Post 8: A SUBJECT YOU'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

 A SUBJECT YOU'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

This semester has been very different in terms of subject matter because it is my first semester in the electives. This has been great, because you can choose the courses that interest you the most. In this same sense, I think in the two courses that have stolen my attention. First, the course of Psychogerontology (Psychology of Old Age and Aging) taught by PhD Daniela Thumala. In this course they teach us all about the last stage of life, taking it not as a sunset, but as a time to enjoy, and also from a rights perspective, where the elderly are worthy of care and respect as any other person, and even more. The second course that I love is Strategies for intervention with and for the community. In this course taught by PhD Germán Rozas is a fruitful chair that teaches me not only theory, but also how to act before people. To the guys who have men’s time in the career, I recommend them a lot!

Post 6: CAREER-RELATED WEBSITE

CAREER-RELATED WEBSITE

I usually read little of my career on non-academic pages, mainly because I find it unreliable. However, some time ago I signed up for a page called psyencia (https://www.psyciencia.com) from which they constantly send me emails about interesting topics in the area.

While I do not read all the emails, I must say that the information they send is very interesting, because it is contingent, updated, and in general, very complete.

This is divided into two general sections. First there is the Psychology, where they review topics related to therapies (mainly) as well as other aspects of the area. Secondly, there is the Neurosciences menu, where topics are published in relation to the transversality of these two topics.

This page also has a section on opinion articles, where other authors write about topics relevant to the area, and finally, a section of resources where they provide free manuals, guides and videos.

I hope you can visit it, and be surprised by how much there is psychology there for everyone. Hugs!

Post 9: Some reflections

SOME REFLECTIONS...

Ok… my year has been a difficult time, but I’m thanksgiving for it. 

In this month's, I suffered a mourning: My grandpa died. This circumstance, although it was expected, was a great pain for my whole family. He was very old (98 years old) but he was the best grandpa I could have. Always we was together, and we love us so much.  I remember him with very much love.

It was also a difficult year because at this time my parents separated. This news always affects you, but I think it was the best. I still love them as always.

Academically, it has been a very rigorous year, with great demand. This last semester I had 7 courses, plus 1 assistant-ship and English course. That's kind of exhausting, but I love my career!

My love relationship went well; a week ago we completed 4 years together (how fast time passes!). I am very happy with him. Although many times we have problems, solving them together is always pleasant.

Even when my year was heavy, I'm glad for that, because I learned a lot. I hope 2019 is a great year, with more positive surprises than ever!

 

Post 7: My Favorite Music

My Favorite Music

Hi. This week I'll talk about the music that I like.

In music, I am a lover of different styles, and generally associated with different periods. In other stages of my life, my favorite styles have been Rock, Pop, Reggae and Celtic music; However, at present, the style of music is Folk and Rock. I like this style a lot because I feel in an atmosphere of peace that at the same time becomes dynamic, a kind of "background music" to walk through life. 

I started to hear Folk about 3 or 4 years ago, when I started to know certain bands thanks to my boyfriend, however, since 2012 I was approaching this style through new versions of songs (in acoustic, with sounds of Folk) that brought out singers that I liked then.

One of my favorite bands are Citizens and Saints (Americans), Rend Collective Experiment (Irish) and Papel Maché (Spanish).

I have never been to concerts properly Folk or Rock, mainly because the groups I like have not come to Chile, but I have gone to concerts of other styles, and I have loved.
