Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi! we've reached the last blog of the semester jsjs :D This time I have to write about my experience learning English at the University. Before talking about it, I must mention that since I was a child I never had the proper stimulation to recognize the phonemes of English, neither at home nor in my primary school. I was never encouraged to learn the language, And I did not find it useful in my daily life, no one explained to me how important it can be to learn it. When I was in high school I began to take more importance of the English language, but nevertheless the hearing deficiencies and the low spirits acquired during my first 14 years with respect to learning the language prevented me from progressing (in addition to the fact that the teacher's voice bothered my ears quite a bit). Once in the University, I started from the lowest level of English, at that time I was forced to improve since I had a trip scheduled to Texas, USA, with competitive reasons, but still I ...

Blog 7: Music

Imagen
Hello! Welcome to my new Post, this time I have to talk about a subject that fascinates me a lot, the Music. I like many musical genres, including classical music, baroque music, neoclassical metal, symphonic metal, folk metal, celtic metal, celtic music, j-pop, rock, pop rock, country, blues, r&b, tango, flamenco, ballads and others, the only thing I can rule out is Reggaeton and Trap (although there is a possibility that there are some songs from these genres that I do like). But what I like best is when the styles are mixed to generate a new style, which could not be accurately labeled in any category. What I like about music in general and the styles I listen to most often, is the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic complexity. Also, for music with lyrics, I like the complexity of vocal techniques, the registers they can reach, and the content of the lyrics (some look like poems), plus I find it wonderful when artists put passion and talent into their so...

Blog 6: Future postgraduate study

Imagen
Hi! Today I'm supposed to talk about the postgraduate course I want to take in the future.      Actually, I don't have it planned yet, as I mentioned in my previous post " I don't usually plan many things. When I plan something important it usually has unfavorable results, unlike other times when my plans are more vague or I have no plans, and the results are favorable".     I want to have at least one or two postgraduate course, since that way I'd feel better prepared for the job ,  plus, I'd have a better chance in the world of work. I have always thought about taking a postgraduate course in the field of Legal Psychology (Penitentiary or Forensic), and as a complement a course in Psychotherapy (I don't know what approach I want yet, can be cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic or group), because my dream (as I mentioned in the previous post) is to work as a legal psychologist.     Legal psychology changes from...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
Hello, today I'm going to talk about my future work.      It's hard for me to write about this because I don't usually plan many things. When I plan something important it usually has unfavorable results, unlike other times when my plans are more vague or I have no plans, and the results are favorable.       I am currently studying Psychology, but to say that I will be a psychologist is too broad, I will try to narrow it down. At the University of Chile there are about 5 to 7 areas in which we can specialize in psychology, I have more moved closer to the field of Experimental Psychology and Neurosciences and the area of legal Psychology, I am trying to specialize more in the latter (and in therapy), I hope to be able to apply and generate knowledge of scientific psychology in the field of the legal. but saying "I'll be a legal psychologist" is still too broad.      There are several places and ...
