English Language Challenges

So, this is my last blog. English classes finish for me today (and I hope I could pass this course LOL).
First of all, I have to say that I loved this course. The time for classes and blogs was amazing. I think that this course was so relaxed and that was great to make some kind of balance between all the stress about being a ''mechón''.
When I started this course, I wasn’t capable of writting as fluent as I can nowadays, so by that side I am so thankful for this chance to practise my writting.
To be honest, I was expecting hard classes, full of chemist vocabulary and boring homeworks, but instead I found myself on a class full of fun; we talked about topics importants to young people and (the most importannt thing) with a funny teacher.
The blogging sessions were amazing. I didn’t feel like I was doing homework, because I was writting about the things I liked and I could meet the opinion of my classmates. The topics were interestings and the blogs helped me to know some friends.
I've always thinking that my weakest part of this language is the capability of listening to someoneand inmediatly understand everything. It is hard for me to think in english and be capable of thinking in an answer for something that I just heard.
Now I am capable of understand some TV shows in english (but sometimes I prefer watching it with subtitles in english, so that helps me understand easily) and I am almost capable of having a conversation with some people.
I am greatful for this experience, and I know my learning of english doesn't end here.
See you in another chance, babys ;)

Changes to my study program

When I was on 4th grade, the advisor of my school told us that when we were looking for a career and an university, we had to regard on three things: the curriculum, the infrastructure and the teachers. The time passed and when I decided that I was going to study Chemistry and Pharmacy in Universidad de Chile, I forgot everything my advisor told me. I was only guided by the prestige this university has and I didn't realise my future faculty has lots of problems.
To be honest, I have no problems with the curriculum (except for, maybe, that the career is so long, like every universitary career in this country) and I have no problems with teachers (most of them are quite nice), but I have soooo many problems with our infrastructure (which has lots of ''infra'' and a little bit of ''structure'').
First of all, I want to give an applause to the only good thing of the infrastructure of this faculty, and yes, I mean conditionated air, the very best thing on Earth (thanks to whoever created it).
Now, the bad things (only two):
First: we don't have a casino. The only thing we have to buy food in our faculty is some kind of cafeteria, 20x10 metres squared (maybe less, I suck at estimating) and you can't pay with Junaeb card (so sad)
Second: if it's raining, there's just a pair of places where you can be safe of rain.
I would really fall in love with my faculty if these problems didn't exist.
So this is the only change I will do to my study program
Thanks for reading!

Summer plans

Summer is almost here, and I couldn’t be more annoyed. I’ve always thinking that summer is synonymous of hot, sweat, fatigue and other stuffs like that. The only good thing about summer is no classes! (And it is not even that good, because my freedom of studies means enslavement of cleaning my house)

To scape from all the nasty things of the summer, me and my family usually go to Futrono, a little town placed near Valdivia. For most of the people, Futrono is kind of boring, because there isn't anything to do after midnight, but I love the place exactly for that; it is amazing to get out of all the noise of the capital, to breathe fresh air and be surrounded by lots and lots of trees, animals and little houses.

On the last two or three years, Futrono has been becoming in a place a little more touristic, because of its natural attractive, so that means the little town is now full of tourists in the morning, the beaches are full of beach umbrellas and blonde heads.

My plans for this summer are going to Futrono for a few weeks (maybe I will be there for a week with my parents and another week with my grandparents, because they almost live there). We will visit some of my dad's uncles, aunts and cousins, maybe we will also visit some craft fairs and (this is my favourite part) we will go to the lake <3

God, I was so tanned that I was becoming orange (and yes, my hat is the coolest)

So this is my post, leave your comments on the box :)

GPOY

Hello everyone! So for today’s blog I am going to tell you the story behind one of my favourite pictures ever.

This picture was taken about a year ago, during our school graduation’s photo session. In this picture you can see my very best friends. We were classmates since 2010 and we were friends since then as well, because our mothers were on our grade’s directive.

These girls are (from left to right) Bárbara (AKA Babi), Tamara, me, Natalia, Celeste (AKA Tetete) and on the bottom of the picture, there’s Javiera (AKA Bubi, because her last name was Bustos). My friend Javiera wasn’t on the actual picture because she changed of school when we were on 3rd grade, but we wanted to put her in because we love her.

Right now, these girls are doing things sooooo variated. It is really complicated for me to think that we were learning the same things once.

Bárbara is studying Laws on Universidad Diego Portales. She wants to become a cool lawyer and defend women’s rights.

Tamara is now in Germany (sieg heil), studying on a Business School and learning the language too. Her courses are taught in english, so every time I doubt about the language, I go right to her.

Natalia is studying Commercial Engineering on Universidad Adolfo Ibañez. She is now starting a business with some classmates. She sells various kinds of plants and stuff to take care of them.

Celeste is studying Political Science on Universidad Católica. She is incredibly critical, I mean, on her first semester, she had an argument with a teacher because he was teaching something based just on a thought.

Javiera sat for the PSU again this year. She wants to study something language related and she also wants to live in the South of Chile (because most of her family lives there).

So this is the post for today, I hope you enjoyed reading this.

Postgraduate studies

Hello everyone, so for today’s post I will write about a thing that I see so far away from now, and I mean postgraduate studies.

To be honest, I had never thought about this possibility, because I am just on my first year at University and I am dying just with the ‘’easy part’’, so I don’t know how long I’ll take to finish my basics studies (because it is supposed that I had to finish the career in 5 years and a little more, but now I am going to finish it in 6 years because of reasons).

OK, so I just researched about possible postgraduate studies and I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I will explain you a little about the possible postgraduate study that I was picturing in my head:  a PHD about doping. I know that the career has a course about analysis of medicaments, doping and abuse drugs, but I would like to learn so much about this topic, so I think that just 1 semester won’t make me happy. I would like to investigate so much about doping, because I already learnt something in the world of athletics (it is sad to admit this, but I knew girls about 14 years old that already was taking drugs to improve their skills). 

I want to know everything about this drugs, so then I could even work to IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations). One of the jobs that would be amazing will be to work on the Olympic Games!

So that is my possible postgraduate study. I hope someday I could find an University that taught this dreamed PHD.

Thanks for reading!

My future job

Hello everyone! Today I am going to write about the job I want to have in a few years. 

When I decided that I was going to study for being a chemist pharmaceutical, I began investigating about possible jobs where I could work. I found that this career has a lot of possibilities to work, because the career is related to all the process that a drug has to pass before being sold and it is also related to the selling itself. In summary, my possibilities were almost infinities and I thought that I had to ‘‘choose’’ one of the options to have as a target.

When I investigated, I found some jobs that sounded a little bored, like quality control and other stuffs like that and I thought ‘’OK, when I will be an old woman, I will work there’’

.

Other work that sounded not particularly attractive to me was the selling part. I imagined myself dressed as Dr. Simi and then I thought ‘’This is definitely not for me’’, and then I laughed (and cried) because it is probably that on my practices I will work in the selling part, because it is the most common work for chemist pharmaceuticals.

So, let’s go to the important part. The job of my dreams is being sitting on a chair in front of many test tubes, flasks and other things like that, trying to find a drug that could heal diseases like AIDS and other things like that. I studied this career because I want to help people’s health without the ‘’oh, you are going to die tomorrow’’ part, so I think that a good contribution for people’s health would be create new drugs.

So this was my post, I hope you had enjoyed reading this :)

The best anime ever!

Hello world, so first of all I have to say that I kind of hate when the blog has a free topic because I never know what to write. Now I am just making time to begin writing LOL.

So, ‘’a topic that interest you’’… I think I am going to write about a thing that has me a little bit obsessed for the last 10 years or more maybe.

Today I’m going to write about an anime which has become my favourite in this months. I am talking about Hunter X.

When I was a child (about 10 years ago) I watched the first version of this anime and all I remembered was the first part of it, so about 8 months ago I decided to watch the second version from the beggining. (And I also read the manga, because the anime hasn't made every chapters of the manga).

This anime tells the story of Gon Freecs, a 12 years old boy who wants to become a hunter to find his father, Ging. To become a hunter requires to pass an exam, which is extremely difficult and it is full of misteries. In this exam, Gon met his friends: Kurapika, Leorio and Killua, who is his very best friend.

This exam was only the beggining of their story, but I am not going to tell you more, in case you want to watch this anime!

Now I am going to show you some of the main characters:

From left to right: Killua, Leorio, Gon (above the box) and Kurapika.

He is Hisoka, one of the aspirant to become a hunter (most of the fans loves him, but I don't know why.)

He is Kuroro, leader of Gen'ei Ryodan (enemies of Kurapika) and my favourite character (He is amazing, I love him)

One of the best things of the new version of the anime is the opening. The song is the same in every version, but the images changes once the ''arc'' changes. So I am leaving the video of the opening of my favourite arc. Please just enjoy it.

I hope you had enjoyed my post!

Athletics

Hello everyone, so for today’s post I will write about the thing that I am passionate about.  To begin I am going to tell you a story about a little Yanara that was on 3^rd grade, a little girl only 8 years old who wanted to do something with her free time. 

When I was 8 years old I was so bored with the things that I did. I was just going to school, I did my homework and I ate (now that I think, that doesn’t sounds so bad, but who cares?). So when the scholar year began a teacher told me that she was going to begin an athletics class that year, so I said ‘’why not?’’.

That year, 2006 to be precise, I began running. That is the thing that makes me feel like I am the happiest girl ever.

From 2006 to 2010 I practiced on my school, and then my trainer told me ‘’you have to begin training in somewhere better’’, so she sent me to Estadio Nacional to train with the good athletes. When I began training there, the things were so hard to me: the training literally left me breathless and almost every day I arrived at my home just to lay on my bed until the next morning.  It took me about 10 months to get used to that trainings, and then came the best years of my life.

On 2011 I won the national championship on the discipline of 300 metres hurdles, that was my first year running on federated championships and my trainer, Santiago, told me that winning the national on my first year will be hard, but I did!

Nowadays I still training with the University selection, but I am not as good as I was a few years ago, because I have to spend almost all my time studying.

Here is my last picture running, this was on June this year, on the first time I ran with Universidad de Chile’s clothes. In that championship I obtained the sixth place on 100 metres.

So that is my story with athletics, I hope you had enjoyed this post :)

Today's post is a video LOL I hope you enjoy it :) Greetings

The best concert of my life

Hi! So today I have to write about the best concert of my life. I was thinking of writing about the first concert I went (Tronic, on 2011, where I could meet the whole band in a kind of ''meet and greet'') but I prefer writing about a concert that literally left me voiceless, so I am going to write about Arctic Monkeys' concert, on November 11th, 2014.
I remember my mom took me out of school and then she took me to my house, where I changed my clothes and took the ticket. The first problem came then, because I couldn't find the ticket. It took me about an hour to remember that I had kept the ticket inside a book (lol).
After I found my ticket, I went to Movistar Arena. There was a very long row, so I stood on the end of the row (and I was very sad because that meant that I will be so far away from the stage).
A few minutes later, a girl of my school appeared and asked me to go with her to the top of the row (yay!).
When the doors were opened, I ran as fast as I could and I stand just beside the bars that separated the people from the stage. I was on the first line!.
The concert was musically amazing, but I have to recognize that I would have loved if the band would interacted more with the fans.
Here is a picture that I took that day (excuse me, the camera of my cellphone was terrible then).

In the picture you can see Jamie Cook, the guitarist of the band, who was about 10 meters away from me. (Half of my voice just gone because I shouted so many things to him and Alex Turner).
I hope you have enjoyed this post :)

A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone!

So today I have to write about a country I would like to visit. The first thing that came to my mind is the travel of my dreams: when I grew up, I want to travel to Greece, an european country. 

I fell in love with that country since I first saw ''Mamma mia'', a musical movie placed on Greece. The landscapes looked just amazing through the screen, so I can't even imagine how should be to stand right there, I mean in the real life. The first place that I want to know is Rhodes, a beach where you can practice windsurfing. Here is a picture of this place:

On the other hand, I want to know where the Olympic Games were born. I want to meet historic places, like the Parthenon or the Achropolis. Greece is a country full of culture, I mean, our culture depends in some way on greeks. The first monument I want to know is the Parthenon, so here is a picture:

Nowadays, Greece is on a financial crisis, so my plans are just going to visit the country. I am not thinking of staying or stuff like that.

Thanks for reading this :3
