MUSIC

Music is not very important in my life, because y can spend a lot of time in silence, thinking about anything or just reflecting. Sometimes I listen orchested or classical music when I study, because it pacifies my spirit and I can concentrate when I need to study. In other context , for instance, friend meeting or family meeting I prefered to stay without music to talk about different interesting things.

When it comes to social life , parties for instance , I prefer dancing music, colombian, central american music in general because is more apropiated to dance, although I don't consider myself as a good dancer, I try to keep the rithym in order to spend a good time with my husband and friends.

I love ballet, but I never had aptitude to learn how to play music or to dance for that matter, if I had, I would have liked to play in chamber orchestra, in an important theatre with a big audience.

Even though I don't have music as an important thing during my regular routine, I enjoy going to concerts, music there makes me feel very good, it moves me and makes me be in touch with my emotions.

I can't imaginate life without music, although is not very important to my, but I am aware that in most of the fields of ordinary life is very important: movies, theatre, and because I am a great cinema and theatre fan, I enjoy music in that context.

POST 2. A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

I would like to go to China, because I think is a very different culture and I find it very interesting. It is the most populated country in the world; and the way they have developed differnt tecnologies that we still use, like the print and guns, also gun powder.

I know it is very far away, but I think is worth going there, I would like to see the great wall, and learn more about their history.

It has always come to my attention the fact that they, as a culture, don't know much about their own history, mainly because they don't have access to this information.

I also like the food, I think it will be nice to walk in a market and fell the scent, all the different smells and flavors you could find there.

But I would like to see the cities with locals, they are the best guides I belive, because they know all the good spots to visit, and also the turistic places.

I find very nice the fact that they use the bicycle to move around the city, I think is very healthy and also very ecologic.

GOOD AND BAD POINTS

During this past semester, my staudies were very motivating for me, bacause, now that I'm on my fourth year I have a better idea of the speciality I like better. There for, all my classes were related with the clinical area and I felt very comfortable with the experience of trying to understand the patients.
At the beggining of the year I had to face an important challeenge, because someone offered me a job that it was possible or me to do from home, considering this I took it, and these experience has been very interesting.
I hardly had free time, and my family time was all about my four chiledren and their own life as students and of course they spend a lot of time in that, just like their mom.
I don't really have a hobby like sports or arts, I do watch some soccer matches with my son though, specially during this time of my life I'm devoted to my studies and current job.
I have also started my own business, and it has been harder than I though!
But I'm very happy with my life right now, I like the challenge and not knowing how things will turn out, hopefully everything will be all right.

POST 3 : TRANSANTIAGO > BEFORE AND AFTER

In my opinión public transportation pre- Transantiago used to be better than earlier times of Transantiago, because the launch was a lot of trouble, that apeared when the users started to use it. People that planned the system didn't consider a lot of aspects, mainly the route's desig and the number of people that would use it at rush hours.

All this changes are dificult for the users. In my opinion, the most important thing was to learned to use the "bip" card, because, coins ware always in our pocket, and the card needs a special way to charge it with money. But now we have incorporated this fact and this is not longer a problem.
Another important change is the obligatory stops in especefic places. Before, in the old system, drivers could stop in different places when people need it, now they are obligated to stop in oficial bus stops. But now, the users are getting used to this new system and they use it without any problem, except older people who have had a lot of difficulties trying to use this new system becouse it is complicated for them, like the cashier machine, or computing tecnology.

In the future could be an optimized paying system, because bip card is easy to be lost and sometimes is difficult to charge it with money, then, there could be a system like car's tag for instance, that can be payed from the internet.

"About interesting career-related topics"

Law Psychology
This is an intresting area in Psichology, because alouds us to understand how our carrer is raleted to the way things are one in the Law's world.
With the latest modifications of the punishment law, I could see that the importance that is been given to the victims is, by far, much more than it used to be. I think that is the main reason why I like it so much.
And also because it considerates the accused first as a person, considerating his personal issues, and help the other to see what was going on his mind at the moment that he acted with a behavior that is not alouded.

"Recommended Web sites in my Area"

1. http://www.apa.org/

This is one of the most important Institutions related with the psychology world. The American Psychological Association’s website contains many recent publications on several topics such as clinical psychology, experimental research, etc.

Another very important feature of this website is The Manual of the American Psychological Association, this publication is basically a set of rules and guidelines which are there in order to help and guide another publishers to elaborate their own papers and studies.

2. http://www.freud.org.uk/

This is another important and interesting website ... the idea of the site is the it seem to be Freud's house, but converted into a virtual museum.
You can visit the first floor, where is located the analytic coach of her daughter, Anna. In this website you can find the Landing, in there, are two portraits of Sigmund, one by Ferdinand Schmutzer, and the other by Salvador Dali. In the ground floor are placed the study and library.

Last weekend I went to our little house in the countryside, located in Maria Pinto, with my family. We went there because it was my nefew’s ferewell party, she and her children are going to New Zealand, so we don´t know for how long we will not see them.
It was a really nice day, we cook, eat and laugh a lot.
Two of my sisters in law are graet cookers, so they work all the morning, and it was amazing how great it all turned up.
We took a lot of pictures, all the children play toghether. It was the most perfect day.
