My last blog!!!

Hello, I'm here again. And I'm very happy because this is my last blog!!

No, I'm not happy because I hate doing blogs. The thing is that in the first semester of this year I've done English 3 once, and I failed it, because during the students movilizations I stop coming, and my attendance makes me fails.
But it doesn't matter, the good notice is that, apparently, this time I'm going to pass!!
I have to say that I miss the school, I miss my classmates, my home, my city, have to walk only 8 minutes to arrive in my school!! I miss my old teachers (it doesn't mean that I don't like my new teachers, of course), my old subjects... This year (especially this semester) has been very stressful, I think that I can say that I have never been so stressful in all my life.
I think the food is a very important factor, because, when I was in my house, I arrived and I could eat the delicious food that my grandmother cooked. Now, there are many times when I don't have nothing of food!! I'm very disorganised with things like that, but I think that I'm good with the mantention of the order and the cleanliness.

I subject I enjoyed!!

Hello classmates, today I'm going to tell you about my favorite subject on this semester.

My favorite subject was Basical Psychologycal Processes, with Juan Wilson as the teacher.
The methodology of the classes was, basically, speak and discuss about the contents of the course: emotions and motivations of people. We spoke about why people do what they do, from their extrinsical to intrinsical motivation, and then we spoke a little about the emotions and how they can motivate the behavior. This was based in the book "Motivation and Emotion". I don't remember the name of the author, but his surname is Reeve.
Also, we discussed about the attachment theory. This psychoanalytic theory emphasises the link of a little child with his/her attachment figure, and how the quality of this relation can concern the mental and social development of a person. This theme was based in the book "A secure base", and his author is John Bowlby.
I specially liked this subject because I think now I have more tools to understand the people's behavior and their particular forms of being. This is a very useful subject for the practice of the psychology, specially for the clinical psychology.

An expert I respect

Hello everybody, today I'm going to tell you about a person that I respect and I think I admire in the present... My teacher... Juan Wilson.
I don't really now very much about his life... I just now that he's married and he has children, but not exactly how many children or some things like that (I know it because in the first class he told us a little bit about his family and his career).
He's actually a teacher in Universidad de Chile, of the subject "Basical Psychological Processes", he's a psychologist and Doctor in Psychology. He counts with a Master of Science, of the Southern Illinois University, from United States, and he's a specialist in interpersonal relationships. He has made a lot of investigations and publications related to this theme and some others.
I think I admire him because his charm and his knowledge... He can always explain us the contents of the course very clearly and in a practical way, so you learn very quickly, with no mistakes or confusions in your mind!! (and for me, that's very admirable).
I think if I had to go to a psychologist in the future, he would be one of the principal candidates to have me as his patient.

A band I like: Super Junior

Hello everybody, I'm gonna tell you about a band I like so much... Super Junior.

Super Junior is a pop South Korean band, actually composed by 11 members. Its debut was on 2004, and in present, they're in a stop, because the most of member are in militar service, until 2018.
I like this band because I like "the asian product" very much. When I was a little girl I used to see a lot of japanese series, and then, I started to listen to asian music.
Its music it's so variable and I like it so much, because you never get bored.
They came to Chile in 2012 and I went to see them, I was so excited because I have never though I could see them in live, because they live away from here.
I think my favorite song of Super Junior is "Sexy, Free & Single", not because of the tittle hahaha. I like this song because it's a very happy and motivated song, it makes me dance everytime I hear it, and I don't dance so much... if you can understand what I say.

My favorite photography

Hello everybody, today I'm gonna tell you about my favorite phtography, and here it is!!

This photo was taken by my mother, about 2 years ago, in a street from Santiago (I don't remember the name now) the little one at the left it's me and the other person is my boyfriend (I know you're going to think that I'm "cursi", but it doesn't, at least... Not too much).
It was taken after a concert of a orchestra from Santiago. My boyfriend played in that orchestra in that year, and it was the first time I went to see him (he plays the trumpet).
I know that my mom took this photo because she's naughty, but I think that is really pretty and cute!! I like this photography because of it, I remember some things of the past and I feel nostalgic, and today, I love to see it again and again... I think I feel peaceful and protected.

My favorite piece of Technology

Hello everyone, in this entry I will tell you about my favorite piece of technology... My cell phone!!

A year ago, my mom gave me my cell phone because a thief stole me the older one. I use my cell phone for almost everything that I need everyday. I use it to study, to read, to watch videos, to listen to music, to speak with other people, to take photos, to surf on the Internet, and many other things. I use it too much, I think. Everyday, every hour, specially when I receive a message, or to see what time it is. I'm afraid to get short sight or something like that. My family have always warned me about it.

I like my cell phone because it's little (with all that functions inside), and because the battery lasts a long time.

I think if I didn't have my cell phone, I would feel incommunicated with the others, and probably, I would feel bored everytime.

Why did I choose Psychology?

Hello classmates, today I'm going to tell you about my reasons to choose Psychology as my future job.

When I was a child, I never thought about what I wanted to study, I just thought that I wished to be a princess of the fairy tales that I knew. I liked animals (and in the present too) so I think that I could have wanted to be a veterinarian, but I'm not sure.
Since I was on the 7th grade of secondary school until the 2nd grade of high school, I wanted to be an English teacher, but the things changed when I realised that I wasn't very patient to teach. Then, inspired in the vocation of my mom (she's a midwife) I decided to study medicine, and then I wanted to specialize in kids, pediatrics.
But the things changed again... when I was in the last year of school I realised that I didn't like the sciencie. I mean, the biology, the laboratories, etc. So I decided to choose a career that involves the vocation to help people (relation with health), but involves a humanist character too. And then there was the Psychology.
When I applied to the University, I considered just Psychology (on different educational institutions) and a career related to music, because it's another thing that I love to do. But in the end, I was selected in what I wanted, the career and the University, so my family was very happy and, of course, me too.
My experience in the University has been good, because I like the career, the teachers, the classmates, the building... Everything!! Except some subjects of the first semester, because of their too "introductory" character.
In the future, I would like to work in a helper asociation, like Coaniquem. I want to help people to get over that bad experiences of their lives, and then, they could help another people too.

Welcome to my autobiography!!

Hello everyone :) as you know my name is María José, and I'm going to tell you some things about my life.

I was born in Rancagua and my birthday is on the 8th of January of 1998, so I'm 18 years old. I have lived all my life in Requínoa, a little town near to Rancagua.
When I was 3 years old, I went to a kinder garden called "Divino Corazón". After a year, I started my student's life in the Liceo San José of Requínoa (in the school year of pre-kinder), and I continued in this school still the last school year, the fourth year of High School. Then I was selected in the University of Chile and I started to study Psychology, in the present year.

The members of my family are my parents, my grandparents, my little brother and my pets (3 cats and a dog). My parents are divorced so I live with my mom, my brother and my grandparents (and my pets, of course). We all have lived in Requínoa and in the same house for all our lives.

I like music so much, as the languages and the animals. My entire family are musicians so I can play the guitar and the violin very well since I was a little girl, and I like to sing too. When I'm bored (and when I'm alone) I like to watch karaoke videos in Youtube, so I can sing different type of songs that I like.

Now I'm lived in Santiago because of the University, but when I'm in my house in Requínoa I like to play with my dog and strike my cats (they love that!!).

Ejercicio

Hello! How are you? My name is María José Guajardo (but you can call me Cote) and I'm in my first year of Psychology. I have to say that I like english very much since I was a little girl, in fact, I wanted to study English at first, but the things changed, as you see. I like the lenguages in general, because for me it's very interesting to have so many different "ways" to comunicate with each other, in each part of the world. I think I like the English because was the first that I learned.
I listen to music in English everyday, and I always watch movies dubbed in Spanish, so I don't watch movies in English often, but when I go to the cinema, for example, I prefer watch them in English, with subtitles.
I think the most difficult of English is the speaking, because the pronunciation always fails for me. To surpass that difficult I think that my solution is the practice. So much practice.

That's all!
