English experience!

 Hello classmates and teacher,

I hope you are well, today I come to talk to you about my experience in the English course at the university.

Well, to begin with, I consider very different the level of English that I usually practiced in my educational establishment, since we rarely spoke in English and I consider that it was a big deficiency not to practice speaking and to give much emphasis to grammar.

However, within the course although with the difficulties of the online modality, in the classes I was in at the beginning I felt that I understood English much more, which encouraged me to practice it on my own, although for personal reasons I have not been able to practice much (but I swear that someday I will do it hahaha). 

I found the blogging modality very entertaining, not only to learn from the mistakes we can make in writing, but it was also fun to know other things about the classmates, since due to the context of the pandemic it is more difficult for us to get to know each other.

I feel that I need to improve my English, but I would like to do it in a place where only English is spoken and it becomes a daily necessity, so I hope to travel at some point to an English-speaking country to reconcile the differences I have in my English level.

These days the truth is that I use English very little, to tell the truth, almost never, only on occasions when in some subject there is a text in English (since political science is mostly Anglo) and by necessity I need to read it, but very rarely outside the student context I use it.

 Hello classmates and teacher, 

I hope you are well, today I come to talk to you about my political science curriculum at the University of Chile!

Well, to begin with, I think that the courses included in the curriculum respond to a wide variety of topics in which political scientists will be involved in our work challenges, so they respond very well to the expectations that may include, however, if I would like a change, where we can learn about more skills and other courses from other careers, in order to be able to welcome more information about the area in which we would like to work later.

I think that for a career as important as political science is, it is well suited to the workload of the courses and the distribution of those in the semesters, however, I believe that more courses are required and with that, a 7-year curriculum including an internship in the area in which you are comfortable.

Due to the pandemic, I have not been able to attend the facilities of the institute of public affairs, although I look forward to the new project of Vicuña Mackenna 20, where it can be seen as a modern building with access to faculty modalities included.

despite the technologies, I believe that it must be accompanied by a face-to-face and traditional process, that technology is a support in that area. In this sense, the teaching methodology should be face-to-face, with the skills that one faces in working life, which of course must be face-to-face.

My future job

 Hello classmates, today I will talk about my future job.

Well I think my job should be related to what I am studying, and I would like to be in the area of decentralization and regionalization, so a dream would be to work in the regional government of O'Higgins, I would like to start in the area where I have lived the years of my life and then, having gained experience, in a ministerial position referred to regionalization.

On the other hand, I would like to go more to the south of Chile and also contribute in my profession to the regions to join a new scenario where they are major players in the development of the country, in this sense, I would like to live in the city of Valdivia in the region of Los Rios.

Another option I am looking for is perhaps to go to work outside the country, in Europe, however, I would like to start in my homeland and then contribute with experience in new locations outside the country.

I believe that this job requires a lot of travel to all corners of the region to know how to make the most of the human and geographical potential of each region.

If we talk about salary, it is preferable that it is over one million pesos, although it is part of an average of the political scientist profession.

Time Travel to the future!

 Hello classmates, 

today I will talk about time travel, and the place where I would like to be is in Chile nine years from now, that is, in 2030, I would like to see the progress that the nation has had and the advances or setbacks that have occurred, being able to visualize the impact I think would give a better initiative to promote faster the changes that are necessary to reverse situations such as world hunger, drought or climate change. In addition to that, to be able to participate in some instance where they seek to visualize this and contribute directly to the changes that are necessary, however, I would not like to stay at that time, as it would only be a small "spoiler" of what is coming for the future.

And in that sense, to be able to return to my current time with the necessary experience to be able to promote the changes that will be required in the future, or some other urgency that occurs later on, such as a possible restructuring of the world political system, a third world war, a new financial system, etc. There are so many possibilities that I can think of that may occur 9 years from now, I feel that the industry has to turn towards a circular economy, promoting from now on that the new needs do not threaten the ecosystem and that if we do so, we would only produce new short-term needs that may not be reversible in time.

 

Post-graduate studies

Hello Classmates and teacher

I hope you are well, I will tell you about my academic projects as well as my work in my field of study.

As the area of political science covers a wide range of development opportunities, my thought in doing a master's degree in political science, specifically in the area of regional development and decentralization. it is a goal for me to enter that area since I consider that this topic is very much in need in the country and therefore requires urgent and also specialized solutions.

In this case, the University of Chile has the mentioned postgraduate degree, so there would be no need to leave the country, however, I would like to visit other countries to collect the experiences they had in the case of decentralization and make a comparative study with the advantages and disadvantages they have with the Chilean system.

Obviously, all this in a face-to-face manner, since I find the experiences acquired in this way necessary to be able to better understand the aspects related to the study of decentralization policy.

All this, I contemplate in my plans of improvement in my area of study, which I think, would be a complement in my area of work, so I would have to acquire work experience in the area of state administration to afford the master and other academic opportunities that may arise regarding the subject.

Tv series

 Hello classmates and teacher, i hope you are well!

Today I come to talk to you about TV series!

Due to studies and the little time I have, I have not been able to be connected watching TV series:(, however, I have wanted to watch the "squid games", which has been commented a lot nowadays and I am intrigued to know what it is about.

To watch the series I prefer to use the netflix platform, although once I hired Disney plus and the truth is that it is still interesting, mostly because there are all the movies of "Star wars" which is one of my favorite franchises.

A TV series that I have seen more than once is "Vikings" one of my favorite series because of the history involved, the landscapes it contemplates and the historical context in which the series takes place, without a doubt I recommend it for anyone who wants to see about Viking mythology.

A series that left me waiting for another season is "Sex education" which is on the Netflix platform, I feel that the end was very unfinished and could develop much more of a story based on the main characters and their love relationship.

See you in the next blogs, greetings!

The best vacation ever!

 Hello classmates and teacher!

welcome back to my blog, today I will talk about the best vacation I ever had!

at the beginning of 2019, in January exactly, together with my family we went to the region of coquimbo, and we were located near the beach "la herradura", it was a beautiful place, its beach despite not being so big, was very quiet and very relaxing to be in the sea, after a few days we went to travel further north, to the "lighthouse of la Serena" and the nearby beaches.

At the end of the week, when it was time to return, we visited the entire coastline, finding some very beautiful beaches and others not so much hahaha, but it was a very good experience.

I remember that it was the best vacation since we shared a lot as a family and we visited many places we did not know, among them a park called "Fray Jorge", a place that on the top of the mountains was like a Valdivian jungle with all the humidity that was there, the flora was impressive.

Without a doubt I would repeat a vacation like this again, however, in another region further south in Chile.

Thanks for reading!
