Tips to visit Santiago de Chile

Well, in general Santiago is a very beautiful city, with many different places to know and visit. Personally, I don´t know my city as I want, but I`ve visited some important chilean places and I think that they are very important If someone of other country would like to visit here and know about my country. First of all, the first important place that I really like is the house of government called " Palacio de la Moneda". It is a very big white building, and it has a lot of history, principally because in 1973 it happened a very important coup d'état, where this building was destroyed. The reconstruction and restoration projects of these builiding were completed on March 11, 1981.
Other important place to visit is the Fine Art Museum. It is located on Forestal park, a very speciall and sometimes bohemian neighborhood. In the Fine Art Museum you can find many artistic expressions like sculptures, paintings, etc.
One of my favorite places to visit is San Cristobal hill. It`s located on Providencia, a big and famouse commune. This hill is very speciall because you can do many kind of thing, for example you can walk, ride bicycle, see a bautifull view, but only on summer because on winter you can see the big pollution of the city.
Here in Chile we have the beautiful Los Andes Mountain range, so for that we have many modern ski resorts like Valle Nevado, El Colorado and Farellones. There you can practice ski, snowboard, etc.
And as I`m a woman, obviously the comercial centers are very important!, but definaetly the cheapest and exclusive place is Patronato! yoy can find many kind of clothes and very cheap! jajajajaja
Well, I hope that all the people that want to visit Santiago de Chile read my blog and follow these tips! =)
See you folks!

MY FAVORITE MUSIC

Hi folks! Well, today I´m going to talk about something that I really love, and that´s music! In my whole life I´ve been listened to many kind of music, like pop, electronic, etc. However, since four years ago I´ve been listened to a very spectacular kind of music, and that´s rock. In general, I like very much chilean and argentinian rock, specially Los Tres and Soda Stereo respectively. Also. I like USA rock, like Crossfade, and now I´m going to talk about them.
When I was in school, one of my friend show me this band, and I like it immediately! I started searching a lot of information about this group, and I realized that there is not many information about them in internet. My friend told me that they are not much known, but in Ares (a search music web site) I could find more music and some pictures of them too. Then, I was looking for the two CD`s of the band, so I went to Feria del Disco (a chilean music store) but they weren´t there. I was really upset, but in that time my uncle traveled to United States, so he brought me the two CD`s. I was very happy for that! Folks, I really recommend you this group. You can search in http://www.myspace.com/crossfade and there is many information about them. Specially I recommend you the song " Cold". It is very strong and funny, so enjoy it!
See you later!

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Well, there is a very beautiful country that I would like to visit, and this is Spain. I have an aunt who lives there and she has shown me a lot of pictures of this country and definately it is amazing. Spain has a metropolitan culture that influenced many other parts of the world like Southamerica. For example, Chile was colonized by Spain, so we conserve many customs and traditions of this country, like the language.
Actually Spain is a developed country, so there are many oportunities, especially in the academic area. If I traveled to Spain, I would like to do a postdegree in health because they have the neccesary technology and resources in this area, so I could learn and come back to Chile and show my knowledge. However, it is a very touristic place too, so I would like to spend my vacations there. Also, Spain is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, so I could travel to other countries that surround Spain like Italy, France, England, etc.
In this moment I`m only a student, but when I start working, I swear that I will join money and became this idea into something real and exciting experience.

GOOD AND BAD POINTS

Well, now I`m starting a new term, and I`m really happy fort that. The first term of 2009 was very exciting and sometimes very stressful, but in general was amazing. I learned many things like celular biology, genetics and chemistry. At first it was very difficult because I didn`t know the pace of study that this career requieres, so I was a bit scared. As time passed, I felt more confident about my skills, so I lost the fear and I started to fell very happy with my career.
This first term was very awsome too because I knew many wonderful people. This is very important because all my friends at university are a support for me in all the ways. We do many things together like study, go to parties, get lunch, and these activities make that we became more united.
My family is the most important thing in my whole life. They are a big support , so they help me a lot in the first term. Infortunally I don`t have so much time now, so it`s a bit difficult to stay with my familly all the time. I have to study a lot, so this is a very bad point in general when everyone start to study at university. The same thing happend with my friends and it`s very sad.

In general, I`m very happy to study here, with all the good and bad things because I`m doing something for my future, and that is very amazing.

A talk review

Sir Ken Robinson in his conference discusses the problems with traditional education, and how it must change to meet the needs of present and future. In his talk raises the idea that at the present time the schools are killing creativity in their students. He founded this idea by saying that education given in schools tend to develop only certain areas in the students, like language, history, science and mathematics, and that other areas like arts, dance or music are neglected.
I´m totally agree with Sir Ken Robinson. In my case, when I was in school the art area was completly neglected. In fact, in high school I never had a music class because I should choose between arts or music, and I decided for arts. This hapenned because the teacher said that we must put more attention in maths, science, history and language.I think that if we want to be an integral human been, we must develop all areas that make the human been complete.
Also people tends to stigmatises these more humanistic areas, and do not let the students develop this skills, prohibited form doing what they want.
Other factor is that schools do not give room for mistakes, and show them like the worst thing in the world; this is why children are afraid of making mistakes. Robinson says that if you aren´t prepared to fail, you wouldn´t be an original person, with identity.
I think that we have a mission. We must be aware of all these aspect of education and make something better, we have to promote human imagination and not let education kill them

My Blogging Experience

I´m finishing the semester, and also my English class. This expierence to write a blog have been so amazing because I can practice my English writting about things that are related to technology, personal interests, life experiences and the most importan: things related with my career. I think that this way of learning and practice English is very interactive because in the same time that we learn and practice English we learn about our career. In my case, I really loved to writte about pregnancy, delivery and post delivery because I learned about terminology in English that I know in Spanish, so this will help me in te future if I have to attend to a patient that speaks English for example, or if I travel to another country to specialize me where the people speak English.
Sometimes, It made me a bit difficult writte in the blog because I think that we didn´t have enough time in class to finishing it, so the most of the time I must do it very fast, even sometimes I had to finish the blogg in my house. I think that in the future we could prepare the blog with more time, and in that way qe could deppen more in the topic that we are talking.
I think that learn English is something very important. Right now, we are living in a world where the English is te universal speaking language, so personally I love to learn English, and also I´m grateful to the university for be worried about our integral education doing this subjet of English.
I hope that in the future, the pre-intermediate level classes keep doing this kind of tool so funny like make a blog, and also spread the blogs in all the university community. I really like doing my blog! and I hope keep doing it in the future :D

My Ideal Job :)

Right now I`m just a student of obstetrics, so when I finish my career I want to work like a professional midwife, especially attending new born children. All my life I have to related with babies, so I really like them and I think that they are adorable!. I think that the midwife labor is not only related with worries and cares about woman in her pregnancy time and delivery. Midwifes must worry a lot of new born children because they are new lifes, so they must have all the knowledge about how they must keep and support those new lifes. Everyone that want to work in this area of obstetrics must have many knowledge about neonatology, gynaecology, first aids, nursery knowledge, etc. In our professional training we get these knowledge, so if we want to especially in these area, we must improve and deepen especially in neonatology.

Personaly, I like so much these area, so I will study so hard to be the best in my career. Also, I think that in this area there are many professionals, and for that sometimes it´s a bit difficult to get a job inmediately, so the most important thing is be a very good student, get good grades at university, and if we do that, we will have more opportunities to get great jobs in a shorter time.
