Hi friends, today I am going to talk about changes to my study program in dentistry of the University of Chile. In general, the faculty is poorly constructed and organized. In first place, the faculty was constructed by a dentist and not especially by an architect, so the infrastructure and location of things is so bad, ugly and nothing aesthetic. Well, when talking about the courses and the academic workload, I can say that it is very demanding, there are times when we have more than 2 tests a week, or quizzes every day, not counting the homework that they ask for and other things that they do that our time isn't enough. I do not know if you can change something to the training courses, maybe it could change the way the teachers teach us or the information they provide, but I find that the number of courses we have per year are good and the contents too. The subject of the evaluations is very complicated in this university, especially if we talk about “all or nothing” tes...

Hello friends! Today I am going to talk about my summer, my summer plans 😄 Well, I really like to travel to the south of Chile, and this year I will go backpaking to Puerto Montt. I will travel in February, if I can the whole month it would be beautiful. My travel would start in the locality called Cochamó, there is the camping "La Junta". This place is awesome, its a very natural place, and the landscape is most beautiful. Before, I would like to go backpaking to Villarrica, and go around the "route of seven lakes". I want to know the lakes, bathe in them, see new landscapes, go to the hot springs and explore the parks and national reserves that are there. I do not expect to meet anyone on this travel, I will only go with my girlfriend, it will be more a travel of love, if you can say so hahaha, we had planned it months ago. I have in mind to work in January to make money and travel peacefully to the south of Chile, the times I have been I have always b...

Hello everyone!! Today I will tell you about my favorite series, and as the title says it is called Black Mirror. It is a Netflix series, consisting of 4 seasons and various episodes. None of them are correlative, that is, each episode is unique and different and that is the magic of this series. The genre he represents is science fiction and techno paranoia, therefore, each moment of the series is something very mysterious and interesting. This series tries to show us the technological development that could be in some future and how it would affect people, leaving us a moral, if you can say so, which is very interesting. The first 2 seasons were a resounding success, each episode captures you and leaves you perplexed. The other 2 seasons were not so good but I do not say that they are bad, only a few episode are a bit boring. One of my favorite episode is one titled "Shut Up and Dance". This episode left me crazy haha, from the beginning to the end the story is catch...

Hello friends, today I will talk about what you may do in the future. I still have nothing clear but being a Dentist is something I would like to be. Actually the work of dentist is not very dynamic or original to others, you have a consultation or you attend in the public system or if you are lucky in some private clinic. I would like to work in the public system, it is a goal that I would love to achieve. In this place, how hospitals, clinics, etc., we see different realities and types of life, for which I would like to be able to contribute even very little to helping those people with their problems. I do not close myself to have my own consultation, or opt for a specialty or be a zone general, but if I achieve that, it would be very consistent and give community attention to the people who really need it. I wish I could attend somewhere in the open air, but I do not think it is the most appropriate, it would be very nice to have some beautiful view or a nice landscape to look a...

Hello friends! Today I am going to talk about a postgraduate studies. Well, I really like dentistry, because I like to help people in their problems, interact with them and all that involves healing a person. In general, I would be satisfied with only a dentist, but if I have the possibility of choosing a specialty or postgraduate it would be “orthodontist”. I love the perfect smiles and especially that people feel happy for their teeth. In addition, it is almost always young patients who need this type of treatment and I get along better with people younger than for example an elderly person.  The postgraduate I would to like to do it in the University  of Chile , in Santiago of Chile, because this university is the best in Chile, and my home is here, I would stay close. Also, the end of my studies I would like to travel in the south and work there , could be Punta Arenas or Puerto Montt. The orthodontist is a beautiful specialty, It lasts approximately three year...

Hello friends today I will write about a movie entitled "Suffragettte".  I found it too interesting and very good. The film was set in London around 1912. The main plot was about women's rights, emphasizing the right to vote and equal treatment compared to men. The main character Maud, was my favorite, she showed that fighting spirit, had that thought of equality and invited many of her peers to reveal themselves against the system of the time. In the film it was seen how the marches and the squabbles against patriarchy were, the signs of violence against women and the constant struggle. What displeased me most of the movie was the character of Sonny, a very stupid and bad man according to my point of view. I disliked him a lot when he gave George up for adoption, it was really evil. My favorite scene is when Emily death in the racecourse, when the horse impacted her. This scene has a significate very strong, because represent the fight and rebellion of woman...

I'm going to talk about my favorite holidays. These were last year. I went backpacking a month to the south of Chile. My trip started from Santiago to Puerto Montt, a long journey of 12 hours by bus. Upon arriving in the city, I met some friends with what we planned the trip, and we went to visit. First we went to the Cochamo Valley, to the campsite "La Junta". A very beautiful place and where you can do many trekking. It really goes well in that place, it is shared with more travelers and it is fun: D After 6 days in that V alley, the next place to explore was Hornopiren. It is not a very big town but it presents a National Park that is too beautiful. Then we went to Chaiten. To get there, we had to walk a lot, even "hitchhiking" and take a ferry to cross the sea. We traveled in this place part of the National Reserve Pumalin. At the end of the journey we headed to Futaleufu, a wonderful place, where we met the National Reserve and did some very ent...

Hello friends, my name is Diego Berrios and today a writting the first post to the semester. I hope you like it. Well, the country I would like to visit is Peru. I like so much the "trekking", for that reason I would like this country, to know the mountains, walking trails and natural attraction. In Peru there are many places to practice this sport, how Machu Picchu and Vinicunca. These places are very good for "backpacking" and go on vacation . My brother went on a trip to Peru and made the walking trail to Machu Picchu. He talk me that this trekking is very difficult and complicated but it's worth the effort, the view in the top of the mount is exceptional and beautiful.   The next year I plan to go Peru, and try to make the trekking a Machu Picchu. I also want to know Cuzco, especially the mountain called Vinicunca. It is a very fascinated because it is composed of seven colours, is amazing! The road to this place is not so compli...
