in this area, it is why i like this article, and I think from a scientific perspective, all the tips mentioned can be used at any given time. 

Well, i hope that if any of you should also struggle with anxiety every, maybe you cn take these tips and feel it better. 

Cheers !!

Hi everybody! I´m going to talk about some interested reading at the moment. To be honest, I prefer to do another thinks before to read. It´s not about “no knowledge”, but it´s so difficult to me spend time on reading. I´m always doing something else and I don’t feel how the time flies. However, now I´m reading a lot of pappers for the university.  Everyone is very interesting because this semester every student can choose the class and obviously, I choose some of them in relation with my personal interest. At the moment, my favorite is ”Para una formación sistémica en clínica”. This book is a compilation of little articles of deferent authors who white about the systemic theories on clinical psychology, to do therapy.  The basic principle is “everybody is building ourselves on the relationships with someone else and on that relation is where we must to work” I really enjoy that because that changes a lot of things in the therapeutic process, because is usual that the thought be “the problem is in each person who feels bad or different “. When that thought invade the therapy process, a lot of things are out on the analysis, because the majority of the situations about saddles or distress are make up with more than one person. Specially in this book, there are a lot of “prescribes” to make a complete therapy, using deferent factors and tools with the relations that the patient have.

The Mysterious of Sleep Process

Now im not reading a specific book or paper, i usually read different papers, because i don't need a lot of time to read one, a big paper have mm maybe 60 pages, when is a review, but, today in science you can find papers with only 2 or 3 pages. If i need to speak about a specific genre, i always read neurosciences papers in general, sleep; memory and learning process are my favorite’s topics. For example, i enjoying read about the influence of sleep in memory consolidation. In this point, we need to understand the basic process of the brain. We have different dynamics in our brains where the influence of electrical activity and chemical interactions are the base for all process in a person, in the case of the electrical activity we can identify different waves, like beta, alpha, theta and delta, but in sleep, we can find a common activity denomination, the slow wave sleep (SWS) and REM sleep (Rapid eyed movements). For memory consolidation the researches from the past 5 years have a consensus (mmm maybe) about the influence of the SWS, because in this specific moment of the sleep, the hippocampus is working on consolidation. In other part, the influence of odors and the facilitation of odor stimulation for memory consolidation are so interesting too. This area of research is very exciting for me, and i hope dedicate my life for new discoveries in the area, maybe in the future we can find a solution for memory problems and increase the understanding of the sleep and every function in relation with that wonderful and mysterious process. 

What that F#@¬ With Our Future

Today I want to talk about the future, perhaps for many is stressful to think about what we will do when  finish college, or what then expects us to stop being a student, however, in my case, I think it's a very exciting time. I want to start working and to develop my work in science in a formal way, without having to spend time and obligations in other things, although this can happen throughout our lives, when we do what we like, the obligations don't generate stress and fatigue, on the contrary, allows us to enjoy what we do at all times.

For a couple of years ago I decided to dedicate my life, not just my career, to neuroscience, I think this area of ​​research is the future, and having the necessary knowledge, one day thanks to various discoveries will be possible not only help a group of people, if not, why not, to all mankind. I am ambitious about my goals, and whenever I think of my profession, I think of breaking the barriers of the known and revolutionize knowledge. In this context, I would say: we should not set limits to our imagination and creativity, if we look at the sky, we need to think that is not an unreachable place, just take us a little longer to touch it, but eventually, it just depends of us.

My English Class

I think i have a good performance in the different areas; however, i need to expand my vocabulary, because when i read something and i don't have the meaning in mi mind, i chose the wrong alternative. But, in general i don’t have a big difficulty’s to complete the different tests. In conclusion, yes, I need and I want to increase my performance in English. 

Verde como el bosque, Gris como el cielo

I need to be honest, I'm not a green person, maybe sometimes, or everyday, i do different s things in consequence with that point of view, like turn off the lights in my house when i organize my things to university of work for example, or when i do anything, that's the true. I hate when people use lamps in the day, or even when is a little dark, for me, lamps are necessary only when is dark (very dark). However, is not part of my daily be a "green person", but, i think the human being is a animal of habits, and in this case, i remember when i lived for three months in Spain this year, principal in Barcelona,  recycling is part of many persons in that city (mm well, general in Europe), and for this month’s i was convert me in a "green person", and was very easy, in many parts of the city you can find different s kinds of artifacts or special places to recycling everything. 

About if i support any Eco-organizations? no way, i don't believe in that kind of institutions, i prefer the union without name. In my situation, ohh almost forgot, i use my bike a lot (a lot), i hate (i not hate everything, is only for examples jaja), the public transport system, i never use it, now i live in Maipú, and many times i come to university in my bike, i love this feeling, the freedom. In this context, i think the people in Santiago need to use the bike, someone’s live very near of they works or university, and even in this case they use cars or bus, that is not good. Ok we need many work to do, but as Lennon said: "I´m a dreamer, but i´m not the only one". 

For me the education is the base of a society, in this context, the support from the government and political class is fundamental, however, for many people the education is a very good business, and politicians are not the exception. If we think about the education in our country, we can see many lacks, a lot of students need to work for pay a "good university", or even worst, many students can´t study in an university, in my perspective, this is unacceptable. The education can´t be an option, or an "opportunity", the education need to be a right for everyone without exception. When i see the people on the power in Chile, I think: "what’s going on here", many ignorant s in the same place, all the time they say things like: "we understand" "the educations need to be a right" "free education", but, what happen with the facts?, when is an election time, OK, every politicians says a lot of thing for the people, but well, is not they fall, is our fall for believe in that kind of xxx persons. But, is necessary say something, education is not the only problem, or the "wonderful solution", the quality and free education is only a part of the real problem, and what’s the real problem? Well, we can see many inequality's in all contexts in Chile, economy, education, health, culture, etc. and if we don't find a solution for every topic, well, the illusion of a better place to live, mmm still dreaming.   

  

"The Theory Of Everything"

Today I want to speak about one of my passions, in this context; I need to say a couple of things. When I was young, I usually play alone, but don't worry, I have a happy childhood (I think jaja), when I was in my yard (a big yard with a lot of trees and plants, if you imagine something now, no, no that kind of plants jaja) I enjoyed a lot, because in that place I was imagine everything, on the first days, I usually kill insects (OK that's bad, I know), but, with the past of the years, the relation between the nature and me it was strengthened, because of that, everyday I thought about the sense of the life, a lot of questions for a child in the middle of the nature, and that was the key. In other part, my grandfather has a very nice library, and I remember me reading Darwin, Newton, Galileo Galilei, Einstein, etc., maybe I don't understand what I read in this specific moment, but after a few years, the sense comes to me, I thought ¿what I want to study? I don't know if I have the answer immediately, but I knew something very clear: "I want to understand" what? Everything,  maybe is an ambitious though, yeah maybe, but when you live with that kind of perspective about the life and the universe, you enjoy in everywhere, because the context is not important, the context always can change, but the questions are there, in every moment, in everywhere. And....well, what is my passion? you don't know what it is yet? okay, is a simple word, but with a complex meaning: SCIENCE  

Drafting Table

I remember a lot of special presents and moments in my life, however, i always remember the day when my father gave me a drafting table, i love this present, because when i was young i spend a lot of time with a piece of paper and a pent, i feel great when I’m draw, maybe is like a therapy for me. We need money or a big quantity of time for some hobbies, but to draw, you just need imagination, a piece of paper, and like a say before, a pent, very cheap not? In this context, i think this present is very important because the art is part of my life too, when i was to school, i spend a lot of my free time with my father on his work, he works on antique furniture restoration and i love that, all the time i can saw different kinds of antiques, like very old furniture's, paintings, sculptures, etc. Maybe this drafting table gave me the reason to be a part of a restoration program in a cultural center in Ñuñoa, two years ago i give classes there, and this was a very nice and a new experience for me, because i have to show different techniques to make easier the learning to people older than me, and maybe sometimes we have fear in that kind of situations, you wait for comments like "is to young", but in the end, everything was be fine, i learn a lot of my talents and weakness too. ohh i almost forget, where is my present now? Well, in my room.

Al Seco !!!

In my opinion, a real Chilean, is a person who drinks, eats, and dances in everywhere in this dates, of course, this topic is relative, and maybe, for someone’s this is an extreme way to describe a Chilean behavior. In my case, i normally celebrate the independence of Chile like a real Chilean, but well, i need to say, when i write "celebrate the independence of Chile" for me is not a political o problematic concept of opinion, the importance for me is on the holidays and the excessive quantities of alcohol and food, i don't care the "political concept" in that case. In this context, this year i spend a lot of time with my family and friends, and this 18 of September was especial, because two friends from Germany came to my house to celebrate. For me, maybe this fiestas patrias was the best, because i did many things. If we speak about the typical activities like rayuela, mmm well, maybe i don't know a lot about that kind of games, and, i need to be honest, i prefer other kinds of games; maybe drink beer in ten seconds (i m not an alcoholic, i hope). And, okay, what i think of the Chilean rodeo? Well, what can i say, for me, the rodeo is an irrational activity, where the human kill animals without mercy (yes, they kill, is not a big different between Chilean rodeo and the rodeo in Spain), i can’t believe how in the 2015 we still support that kind of activities.

Recordando a los que ya no estan

What i feel when i see this picture? well, difficult to say,  many things happen in my mind when i think about September 11 of 1973. First, i think many rights was violated, and this is not a simple situation, for many people this date is the memory of murders, missing and torture, even 40 years after, all the pictures are clear in the mind of a lot of people in our country, i don't feel proud, i don't want to forget, and when i see the politicians in this days, i always think "all of them are piece of shit" sorry for the expression, but, i feel angry when a think about that, because when i believe in a politician, i don't need to wait for a long time to listen words like: corruption, stills, and a big etc. About how has the state of Chile dealt with the people responsible for these crimes? (before and now), well, what can i say? like many others things the state don't do nothing, what happen with Manuel Contreras? this demon die on a bed, is like a joke, unfortunately it isn't. In this context, a context of violence, how a feel about people building barricades on the road, fighting, etc? Maybe three years a go, i felt different emotions, but now in 2015, i think violence is necessary, and in this situation, i don't talk in about kids, you know? when i say "violence is necessary" i speak about a context where everyday in many different situation, people on the power violent us, and for that, sometimes we need to response in the same way. This is not outdated, and this date affect the life of young people ¿why? because everyday the TV shows put on camera only some scenes, and without a quality education this is not a only big problem for the country, is a big problem for the world. Is a obligation for everybody put the things on the table, we need to fight, but not with violence in our hands in this case, we need to fight in a intelligence way, with young people on the power, but, ¿how we can do this? well, maybe i don't have the answer now, but, maybe someday i go it. 

Traveling Without Moving (Jamiroquai)

When i think about a way to spent money, I’m always say: "the best way to spent cash, is for adventures and experiences for your life". In this context, i enjoy with simple things, like eat, drink, and speak with people, not only people in Chile off curse. For around two year, i was live with people for different countries, that was amazing, i learned different things about countries like France, Germany, Spain, India, Turkish, United States, Thailand, japan, Korea, Perú, Colombia, etc. That experience makes me feel happy, and the most important, makes me felt in a world with many things to discover. For that reason, this year, i was for three months in Spain, Barcelona, i have many friends there, and i loved every day with them. Now, about the questions:  Which country i would like to go? Well, the answer is very short: ALL, i want to know about many cultures, and if they are different between them, even better. i want to eat bizarre foods and drink wine, beer, juice, water, everything. Well, ok, I’m very happy with my plans, but, ¿what wrong with science?, i love science too, mm well, i hope to spend a lot of time in labs, but not all my life, and we need to understand: "the knowledge is in everywhere".
