Changes to my study program

Today I will talk about the changes that I would like to do in my career (Chemistry). Well, first I want to change the system of the curriculum, because I think that some courses have to be in the same semester (like Analytical Chemistry and its laboratory) and some courses that haven't been in the same semester (like Organic Chemistry and its laboratory). I would change the requirements of the course: "instrumental analysis laboratory" because this course has as a requirement "statistics and data analysis". I think that this course is not necessary to take the instrumental analysis laboratory, the only thing that you need to know of "statistic" is how to get the average and standard deviation. I got behind a year in the career for this reason. Also, I would like to change some "teachers" because some of them don't have vocation to teach to us. In this faculty it's very varied, because I see teachers who loves that the stud...

Personal opinion about some things

Hi everyone, in this blog I'll talk about my opinion to different questions like: What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile?; What is your opinion about tatoos?; What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana and other drugs?; What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases? In first place, I think that the inmigration in Chile causes a lot of discomfort in some people because they say "immigrants come to take away from us job opportunities" "immigrants come to increase crime in our country" and many other stupidities. The Chilean people always complain about something, but I think that inmigrants have every right to come to our country to feel better and have a better quality of life.  Also, Chileans are lazy and immigrants do not take "our jobs", most of them come to work in whatever way they can to support their families. In second place, I like tattoos , not big tattoos, but those that are more discreet an...

Marie Curie

"A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales." Hello to all my classmates and teacher, today I will talk about my favourite scientist: Marie Curie. Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized French physicist and chemist (was born on November 7, 1867 and died on July 4,1934 at 66 years) who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win twice, the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences: physics (1903) and chemistry (1911). She was also the first woman to become a professor at the University of Paris. Her achievements included the development of the radioactivity theory, radioactive isotope isolation techniques, and the discovery of two elements that today are in the periodic table of elements: polonium (Po) and radium (Ra). I admire Marie Curie because I t...

Postgraduate Studies

Hello, in this blog session I will talk about my possible postgraduate studies. This is an important asset when you finish your studies, and  above all when you want to start in a new job. I think that I want in a future do the magister in chemistry to have more opportunities in Chile or abroad. For this master (if you want to do it in "Universidad de Chile") you have to meet the requirements that graduate school has for our community, also you have to go to an interview with the people who leads this master. As I have mentioned in the past paragraph, the requirements are two: 1.- Take one of the following courses compulsory: environmental chemistry, colloid chemistry, chemistry of materials, metallurgical chemistry, medical chemistry subject and chemometrics subject. (I would choose environmental chemistry) 2.-Take the following courses in the specialization area: experimental research unit, theoretical research unit (bibliographic seminar) and formulation of the ...

My future job

Well, in this blog I will talk about my future job. I'm always thinking about what kind of job I would like to have and to be honest, I change my mind constantly. In the future, I would like to have a job involved with forensic chemistry or astrochemical, also dedicate myself to inorganic and analytical chemistry, I am always among these 3 options, and I pretend to travel a lot with any of them.  I imagine these options like an amazing oportunity to grow in the career, and also to grow like a person, be more smart and know even more than we've learnt here in the university. These three options are too different, because two of them are indoor, and one of these options is outdoor. In forensic chemistry, sometimes you've to go to crime scenes and collect evidences and then investigate and draw conclusions in a laboratory. And the million question: What about salary? Honestly I don't care if I win a lot or little money, I want to be happy and good in my job. I d...

My favourite film

Hi everyone! today I will talk about my favourite film: Mulan.  Mulan is an animated film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation in 1998. This film is based on a Chinese legend: Hua Mulan.  Mulan was produced at the Disney animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. Development for the film began in 1994, when artistic supervisors were sent to China to receive artistic and cultural inspiration because the center of the history would be there. The main characters are: Fa Mulan, Li Shang, Mushu and her three friends: Yao, Ling y Chien-Po. The story of this movie is that China was invaded by the Hunos, who breaced the Great Wall. Was there when the Emperor called a man from each family to go to war. The father of Fa Mulan, Fa Zhou would have gone to war because he was the only man of his family. Mulan in her desesperation, took the place of her father and disguised herself as a man so that she could enlist instead of her parent to save China. I lik...

The best concert ever

Well, a few years ago in 2016 I went to a concert in Estadio Nacional and I saw my favorite singer: Rihanna. Robyn Rihanna Fenty is a Barbadian singer that sing different types of music like R & B, pop, reggae and dance, also she is a songwriter, and actress. Born in Saint Michael and raised in Bridgetown. When she came here, I went with my best friend of the school (both were very fans of Rihanna). I remember that we were very excited and anxious so we journeyed early in the morning to do the row. How could I forget? The day that Rihanna came to Chile we had a test of history! and obviously we had to justificate the innasistence that day, we didn't care about anything else. The atmosphere when we were in was so amazing! I was waiting too many years for that day. I sang every song of her new album "Anti", and finally when she sang "We found love" all people went crazy! Everyone was jumping, singing, crying and screaming. That day was unforgettable. ...
