My favourite subject

I think my favourite subject this year is philosophy. Jorge Fernandez is our teacher and he’s really funny. Maybe this is one of the most important reasons why I like this topic.
I like it also because of a trouble I’ve been having with the career. I don’t like the undefined mixed of stuff. I know all subjects have something subjective, but when it makes you troubles when you are in some class, such as, “but I don’t think it is true” and it is Ok, because is someone’s opinion, it gets kind of annoying when it starts making the class longer in time. In this area, we all know that it cannot be objective, it is all based in someone’s opinion, and so, we are already on that trouble.
We have learned about Descartes at first, then a little about Locke and now about Immanuel Kant and his Metaphysics of Morals. It's all quite interesting! Even when I wished to know about this guys with difficult pronunciation names.

Do Schools kill Creativity

Since we are little kids is possible to see how our creativity gets only where our teachers or the society where we are born in needs it.
The kids are who has the biggest imagination ever. We can see that when they are playing. Also, somebody once said “We can see the most serious person in a kid when he is playing”. But, when we are in school, there are a lot of things we are not permitted to do, we can only play sometimes, and we end converted in some kind of machines prepared to work. Because, that’s the life we will live. We have to work to live and in that are in what we will spend all our adulthood.
And that’s how school kills creativity.
Anyway, school is not the worst things it looks like. It can be consider something good. It teaches us things that will help us to fit in the society and can help to satiate our anxiety of knowing.

My future


I think in five years from now I'll still be studying something. I really wish I shouldn't have to do this, but well, I have to and anyway I hope everything works as I want, finishing medicine.
In five years I think I'll still living in my parents house with them and their support but of course I'll be looking for some place for living alone.
My ideal future is related to armony. I wish been a good psychiatrist and get a quiet place to live, I don't know, I guess in barrio Bellavista, Bellas Artes, Providencia or something, if I stay in Santiago, because, if I can go to Valparaiso, I'll definatly will. Have a child and have enough time to spend with her and to travel a lot for seeing bands as The Mars Volta wish I've promese to myself are other plans for my future.
I've always said that I won't die until I go to another The Mars Volta's gig and see them play Cassandra Gemini, a 32 minutes song of them wich is my favourite.
And I guess is that.
Of course that as a girl, I would like to have a husband and all that but is not priority.

The best in my area.

Jane Goodall is a british ethologist, antrophologist and primatologist woman who has spend forty five years of her life studying chimpanzee behaviour in Tanzania.
I like her because of her humility and determination of doing big things, as going to the Africa with a friend and having to work very hard as a waitress for paying this trip. I have always admire people who fight for what they want.
I think this is what makes her the best, the power she has to do what she likes. The way she goes from a deep place, in a modest family, to a high one as an ethologist who has show awesome results of her studies.

My career.

I never thought studying psychology. But that was until I was in the twelfth grade. I always wanted to be a doctor or something related to biology, actually. But, the past year, it all changed when I started talking to my psychology and philosophy teacher, Claudia, out of the lessons. This time was when I started admiring her. I really think she is an awesome woman, and it inspired me for what I'm doing now.
The best thing about it... I think is its complexity; it has a lot of areas we can know deeper and which are very interesting.
The worst thing until know has been the lots of books we have to read. They are not all of our likes and this makes you feel uncomfortable, but anyway, that is just one class we will pass in one semester (If we are optimistic).
My career expectations... they are having a relaxing job. A job where I could control my schedule and where I will have enough time to expend with my family. And I think that's all.
I want to study something else when I finish anyway.

My favourite photograph.




This photograph was taken on my vacations with my family on Concón. The story is the thing I like the most.

I took this photo the day we decided to go to Valparaíso. In the morning I was suposed to go buying breakfast, so I go down with Goliath very quickly, at 10AM I guess, and when we where on our way back, I noticed this flower. And it was weird because I went down for the same way I was passing by this time!. So, I realized that that flower showed up just at certain hours. At ten at the morning is was just a little cocoon. It was like it was hidden and waited until we had the time to see its beauty.

The nice thing was that I took the picture after we aet our breakfast, when we were waiting for the bus that will take us to Valparaiso, with mommy and daddy and my sis.

So, this is why i like it. Is a combination of emotions of my family, Concón and Valparaiso, and also, the colours I think are awesome.

My most precious possession.



















Music has been really meaninful all my life.
When I was little, my brother was suposed to take care of me when mommy and daddy go out. So, he gived me my milk, and we stayed watching TV until they got home. We watched MTV a lot! and there was when I start listening to music; my brothers music. What a copycat! But it was because of the habit of hearing it all the time! Anyway, the time go through, and I started to get contact with more people, and knowing more groups, or bands, or singers, so my brothers music stoped being my favourite and y started liking my own, so, after this i could say "I like this kind of music" and that is how I meet more people! And that is how I meet my ex boyfriend!... He was a drummer and he also loved music. He show me a lot of new bands and I know that he is the only one who enjoys music the way that I do; of some inexplicable way that only we can understand. We just love it. Well, one day, when we were just friends, like now, he told me: "You have to hear this! You will love it! If you liked Pink Moon by Nick Drake you definatly have to hear this!" It was "Alas, I Cannot Swim!" by Laura Marling. This album has become my favourite of all time. I have listened hundred times and never bores me.
It is too bloody meaningful for me. It has something of my ex boyfriend who is very very important for me, even now that we are just friends. And also, has something of my other friend who give it too me as a gift, and who is someone that marked a really good time in my life. And... I was forgotten a little thing wich is very important too; the package of the LP, now is full of dry flowers that Nacho got for me when he was in Valle del Elqui! It is full of all things I appreciate.
When I hear Alas, is like everything becomes quiet (and that is just because of the music). When I stop to put ear to the lyrics, it is something that makes it even better!.
The last song, is my anthem.

This is my favourite possession. It has some of the most important things for me. Is like my all world but tiny. It is feeling. For me this record is life.
