Hi, i´m bored

Well, to be very sincere this activity has not seemed quite funny to me, in fact I found it quite boring. Something that seems important to me to emphasize, is that this activity has served me to improving my writing, and I believe that my companions have also helped them. Now that this language has become fundamental to perform professionally, it is essential to know how to speak it, and the first step to this is to improve the quality of writing. What I would like in the future is that students can choose the theme of each blog, as it has been in the last activities. It seems good to me that a minimal amount of words is required for each blog, but it seems unnecessary to have to comment on each other´s blog, I do not see what is the objective of that. Despite how boring it has sometimes been, I am grateful for an attemp to innovate with this type of initiative, and I believe that we must continue to try new things to enhance learning. I am not saying that this activity is a mista...

I did not really plan my holidays (winter), because I do not even know when I will leave university, but with some friends we wanted to go to the snow, probably to  the reservoir "El Yeso", although we have not decided yet. Something I have to do is go and look after my uncle´s apartment for a week. Maybe I will go to the beach for a few days with my mom too, to rest a bit of the city.  Something that is 100% is that I will sleep a los on  mi holidays, because the university left me destroyed this semester. I really do not have many plans for the holidays, because I have not though about it, because there is still enough time, and I haven´t time to think in this. I also think the best holidays are those thar are not planned in advance, the  best things come out at the same time. When I went south for the first time, we decided it very quickly, and I think those were the best vacations I´ve ever had. So I hope that these winter holidays will surprise me with any ni...

What is my favourite subject? I haven´t doubt answering this question, because definitely my favourite subject is Cellular Phisiology. I have always liked things related to biology, and I always knew  that I would study something related to this. But there is also a subject that I hate with all my soul, and it is Calculus. The phisiology classes are quite extensive, and the professor gives a lot of information. Unfortunately I can´t attend to this class, because the chemistry seminar is on the same schedule, and I can´t miss to this. For this reason, this subject has become a little more difficult, but I still like it a lot. During this semester we have seen a lot of contents, for example receptors and cellular communication, and my favourite part has been the neuronal phisiology. I like this subject, because is too interesting and useful for my career, and I would like to be able to apply it to the future. This is not a simple subject, but in spite of this I like a lot, and I wo...

Well, this site is not specifically my career, but it has helped me a lot in a subject called "Research for the Pharmaceutical Sciences"; this site is called PubMed, and the link is www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/. This site is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database; is a very useful tool for the search of papers, which is the main use I have given. Lately I have visited this site a lot, because I had to prepare a report based on the paper I will find, about changes in the pharmacokinetics of vancomicyn in burn patients. To search paper, you have to enter keywords in the search engine, and a large numbers of papers will appear, begin able to use filters to do a more specific search. I found papers that are really very interesting, and how they are write in English, I could understand better this language, and that´s why I like this site. It is a very interesting place where every day you can learn new things, related to science, and as a chemistry and ph...

I do not have many hobbies, but I like ping pong and cycling. My whole life I have been riding my bicycle, especially in the mornings. I have not been able to do it for a long time, because I have very little time, but I still like it. I like to ride a bike in the Bicentennial Park, of Cerrillos obviously because I live there, not in Vitacura.  Pin pong is a sport I hated when I was in the school, because it was very difficult for me, but this changed radically when I went to university. Last year I played by chance again after a long time, and I realized that I did not play as badly as before, I even played well. Now, I tried to play with my friends once time in the week, usually on Fridays.  I like ping pong, because it is a game that requires a lot of agility and patience. Besides, it is one of the few sports that I like to practice. I like to play ping pong in the Faculty of Medicine, because there the ping pong tables are very good and there is a lot of space; but in...

I really do not know who took the picture, but I really like it. This photo shows an awesome thunderstorm in Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, in March 2015. This time, the electrical storm affected much of the central Chile, especially the coast of Valparaiso region, and it was very strong and beautiful (at least for me).  The image of the rays falling to the sea is very striking and beautiful at the same time.  Since I was little i have liked all kinds of natural phenomena, however dangerous they may be, they do not scare me. I think that all the manifestations of nature, however potent they may be, are something to be enjoyed. I also love the images of erupting volcanoes, especially the eruption of the Villarrica volcano in 2015, but as the professor talked about volcanoes I could not choose the same theme. Nature is the only thing we can not fight, we just to have to adapt, and respect her.

Well, it is a difficult question, that´s why I did not vote for this topic. I like a lot of bands, especially Coldplay and U2, but this time I will choose U2. This is a rock band and was formed in 1976 and consist of: Bono (vocalist), the Edge (guitarist), Larry Mullen Jr. (drummer) and Adam Clayton (bassist).  Why I like this? Because it´s a band that has managed to stay in force despite having 40 years on the stages and have songs that have a very deep lyrics and difficult to match (for example where the streets have no name), and also obviously for the interpretive quality of each one of its members. The voice of Bono is not as good as when he was young, because in his best years he had a very powerful voice, but still can reach very high notes despite his age. The albums of this band are very good, but I prefer to see and listen to them on Youtube on live, because the songs are much more powerful as well. The U2 360ª Tour has been bigger of all the history, and also was the t...
