I had a great experience learning English at this university, sometimes it took me some of my time to study, but besides that I enjoyed the class, because it was really dynamic and never the same, we watch videos and always got the chance to talk to our partners in class, so we were always practicing the speaking, and learning a lot J

The blogs actually got me thinking sometimes in what to write and how should I express myself in English, but I believe that it really help me to learn how to be a better writer, besides the practice makes the master, so it was awesome that I had to do them regularly. Besides it was really fun because the topics where dynamic, and they were according to our taste!

I believe that I can improve in my speaking, I hope I get the chance, sometime, to go to an English speaking country and be there at least half year to be immersed in the language and besides to get to know a new culture. But for now, I’ll take the last course. that I have to take the other semester, and go from there.

Outside the class I’m using English for everyday things, like watching movies and series (hopefully without subtitles, or with English subtitles), and I always listen to music in English, so I’m always knowing new words. I try to do this more and more, because I’m always afraid of forget the language, and I really like it so I practice as much as I can.

I believe that the phycology’s program has a good base, but there are some subjects that I find unnecessary, at least in the first semester which is the level where I am. One of them is anthropology, I know that it’s a social science too, so we have to learn it, but I really think that has nothing to do with psychology, so I find it completely unnecessary. Also social history of Chile is one of the subjects that I find really interesting but I don’t see the relation with psychology. Also it’s sad that we only have work practice on the last year of the career and nothing before 😞

I that something that really bothers me it's that teacher wait till the last month of the semester to put every test and assignment that we have to do, and I find that super stressful for everyone, us and the teachers that have to check everything. 

In my faculty the infrastructure is very decent, the university built a new edifice recently and the old one has good classrooms and a great library! Besides most of my classes are in a new building that is for all the careers of the campus, and it’s really pretty and you never get cold in there 😁

A thing that I really like of my classes and teachers is that they give the option to do the tests in our house send them to their emails, so we have the chance to think the questions for days and gave better answers that we would do in a normal situation, were we’ll be really nervous.

Regards the teaching methods I think that my teachers are really good ones, and they’re always willing to answer your doubts, besides most of them are really friendly! 

Winter Holidays

Temuco, Chile

In this winter holidays, I'm going to my home town, Temuco, I'm staying at my house with my mom, my grandma and my grandad, I'm super excited of coming back home 💕

I'm not planning anything special for this holiday, I just want to have a calm couple of weeks and relax from all the stress that this semester has been. I want to visit the rest of my family too, I hope I get to see my other grandma, who always cook me super delicious food and it’s amazing! And my aunts, uncles and my little niece! I’m also excited from going out with my dad, we’ll probably be traveling the surroundings of Temuco on the weekends.

I’ll probably chill with my friends, almost all live in Santiago, but I don’t get too see them as much as I would like because we never have time ☹ So we’ll get together and have a great time!

Besides I would love to catch up with my series, I haven’t had time to watch them and I’m super late, so I’ll save some time to watch them!

I would love to go skiing to Villarica volcano with my family, but I don’t know if my dad’s going to have the time.

Villarica Volcano

But mostly, the thing that I really want to do is relax and have a calm holiday, be with my family and get some rest, besides I really miss my family ❤
