Year 2013!

Hello! Today I’m going to talk about good and bad points at 2013. In general, I think I had a good year. Firstly, this year is one of my last experiences like student of this university. When the year ends, I will be licensed like psychologist. I am happy for that. The next year I will begin to work in my professional practice. It is a good point to me because I will begin to work in my passion, above all because I have the support of my teachers.

I had great experiences this year. I participated in a class like assistant; I was chosen to participate in a unit of study of the faculty, where we have to work in investigations and social projects. Recently, we have applied to state fund “semilla” for work with a community of Chaitén, victims of a mining project.

This year, I began to work with patients in CAPs with a group of students graduates. I had my first experience like psychologist. This year I moved house. Today, I live with two greats friends in apartment in La Cisterna. We have many projects for work with the community, like a popular school.

Maybe, a bad point was having finished with my girlfriend. But today I’m good, I feel good. I have more time to work in my interests. In short, this year was very positive. I had the possibility to work in many things for my formation like psychologist and person.

I hope you´ve had a year positive too!

Dreams or Aspirations

Hello! Today I’m going to talk about the dreams. In my opinion, the dreams are messages sent from our unconscious.  I think that dreams are a way for our minds to show us what we really want. I usually remember my dreams, but I don’t remember if it’s in color or not. I don’t remember everything. I did like to remember everything and write it on a paper, above all the most interesting or crazy dreams.

Other things are the aspirations. I have many dreams (aspirations) for my life. I pretend to travel so much and never stop to study.

If I had much money I would help more people, community institutions and academic investigations. I do not think that dreams are premonitions. In my opinion, the dreams and aspirations are different.  Aspirations are those desires that we try to meet every day. Dreams are the claims of our unconscious desires hidden  in the depths of our mind to appear when we sleep.

¿A green earth?

If we must think about a green world, with sustainable practices, we need to ask ourselves about what kind of system we constantly keep. We live in a world with a life conception separated from the necessity of taking care of the earth.  Since the industrial revolution with the development of technology, the communities have begun to expand the use of big tools for extracting minerals and raw materials around the world, specifically from third world regions, like Latin America or Africa. The big societies that had a faster development began to work from a competitive conception. For a long time it didn´t matter which economic model we were using. Today, we believe in a different world, but few people question this system.

In my opinion, if we aren´t able to change this system, the earth will continue suffering from our mistakes independently of public politics orientated to keep harmony. I have a pessimistic opinion. Today there is no turning point for the earth. We use more we need. We need to change our way of thinking. We understand the development from selfish and an individualist idea. If we want a better world and a future for our species, we have to stop this way of thinking about development.

In my case, I live with friends in a town where there are recycling bins. In addition, we have the habit of separating the trash. On the one hand we have the other wastes of organic and no organic waste. This in order to feed Australians worms raised in a small box for generates "compus". The “compus” is a type of soil for make the garden more fertile. 

BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS

Hi everybody, today I’m going to talk about literature and books, specifically about my favorites reads. I’d like to start saying read is one of my favorites hobbies. Ever I have time, I take a book. My favorite authors are José Miguel Varas, a Chilean writer, Vicente Huidobro, Jorge Teillier and Gonzalo Rojas, Chilean poets, and historians like Felipe Portales, Luis Vitale and Gabriel Salazar, about others. When I was a child, I didn´t have the habit of read constantly. I didn’t t like to read the schools books. When I was fourteen approximately, I began to read more because I had a teacher who made us choose the book for the test. My first reads were about story and poetry. I began to read many authors of these genres, above all chilean writers.

Today, I read about anything, above all because I am studding a scientist social career. I have to read many books about psychology, philosophy and history. I enjoy reading. I have many books in my library. When I have time, I re-read a book with a nice cup of tea.

As extra datum, when I gift a book, I like write a dedicatory in its first page. I think, give a book is one of the most beautiful presents.

I hope you like my post!

See you!

Notice of THE GUARDIAN

Impact of mental health service cuts

Today I’m going to talk about a notice of THE GUARDIAN newspaper. This notice is about the impact of the mental health service cuts. The article is about how some factors have a negative impact on the patients. The author comments about the scarcity of the psychiatric institutions. According to him, it has been harmful for wellbeing patients; because they need good conditions for have treatments in good conditions. He explain it, considering that at least 1,711 psychiatric beds have closed since April 2011, most of them in acute adult wards, older people's wards and psychiatric intensive care units. Besides it the author explains the impact of the negligence of treatments on patients, above all considering that the long distance patients are from home is detrimental to the wellbeing of them because of the disruption to their support networks. In others words, if the treatments don’t have support of the patient’s family, may have negative consequences for the patients, making reference about “The Ship of Fools”. On the other hand, the author considerate the importance of patients monitoring because of the care on society.

In my opinion and considering my career, I think it is a good article, because the author explains many important things about the psychiatric patients care.

I invite you read the article: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/oct/17/impact-mental-health-services

I hope you think the same.    !

Anime

Hello! 

Today I’m going to talk about my movie interests, specifically about two genres or companies, Disney cinema or anime. In my life I have seen many movies of Disney like Rey León, Mulán, Aladdin, Up, about others. These movies have been very funny. I laughed a lot when I was kid. Including today I enjoy this movies. I have seen anime cartoons too when I was a child, but not from cinema or videotape, only from TV. At four or five o clock approximately, Cartoon Network or ETC TV use to show slum dunk, dragon ball z or Los super campeones, detective conan, Caballeros del Zodiaco, my favorites anime´s series. The history of this series was very enjoyable and addictive. I waited anxiously see them.

I´m not a fan of anime, but today I have met many anime movies, above all Miyasaki, a Japanese film director, manga artist and producer of movies like La princesa Mononoke, El Castillo Andante, El viaje de Chihiro, Mi Vecino Totoro.  This movies are very interesting and enjoyable, because Miyasaki is capable of blend the reality with a magic world or add mythic object or personages without abusing of the mystic elements. The perfect mix, above all because the histories ever leave a teaching or leave us thinking.

I hope you have seen anime´s movies. Are very very interesting.

See you!!!

Hello! Today I will talk about one of my favorites countries. 

One of countries that i would like to visit is Ecuador. I’d like to meet his wonderful woods and natural monuments. I’d like to know his culture and people`s costumes, the gastronomy and his public politics oriented to generate changes for a fair and egalitarian society.  I`d like to stay there many time. I considerate that country is one of the most beautiful countries of the world, because of his wealth native and his diversity languages. 

The quechua, originary language, even remain in many communities, above all in native villages.

I`d like to study there, specifically in the University of Quito, because in that country there are discussions about the social context of Latinoamerica. That university imparts a post grade for study Latino American public’s politics, subject about colonization and decolonization and knowledge about imperialism in the continent. 

Maybe in two or three years I will be studding one of my passions, social psychology with many academics and intellectual of this continent.
