Psot 10: 2014

Hello classmate, in this post I will to talk about some things that happened this year. Earlier this year many things came either, I was very motivate and anxious, had decided study trumpet and music while still in psychology, also I started playing in two bands. I love what I do but sometimes the time is short.

The first half at the university I take an assistantship for the course psychology in career sociology and was amazing and also a personal challenge because I had to review many contents of the first year by my career. Also It was funny that I made some expositions.

Maybe, the most complex in this year was the money, because my family is going of a difficult moment in economic terms, then I´ve had that cover all my expenses. But good is that by the music, I've had a lot of work lately. In that sense, I should be grateful for the opportunities I've had this year. Perhaps, I had to be away some classes, rehearsals and performances by some, but I think it costs to do the things I like.

Has been interesting to everything I've learned this year, for more theoretical issues to life things. Sometimes I haven´t much time for sleep or spend more with my family and friends, but I think that the life is more beautiful while you can do what I like and passionate. This year many times I've had a bit scary because I think: “maybe not be able to do this or that”, but then I remember my dreams and people who love me, and recover the energy to continue. Regards!

Hobbies

Hello everyone, today I going to talk about my hobbies. Often I haven`t time by studies but I love I do fun things. For example, I like read an interesting book, as novels of Roberto Bolaño, as short stories of Julio Cortazar or the poems of Rodrigo Lira.  When I`m at university generally I only read theoretical papers but I like so much the literature.

This year I haven't gone much into the pool but I like so much to swim. I ride in bicycle but I prefer swim because is more entertainment but for I go to the pool I need more time while that for I go to somewhere I can ride a bike.

Also, I like to party whit my girlfriend or my friends, I love dance and drink or talk quietly with someone. This is a hobby for me because I think that this is necessary to distract after work or study.

But the hobby I more like to do is listen music of all kinds, from jazz to pop. I love the music, for me is necessary take some time to I am quietly and relax enjoying of the music. Ever I listen music, on the bus or bicycle, but it isn´t equal, I´m concern of other things and I am not focused in the details of the music. This is why that I need many time in the week  

Finally, I like watch movies of any types: action, mystery or comedy. Sometimes I attempt practice English while watch the movie. Regards!

Post 7: HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Hello classmate, I`m going to talk about what I think of the environment. Many people talk about what they are ecological but sometimes they don't make a thing to improve the environment. Then, I wonder, how you can help the environment.

Well, the previous question is very complicate, because, I think that some problems can be identified. First, the ecology is very interesting and it has great ideas, but people sometimes only criticise the environmental issues, setting aside other themes, for example, the economic system and its productive form that needs control the nature and extracts greater amount of resources. In that scences, the problem is not related with other structural problems.

Second, the ecological thought is very critical but in this time, as many other things and is in the market, then, it loses some meaning and becomes a massive fashion. I think that the problem is not the massive character, but rather, it is only this, because some people think that just buying some clothes or buying in selected stores they are helping the planet and I think that it is not so.

Finally, I think that the ecology is a very important thought because somehow it directly affects us in our health and our life. Then, beyond being consequent, I think that the pollution is a problem very serious of all society but, especially, of the governments, although I think that with this economic system is not much what can be made. Bye Bye!

My future job

Hello everyone, today I will to talk about my future work or more specifically I will to talk about what I want for my future. At school, when I thought I wanted to study, I liked two areas: social sciences or humanities and music. Since my adolescence I play trumpet and I`m interested in the music in general. I played in the school orchestra´s and there the musical formation was classic, then I was recommended postulate to conservatory, but I not was selected. It is why I decided to look into other careers because I thought it was the only way to study music at the conservatory.

The psychology seemed to me interesting to be among health and social sciences. Also, the psychology considers the question to the human condition. Finally, I study psychology because I like the clinic and some social aspects. But, two years ago I the musical study however to other way, now it is with private lessons and focused on popular music. I would like to work in the two things, but first continue studying music. Then, I intend work part-time in the public health while I study. Later on, I would like work as a musician and clinical psychologist. I think that is possible because they are two complementary activities and also, in both can work part time. Regards!

Post 4: The bomb

Hello classmates, today I will talk about the strange blast the last Monday in the subway station. But, I will be focused in the use which the mass media it made about the news. Beyond that the law is looking for the guilty, is interesting see as the media use this news for cause terror. In my personal opinión, the importance it is atributed about the bomb it relates to the new reforms being made in security and intelligence. I think if people are afraid, also they demand more security and control, allowing in this way, for example, more the police intervention. This week, in the subway, there were at least two policemen at each station, this seems curious in relationship with the recent protests by increases in the price of public transport.

Moreover, I think that is not important the blast or the bomb by itself, because also could be  any other thing, as the mapuches or students, I think that the problem is the the control on the population, using public safety as an argument. However, the question is, for me, Why the interest in public security and not by the conditions of life the people? Or, why the interest by the “terorist” and not by the drug trafficking?

POST 1 >> A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Hello classmates. Today I going to talk about the country I´d like to visit. I´m interested in East Europe, especially Croatia. I think Croatia is important for my personal history because my grandfather was born there. Even if I didn´t know my grandfather (because he died when my mother was a baby) I think I can know more about him visiting his country. Also, I like this country because of their dance and music, especially traditional gypsy folk. Moreover, I think that recently east Europe’s history is very interesting because of their conflicts and wars. I would like visit Croatia in a touristic way, meet the island where my grandfather lived and also visit all Balkan Peninsula. It would be nice to meet some familiar or any of my grandfather´s old friends that could talk me about him and his life in Croatia. It would be important for me recover that part of my family history. Have a nice week, bye bye. 

Post 2: Music

Hello classmates! Today I talk about the music that I like listen. I like all the music in general, but I prefer to the instrumental music, as the jazz or ska. I think that like the instrumental music because I'm musician, more specifically I play the trumpet. Then, I like the music that have funny brass, for example the latin music as the salsa or boleros, and also the black music, funk, afrobeat, reggae. Also, I like the famous trumpeters that play jazz. I think that's what I like is the jazz, in particular the jazz of the 50 or 60, as the Charlie Parker, Miles Davis or Clifford Brown. But, I think that is amazing the jazz bebop and hardbop that played Clifford Brown. Unfortunately, Clifford died too young, but his music influenced to the new jazz generations. He is my favourite trumpet player and his music. I am fascinates by his versatility, his solo can is fast and stridents, but also his sound can is slight and deep. I recommend this great song by Clifford Brown:
