Post 7: HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Hello classmates today in this post I will tell you about how green I am. To begin with this topic, I'll tell you that I've known different practices and activities of this kind since my childhood. My mum and dad, most of the time, were worried about the energy and water consumption, and also they recollected different recycling materials, like soft drinks cans, plastic and bottles. So, I can say that I had the first learning about the environmentally friendly practices in my family. In other way, I think that in general people learn about this only in some classes at school or at university, because it's difficult that this knowledge can emerge from the family when in this country there isn’t an environment culture well developed.

Personally, I have incorporated recycling into my habits since I was a kid, but with active and passive periods in between the process. For example, in some periods, like in highschool, I participated actively in underwater cleaning projects; using only bike or my own legs as means of transport , and being worried about the energy and water consumption in my house. At the university period, I was responsible for the recycling commission of the “Toma” (the occupation of the Central House of our university) in the context of the student mobilizations. But today, it is a passive period for me regarding this topic… I only take care of the different energy consumptions in my house, I use the bus and subway instead of bike and I don't participate in other related activities . But I would really like to do more things related to the environmental caring, I hope in the future to join in some eco-organisations, if I find one that represents me. It is an important topic that is missing in our reality and society.

Hello classmates in this post I'm going to talk about how my Friday would be like without the English class in the afternoon. Different possibilities come to my mind.

As a first priority for example, I would take advantage of the extra time to travel to Puchuncaví to see my mum and friends, like a long weekend. Without the English class I would come out this day at 12 o'clock, so I would arrive relatively early there, but since usually we come out around six, I can’t get to take the last bus in destination to Puchuncaví.

As another option, my Friday would be a day of dance practice. Precisely this day in the evening I have the possibility of going to my bellydance academy to take free professional classes, so these hours would serve as technical preparation for it.

And as other possibilities, if I was too tired due to the academic load of all the week, Fridays would be days of rest and relaxation, either taking long naps, watching movies and documentaries, listening to music or playing music with my piano, or going out for a walk in the park too. In the other hand if I would feel with energy yet, I would take advantage of the extra time to advance with the assignments and studying for the next week.

Hello classmates, today in this post I will tell you about what I plan to do in the future related to my job.

In the first place I plan to work as a psychologist, because I like the major that I’m studying in this university (psychology obviously), actually I like it since the classes of this subject at school. Specifically in this area I would like to work as a clinical psychology therapist either attending children or teenagers, because I find this field very interesting and motivating for me, the fact of working with development stages since the first moment of life and with the complex processes of construction of the identity.

Secondly I would like to complement my job as psychologist working as a teacher of yoga and dance, specifically of belly dance or giving classes of contemporary dance too. These jobs as therapieutic practices through the body, but for people of all ages (not only to underages as in my work as psychologist). For these jobs, in this moment I'm currently studying belly dance in an academy at the same time of psychology major (I hope to finish both in the same year), and I have taken classes of yoga and contemporary dance in some semesters, but I’m thinking to continue studying this specialties in the future.    

I imagine my job of different forms, in a way as a typical clinical consulting room (indoors) but in other way I also imagine myself once in a while travelling to diverse places of the country (outdoors) in which I will develop workshops or classes either related to psychology or with dancing and yoga. 

What I think about the bomb (and the news)

Hello classmates, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the bomb that exploded last Monday inside of a subway station from the red line (L1), Escuela Militar. In the news it was mentioned that this incident happened around 2 o’clock in the afternoon, when many people were having lunch in a local fast-food restaurant just outside the subway's entrance, a 'Juan Maestro' in a place called Subcentro, which is some sort of shopping gallery. The Ministry of Interior has remarked that 14 people were injured as a result of the attack, although not all of them directly, because most of them were affected by acoustic trauma due to the noisy blast. According to the political opinion expressed in the media this event meets with all the characteristics of a terrorist act, linked to a previous attack made inside a train from the same subway system (L1) but in the station of Los Dominicos. The alleged similarities to this and other actions taken by anarchist groups in the past (for example, the bomb that Luciano Pitronello attempted to plant in a Santander Bank, and the very well known fraud that was the 'Caso Bombas' during the previous government) have resulted in a feast for the media, in which many of the TV channels of our country haven't hesitated to blame the anarchist movement (as a whole, without any question) for the bombing. Personally, I don't believe these mis-informations, not only because there is a whole history of news manipulation in this country (that always tend to favor the more conservative points of view, discriminating and criminalizing certain groups that go against the status quo defended by the economical powers), but more importantly, because there is not a single piece of evidence that supports the theories informed by the media, therefore the TV channels and newspapers are starting a witch-hunt through a self-fulfilled prophecy.
I hope that you could understand my point of view, and I would be happy to know what is your opinion on this issue. 

Post N°3 The best Holidays

Hello classmates I’ll tell you about one of my best holidays. 

I lived this experience in the first week of my last winter’s holidays in which I traveled to “Pichilemu” with my boyfriend. At first we had thought to stay only a couple days, but the weather was very complicated with a rain and wind that looked like a real storm, therefore we decided to stay one week in this place. 

The first days were very entertained: we watched a marathon of movies and cooked giant vegetarian pizzas. When the weather was improving, we spent most of the time walking on the beach, seeing the sunsets at the sea, contemplating the flora and fauna of the forests and the main lagoon (There were a lot of pretty black swans and ducks!) and visiting nearby places like “Punta de Lobos”. 
Finally the last days we practiced my favorite sport! Surf! It was a wonderful experience.

I really enjoyed this trip, because I loved to be in this place since the first time I visited it. Pichilemu is a very quiet city with beautiful places,  the sunsets are awesome, the nocturnal sky is very shiny with the stars, and the most important thing, this place has  the best waves to practice surf :)!

I hope that you visit this place someday. I recommend you practice surf! It is great!

Hello classmates! Today I chose to talk about the last movie that I saw: “The hunger games”. It is one of my favorite movies.  

This is a science fiction adventure film directed by Gary Rossis and it is based in a trilogy of books wrote by Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay)

The history be about of a post-apocalyptic future in a nation called Panem composted by twelve districts, where boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18 must take part in an obligatory annual event called Hunger Games in which they must to fight with one each others. The plot of this is demarcated in a process of revolution to change the tyrant system, where the protagonists are Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. I like this movie because the horrible conditions imposed in the monopoly system of districts look like a metaphor of the conditions of our reality, in which is necessary a process of confrontation and of changing so that all the people (in a real democracy) have a good equality of life in equal conditions.

Place that I'd like to visit

Hello classmates! I'll tell you about the place I would like to visit.

I would like to visit the country of Egypt, firstly because I love the belly dance and the music of this place, I think that these are beautiful and relaxing. Today I’m taking class of belly dance here in Santiago (Egyptian style), and I hope to travel someday to Egypt to continue with my professional formation in this kind of dance, specially related to the learning of the different elements as complement to bellydance, like the Isis Wings, Saggats, and Veil. Secondly I would like to visit this country because I think that the culture is very mystical and interesting, I want to know more about the different traditions, the History, the Egyptian art like paintings and sculptures, and also the pyramids! Of course!. I know Egypt's culture in general, but specifically there is very much knowledge about it that I need to learn yet. This culture has beautiful and complex metaphors and symbols too. 
I hope that you've liked this post, and I'm eager to know about the places you'd like to visit.
