English Language Challenges

Learning a language is always a hard task to accomplish; this requires a lot of practice and dedication to learn the different types of grammar rules and the pronunciation of the wide amount of words.

During the course of time some languages have been more “important” than others, in our current time the more relevant language is English, for this reason in the university we have English classes, because today all the scientific discoveries are written in English.

During the time I have in these English courses we have the opportunity to make different types of exercises, to improve our English, like blogs, classes, some games, among other things. I can say they were nice. 

During the course we blogs to practice our grammar and capability to think and write about different topics, I think they are useful, they complete they purpose 

What aspects of my English I need to improve? I think definitely my pronunciation, to be honest I’m not so sure how to improve it, I don’t have many opportunities to practice it, or someone to practice with, but I try to hear different things in English, for example when I play a video game, I put it in English, first because i like more the  voice acting on English more than in Spanish, and so hear the pronunciation of different words. 

Currently outside the English class I use my English a lot, for example to study about different things or to make some works for the university, because there is more information available in English than in Spanish, and in video games when I need to type something on chat or understand the story of it.

Changes To My Study Programme

Education institutes during the course of years try always to innovate in the study programs, upgrading them according to the needs, new technology available and new discoveries that change some understandings about different things.
In my current career, which is pharmacy, we got a new study plan a few years ago; I can’t compare them because this is my first year in the career, but I can say that I think the current one is well organized, we see a lot of things related whit what we may be doing in the future. I think the workload In the current program is fine, but maybe the length of the career is a bit long, but I understand that in this career you have to know about a lot of things.
The university lacks about different things, for example the classrooms could have less broken chairs, and we can have a bigger library
Technology in almost every career is very important, it allows you to access to the new information available in the internet for example, and of course without technology, we couldn’t be able to progress in our understandings about this world.
In our current educational system (and probably a lot of years before the current system), the university works just like the school, you came to classes, you take note of some things, you memorize them, and then you have a test, so I believe that the teaching methods in the university are the same utilized in the school.

Addiction: From Tea and Coffee to Drugs of Abuse

Since ancient history mankind has use different types of drugs for diverse purposes, one of these drugs is the caffeine, the caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant wide world used and commercialized.
As for myself, like almost any person, I have tried a drug of abuse, and as you can imagine is the caffeine, I have to say that I take daily a cup of coffee, and for my experience, is good it helps a lot to wake up in the morning.
The caffeine for being a central system stimulant, will reduce fatigue and drowsiness, improving reaction time, wakefulness, and concentration (among others) being this some of the observable effects on a caffeine user.
Caffeine like any drug of abuse has some positive aspects and others negatives ones, for the beneficial aspects it can treat and prevent some diseases, like the apnea of prematurity, in fact caffeine is consider an essential medicine according to the “WHO”, but still has some negative aspects, for example caffeine can produce drug dependence, producing some withdraw symptoms such as sleepiness, headache and irritability.
Caffeine can produce some side effects, since physical effects to psychological ones, some example of physical effects are, increasing blood pressure causing vasoconstriction, increase the basal metabolic rate, and affect gastric acid secretion, on the other hand some psychological effects are insomnia, jitteriness, and other anxiety disorders. Aside this caffeine can be lethal over 10 grams per day for an adult, which are roughly 50–100 ordinary cups of coffee.
Now you may ask if a know some addicted to a drug of abuse, and I think is quite obvious, I think is hard to find someone who doesn’t use any type of drug, but in any case in my family I’m not the only one who use a lot of caffeine, my dad for example takes a lot more cups of coffee than me (like 3-4 cups per day).
I think drugs of abuse are very present is society, and for this many individuals are under the effect of any of them, as for my career (pharmacy), I believe that some of them obviously has some very negative effects to the professionals, like the hard drugs, or alcohol, but “safe” drugs like caffeine, I don’t see the problem of using them (I don’t say this because I use it ok?), of course in normal doses.

Post Graduate Studies

In our current time get a higher specialization has become an important aid, because in the current era, going to the university has something within the reach of more people, comparing to the old eras, when just a few privilege people can assist to the university, meaning this that in a globalized world, you need to have a bigger knowledge and highlight before other to get a better job, for this main reason I would take a post graduate course.

Currently if you ask me which subject or course I would like to take it would be the diploma of “clinical pharmacy”, because I like the idea of working directly whit a group of health professionals into a common goal, try to give to the patient the best life option before his disease or accident, but if we speak of a higher post grade title, like a Ph.D. I think I would like to course the “pharmacology”, study the course of action that medicine they exercise in the body.

If I have the possibility to make the course abroad in a good university I would gladly accept, but making the course is Chile is something I wouldn’t mind at all.

The form of how I would like to study it would be a part time course, because I think this way, I would have time for a job in the meantime while the course last and other activities, besides I think that classroom allow you to have a more interactive session than have a class though internet, and perhaps taking a blended system and take a part of the course in another country it may be a bit expensive.

Your Future Job

In our current civilization having a job is essential to get some money and a wide amount of things, since bread to a house.

The job i would like to have once I graduate from the university is becoming the emperor of the word (Cleary a full time job). Ok now seriously, a job related to what I’m currently studying (pharmacy), I would like to work en clinical pharmacy, I imagine it like a though job but a fundamental one.

 

In whatever job I get in the future i would prefer an indoor job, mainly because of what I said before. 

If in my job i get the opportunity to travel a lot, I think I would like it, because you can, well of course see new places and cultures, but because since is a job travel you can learn new thinks about what you are doing.

If we speak the salary i think i would like to get enough to buy 7 Ferrari’s and 10 manors, ok, i don’t know but for sure a salary that allow me to live in proper conditions whit certain privileges.

currently I’m thinking to take the clinical pharmacy major (if this is a major, sorry but i have no idea if this is or not) because in this job you play a fundamental role to maintain people alive, it may be a bit rough, still I think this is what I like.

Old and New Hobbies: From Collecting Stamps to Mountain Climbing

Hobbies are an essential part of our life, they are meant to be something we enjoy doing in our free time. One of my favorites hobbies are playing video games alongside whit reading books, there is not much to say here, maybe that I enjoy a lot of genres of games and books.
I have these hobbies for a long time, maybe since I have 12 years old; I grab the taste of reading some books and expend some time playing video games. But why, well every hobby is meant to be something you enjoy personally I have some enjoyable time doing these two things I mentioned before, and that is just enough for me to consider them important (for me).
When I was a child I used to collect different things, like tickets from the bus, or bouncing balls.
Now, there´s is a few hobbies that I think I would never do, like taking pictures, or painting, don´t get me wrong, those can be the marvelous hobbies for someone else and that´s amazing, but I don’t enjoy them, maybe cause my artistic skills sucks and I see making painting more as a challenge than a past time.
Being honest I can’t think in some hobbies I will have in some years, at least for now I´m very happy whit the ones I currently do.

Our Amazing Human Body

the human body is full of amazing system, each one of them whit a unique role to carry out, some of them are vital for our existence like the nervous system or the circulatory system, among others, I will talk about the circulatory system, specifically about the heart, because this one is one of the most important systems in the body, without the heart no other organ can function.

The heart is the core of this system, he oversees bump blood though the body, blood provides the body whit oxygen and nutrients, while removing metabolic wastes, without it non-organ can work properly and perish in a very brief time.  The heart in humans in the middle compartment of the chest, the heart is typically the size of a fist: 12 cm in length, 8 cm in wide and 6 cm in in thickness.

Sadly the heart can have a lot of diseases, some of them are Coronary artery disease, in which  the inner walls of the arteries  narrows reducing the blood flow to the heart . Another one is Heart failure, in this one the heart can't beat out enough blood to meet the needs of the body.
Hearth diseases are the most common cause of death in the world, many of them caused for unhealthy habits like a poor diet, smoking, among other, for this reason a balanced diet and exercise can help a lot you are keeping your heart healthy.
