Alcohol

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :). I know I said that  the last post it was going to be the last one, but I have this pending topic, so here goes the last post for real. Have you ever tried any drug of abuse? Why was it for? In this post I'm going to talk about alcohol, a drug of abuse that I have tried, which has its pros and cons, which effects in our brain and body have been and still being studied by Biochemistry, a drug that it is legal but that doesn't make it any less drug .   I have tried alcohol in celebrations with my family. My family uses to drink alcohol in special occasions and I have tried what they are drinking in those opportunities. I have liked the flavour of the other things that are accompanying alcohol, but I don´t like the flavour of alcohol, so I prefer to drink the same that they are drinking but without alcohol or, more currently, I prefer to drink juice. Talking about the advantages, one of the most supported benefits of alc

What challenges are left

Hello everyone! How are you doing? Welcome to the last post. Can you believe it? I can't. Considering this I'm going to talk about how was this English course for me. I wish you the best for this term ending and I hope we see us again. I have liked a lot learning English at university. I like that we have more opportunities to talk, listen and write English than that I had at school and even than the previous term. In this course we have had more opportunities to speak and it has been great because we can talk using characteristic expressions of situations that are out of our university context and exercise fluency. I think that I have improved in that way because of that. In classes we use to hear recorded dialogues and use them as example. I think this tool is very useful. We also use to hear our teacher making classes in English. I appreciate that he takes the time to solve all our doubts of vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar. Even though I would like that he

Changing ends

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.  Proverbs 28:13 New Living Translation  [source] Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :D. Are you in the middle of evaluations? Come on! I now you can do it ;). Talking about that, evauations are very important because they show you the things that you have to change or improve. When this year started I share with you some issues that I had to improve to continue at university. Well, as much as I need to be evaluated, the university needs it too. What about changing roles for a while? Let's check in what aspects does the university need to improve. In this post I'm going to focus on five aspects. You can assign a score to each of them according to your perception. Perception                     ----- Score Satisfied                        -----  1,2 Almost satified             -----  0,8 Rather dissatisfied        -----  0,4 Not satisfied at

Summer holidays

[source] Hello every one! I hope you are doing well. Here we go again, we have just talked about the best vacations we have ever had. Now let's talk about what are we planning about the summer holidays that are coming soon, or at least that are getting closer. Along all my life I have always been waiting for vacations to go out to know some new place or to places that we already know to share with my family. For the first time in my life, this summer isn't the case. I'm not that motivated to know a new place, instead I would like to look for a part time job or something like that to earn some money. I would use that money to participate of some activities during the following year so my parents don't have to pay for the expenses of those things.  Although, I would like to go out some place with my family anyway because it is good to share some relaxation time together. Maybe we could go to El Quisco to visit my cousins and spend some time with my grandmother,

Postgraduate studies?

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to travel far in the future, as I did in my previous post. We are going to talk about a course that you would like to take when you finish your major degree. When I heard this I said "What?! Are you crazy? How am I going to talk about what I am going to do after I graduate if I'm not even close to gradute yet?" Anyway, I will try to look beyond that I have in front of my eyes and tell you what I would like to do. I'm just joking. I do use to look at the future but I question myself about if it is going to be as I imagine it. I'll tell you about that later. [SOURCE] Answering the question about what I would like to do when I finish my major degree I would say taking a Master in Biochemistry. I would consider taking this course in the future because it's objective is giving a high level background in Biochemical sciences and its aplications to professionals and university graduates. I

The best holidays in my life?

For everything there is a season,  a time for every activity under heaven.  Ecclesiastes 3:1 New Living Translation (NLT) Hello everyone!  I hope you are doing well :) Now that we are just in the middle of exams let's talk about holidays. What do you say? Let's talk about the best holidays in our entire life! Wait a second... I don't have one. I mean  I can't choose one of them as my favourite because I have very good memories of each of them. Anyway, I can tell you a little bit of my holidays in general. I use to go on holidays with my family.  We ha ve went to the south of Chile, to Caleta Hornos, Guatemala, El Quisco, Concepción, Curicó, Los Queñes, Catemu, La Serena, Laguna Verde and other beautiful places.                                                     The time I have spend in one place is very varied. Sometimes I have spend a month in one place, in Guatemala for example, and sometimes I have been just a weekend, usually when I go to El Quisco.

Our targets

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.  Galatians 6:9 New Living Translation (NLT) source Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Every time we start doing something it is important where we want to get with that. Tha gives us motivation and purpose. That helps us keep on efforting for our target when we are already tired or gives us a new impulse  when we remember it. Starting a carrer isn't exempt of that rule. In my case, I'm studying a major in Biochemistry because it is a carrer that could reach me out to understand better how living organisms work chemically. My drives are that I could work reaserching about living organisms that could revert enviormental problems, making science workshops at school and maybe classes. In the first situation I imagine it with a lot of work in contaminated and clean places, a lot of time in the laboratory and also looking for information
