My future job

Personally, I think that is hard to say what one is going to be in the future because there is not absolute control of what is going to happen… but I think all we can decide what we want to do in the future, so I did.

At this moment I am studying Psychology, so you can think that I want to be a psychologist, but I have to say that being a psychologist is not my only pro plan in future. I love Physics since I was starting high school and even now, studying a social science, my attraction to Physics has not decreased at all. After studying Psychology I want to study Physics in the Faculty of Sciences in U de Chile.

Being a psychologist while I study physics is what I want to do. I want to be working at an university doing research on psychophysics, an area of psychology that involves the physic properties of stimuli and their effects on perception. Also I would really wish to be able to have a postgraduate degree on quantum mechanics and do research in this area.

Both of them seem to be very different and even incompatible, what means that maybe I will have to decide for one or another. A difficult decision, but I hope I will be able to work and live in the both areas of knowledge. 

A tiny review of “Inside job”

I am not the kind of person who watches a lot of movies or documentaries, but I had the opportunity to watch a piece of the documentary “Inside job”. Although I only watched a few minutes and the trailer, I would definitively recommend you to watch it.

Why?

Well, I would recommend this documentary because it narrates a very complex episode that occurred just a few years ago: the global financial crisis of 2008. Considering that this film shows us a lot of things that happened mainly in the USA, there is a topic that was very interesting for me and that could be for you too: the rising of the debts in families and the cost of education in the USA.

Concerning the financial crisis of 2008, the average debt of the families in the USA raised in order to afford their financial needs, even at the cost of sacrificing their health budget or their children education. Also the cost of university rose up to 10,000 dollars annually if I do not remember wrong, which are only a part of all the consequences of this global financial crisis.

I recommend this film because it shows some of the effects of a financial crisis that crossed the whole world and tries to tell us about not only the reality beyond our eyes about what happens in the financial world but what happens to people like us in our daily life.

The best concert/holiday I've had

I haven’t been to many concerts, just one or two, but I’ll never forget the holidays I had in 2011 during summer. Thus, I want to tell you about these unforgettable holidays:

In February 2011, when I was 15, I went with my parents to Vicuña in Coquimbo Region. There was living my older brother who had left my house a few years ago. Me and my family took two buses and travelled on them for more than twenty hours:  around twelve from Puerto Montt to Santiago, seven from Santiago to La Serena and an hour from La Serena to Vicuña.

After that long trip I finally arrived to my brother’s home. 

Once there I was invited to his wife’s mother’s house and stayed there a few days, days I’ll never forget.

There I saw the night sky as I had never done in my life: I used to stay in the middle of a backyard, where you can’t see beyond a few meters. 

 

Under the moonlight I saw the stars in the sky and there I realized about the immensity of the universe and all that remains undiscovered.

That sky told me many things every night I remained looking at the stars: many secrets that shouldn’t been told to anyone.

Playlists from my life

You start remember old times when you listen to a song you used to listen on a walkman or played on an instrument? That's because music is there as a companion, as a remember, even as a background soundtrack in certain episodes of our lives.

If I start remember some songs from a few years ago, I can't forget about music I've listened when I was 14 or 15 years old. An example of an important song for me is "Vive", from Nach on it's album called "Un día en suburbia". It tells three stories about people that would like to come back in time and enjoy life as they never really did so.

Now I remember a particular song that many times make me feel identified not only with it's lyrics but the whole song from beginning to the end: Das Alte Leid. A part of the song says: "By the same thing and the old pain; I finally think...". That, for me, refers to a mistake or a vice that you can't leave that easy. That sometimes happens to me.

I use to remember songs automatically when I remember other moments in my life. I wouldn't believe at the first time if someone tells me that music has no place in it's life...

Personally, music is there and I can't ignore them.

I'll post below some of the songs I've mentioned:
