My BFF

My best friend calls Sebastián, I know him since we were in elementary school, we always sat together, did our homeworks together and almost everything

My family knows him and think he is a good guy, so he always going to visit me in my house and we spend hours talking, about anything.

He knows all my secrets and when I don't know what to do, he has wise words to tell me.  Last year he went to studying to Valparaiso, so last semester I spend a lot of time in his house, it was realy entertaining.

This semester I traveled to see him a few times, but definitley no has much as last, but we talk at telephone every weekend and almost everyday by facebook. Even that, I miss him, when I have a great day or a bad day, I remember him and in my family and I wish they were there. But I know that no matter where I am or where he is, always be friends. 

He is now studying automotive mechanic in Federico Santa María University.
Some of his hobbies are playing football, bicycling, full contact karate.

My first Semester

Ohhh, my first semester of this year it was really strange, I didn't come to University, and it was the first time I had a long vacations, I could rest, and don’t be concerned for came back to the stress of have classes.

I enjoyed the time I spent with my family and friends; I could do a lot of things in my free time. I went to visit my aunt to Valparaiso and stay a few weeks with her and also I traveled to La Serena.

As I am from Rancagua and had been lived the last two years in Santiago alone, I came back to lived with my parents, my brother and my sister, so I shared a lot of my free time with them.

Also I met with old friends, from primary and high school that I haven’t seen for a while and how I had no classes, I had more free time that allowed me to see them.

I finally had time to rest, sleep, be lazy and do my favorite activity that is watching movies, and come back this semester with energies.

Santiago

When I came to studying to Santiago, the things I definitely love was having a lot of places to visit and knowing. In my free times I try to go out as much as I can and visit new places. A few friends and I, always go out and they show me a lot of beautiful places like Cerro San Cristobal, Parque Forestal, Parque interprovincial and a few museums and clubs.

In the time I have been travel every day to Santiago, I think the worst thing is the transport system. I lived in Rancagua, and it takes me more time form bus station to the university, tan from Rancagua to Santiago.

Also, the people always look sad, and there are always running, I think that if the people walk happier in life, everything would be better, we don’t be that stress out.

If I knew someone from another country that will travel to Santiago, I definitely advise that always take care of his stuff, that bring a dictionary, and that visit some typical places, like Central Station, Cal y Canto Bridge and La Moneda for their historical value.

Winter ♥

Finally winter!!!!! I was so tired of sunny days, the heat....  but the rain finally arrived :D

Winter is definitely my favorite season, because I love rain, cloudy days in bed, typical winter food like sopaipillas and soups, I even like cold, at least is better than heat

Only after a rainy day, we can see the "cordillera de los Ándes" and the blue sky, and that makes me feel so happy. The last few weeks, the air was gross!!!! Now we can breath air a little more clean

But winter is not perfect, during this season there are many people who get sick and that is never something good.

This past week, I have'n been in Santiago, and being in my house, winter is even better, here when it's raining there's a smell of wet dirt, that is one of my favorite smells, makes me fell so good =)  This past week has reminded me when I was little and was in winter holiday's, I woke up only when I was bored of being in bed. I've seen more movies this week that in the last months... XD

I hope you had a great week of rest for all those who voted "no" to the demonstrations, and very productive for those who support it, see you... who knows when, with highly charged batteries =)

My Laptop ❤

My favorite piece of tecnology is definitely my laptop, my father gave me just last week, until then I used a big computer, and every time I travel to my house, my back was killing me!!, so my father took pity on me, and gave me like a birthday present (i'll be 20 next week :( )

So now, is easy study and made homework at the same time I go and see my family, so I'm really happy :)

Also the colour it's so girly, is pink! the other computer belong to my father so it was a little old and boring.

Now I can't imagine without my laptop!!!

The Person I admire...

It may sound strange, that everyone writte about leading exponents of psycologhy, (probably see in a few blog's names like Freud or Darwin) but if someone ask me who Iadmire in the field of psychology, I have to say that is to Marcial Beltrami.

His name isn't know as a recognized exponent, but definitely made me see the Ethology from another point of view. I never had a great relationship with Biology or Natural sciences, in fact I'm hundred percent humanist, so it was a nice surprise.

He teaches the course of psychobiology in the first year in the career of psychology at the Universidad de Chile. Is an expert in ethology and Zoology, with its simple style to explain the similarities between primates and humans, captivates theirstudents and makes it very easy to understand.

Most of his studies are about primative behavior, and in the classroom relates to human behavior.  One of his studies that I like most, is one about the increase of aggressiveness in children in spring and summer.  I leave you a study about drosophila evolutive biology:  http://www.uc.cl/sw_educ/educacion/grecia/plano/html/pdfs/linea_investigacion/Otros_IOT/IOT_081.pdf
