POST GRADUATE STUDIES

Imagen
  I'm still trying to graduate from undergraduate so postgraduate studies sounds like something far away, however i do not exclude the possibility to continue studying, in fact i would love to. My main reasons to continue graduate studies are many, i think that there will always be new and unique things to learn about each area, especially in health, therefore we have a responsibility to provide new knowledge and that is achieved by being specialists in the subject we want. Many topics come to my attention, if I think of a specialty i love clinical pharmacy or forensic chemistry, now if i think of a doctorate i would love pharmacology, biochemistry or pharmaceutical sciences. I don't know very well how the topic of postgraduate studies works, I haven't researched about it, but i know that Chile is well positioned in the scientific area around the world, with good professionals and good research (even when there is no money to finance projects) so it is a good country to co...

My future job

Imagen
  I would like to have a job where i can learn new things every day, it's a good idea to learn more about a profession like pharmacy. The truth is that i would like to work in many areas, calls my attention laboratories, clinical pharmacy and hospital pharmacy. I would enjoy working in a quiet area, doing more methodical and theoretical work. I don't know if my career would allow me to travel constantly but if i had the opportunity i would, i have no problem with traveling for a job to the far south or the far north of the country and who knows outside the country. This year i did my intermediate practice, my plan was to do it in the Talca Hospital because i am from there but i could not because i was required to talk to many people, send emails and they never answered me. I understood then that it was a very difficult area to access but not impossible.  The truth is that i do not know the salary of this area specifically, only by comments i have heard that i could live com...

My career: Chemistry and Pharmacy

Imagen
  Why did i choose my career? Important and difficult question because it’s what i’ll be working for the rest of my life and what being very young determines your future. When i was a child i remember that i received books as a gift, toy medical kits, magnifying glass because i liked to see ant walk among other things. That’s why i wanted to be a doctor, a veterinarian or a researcher.   In high school i’m very interested in science, biology and chemistry mainly, i remember that with my teacher we listened to scientific talks and made us do research projects, enjoyed it. After the PSU my options were biochemistry, medical technology and chemistry and pharmacy. Finally, i decided on the last one because i’m interested his labord field. Studying chemistry and pharmacy at the University of Chile has been a difficult process, a lot to study, and difficult subjects, but my motivation is to help people. I enjoy when, for example, my grandparents ask about a m...

 The best movies: Joker   The truth is that i don´t watch many movies i prefer to watch series, i usually watch movies by recommendation this is how i got to the movie Joker . The film caught me completely from the first scene. “Joker” is a melodrama that develops around Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) a mentally damaged character who has suffered a trauma and experiences a violent catharsis. The central act is when Arthur confronts two drunk men who were bothering a woman and he kills them. Fleck only wanted to finish with those who had hurt him. Enjoy seeing how the greatest villain of all time became that. The temporality of history shows us that we are not so far from fiction and that kept me thinking for days. The scenery, costumes, music, color palette and of course the super performance of Joaquin Phoenix create a dark atmosphere of anger and melancholy. I saw the Oscar awards ceremony this year where Joker competed against Parasites as best film, i still don't und...

My best holidays: Bariloche

Imagen
  In 2016 i had my best vacation, the truth is that the trip was my school trip after finished the high school. We went to Bariloche, Argentina for a week and returned to Chile through Pucon where we accommodate for two days more.  We traveled with all my class and my favorite teacher, of course my best friends to this day also traveled and that is the reason that i choose this trip as my best vacation. We did many activities such as horseback riding, ice skating, visiting a chocolate factory, seeing beautiful landscapes and of course "carreteamos" six of the seven days we were in Bariloche. Bariloche is a beautiful place that combines all the south with rivers of crystalline waters, giant forests and strong rains. The city is small, it's just a main street but very long. On the sides are many stores for tourist souvenirs and many stores for chocolates, of all kinds, of all flavors and all prices. It's the best chocolate i've ever eaten, in fact i spent a lot of...

Where to travel? Denmark!

Hi! my name is Javiera  and if you ask me which country would you like to go to? I don't know what to say, because many places come to my mind, however i would like to travel and live in Denmark. I am in love with the landscapes, their villages and the way people live. Did you know that it is the happiest country in the world?  I  need that  lif e . The fundamental idea of Danish culture is that of the "hygge" . This word refers to a feeling of comfort and well being for the simple things in life. Denmark is characterized by medieval villages and charming fishing ports so i would enjoy visiting all those places, visit medieval castles like Frederiksborg Castle or Kronborg Castle and the town of Riber as a safe destination. I would definitely like to live in Denmark, i  cou ld  go to  work   and  ba ck by bike, work 37 hours a week and enjoy of  th e natura l scenes , it would be a challenge to learn the Danish language but i woul...
