What’s up everyone??
Today is the last blog of the year, so it’s going to be a little more longer than usually is.
My self evaluation of my academic year 2009
Like every starting school year, you don’t come back to the school with the best of the moods, you start with your laziness at the maximum expression and try to change your life style that you use to have on vacations, because summer is so much relaxing that a normal academic year. You probably take a lot of time trying to catch the new rhythm of this kind of life that is so bored. But this is was kind of my first year on the university so it was a whole new world that I started to know this year.
When you come back to your student duties, you feel awful, you have responsibilities again and in my case I don’t like them all, because I have to study or do the homework in times that you are having so much fun that you have to give away all the fun and start getting your nose into the books. However, when a new student year starts, it brings a lot of new things that make you forget about the boring and tedious stuff, such as new friends, new girlfriends, parties, hanging out with your pals and a lot of things like that. You begin to catch the rhythm of that way of life again, but suddenly, the bad things happen: you have a big test and you haven’t studied yet, so the time is running out and there is a lot of things you haven’t checked yet and you must learn them to get a good mark. So this is how the stress starts to show up, and you become worried and tired the whole time. But in a strange way, you can do all the things you planned after all, you felt that the test wasn’t very hard so you can chill out..
And everything goes on and goes on, and goes on… but seems you don’t learnt the lesson at all, because another test is coming and the same thing is happening.
Well, in conclusion, this was my student year on 2009, I passed all my test, but with this situation, studying at the very last moment, and getting stressful, so I highly recommend, don’t follow my example and try to study every day a little, so you can still go to parties, hang out with your friends without getting all the stress that I had. Oh and I almost forgot, do some sports, because sports play a huge rol on the academic side of the students, they make you relax and be a better student. But anyways, like I said, try to be more responsibile that I was this year, I promise I’ll try the next year too =D.

Physical Therapy keeps improving…
Physical Therapy is a discipline that plays an important in role in the medicine area because is focused on people’s rehabilitation, and every day its advancing more and more. In Chile, new attempts are made all the time to make this career better and better, in fact, the University of Chile recently implemented a whole new system for Physical Therapy that includes improvements in the investigation side where physical therapist now can choose an the science side for their job. This makes these professional better valued on the Medicine area, because the patients wouldn’t have to go to the Physician to get sent to the Physical therapist, so this means a HUGE change in the area, because the Physical Therapists won’t depend on the Physicians anymore. But this is a change that I know that is happening in Chile, but I don’t know what is going on the rest of the world.
I hope that the improvements like this one occurs everywhere more often, because I really like this career, in fact if I keep studying this, I’ll probably get interested on the technologic side of the science specialty, because I’ve always dreamed that people that lose limbs or arms because of accidents can get their bodies complete again with out those prosthesis that makes them look different. So basically, in my imagination I’ve always thought that someone sometime has to create like a bionic or biological prosthesis that makes the people look normal to everyone else, and so the person would feel normal too. But I know this sounds a little crazy for our time, but everything evolves slowly, like one step at the time, and I think that giving Physical Therapists the chance of choosing a way into the medical science can mean a really big change in the future… but anyway, this is my dream =).
But enough of these crazy ideas, lets go to another big, real side of the Physical Therapy, the social way. The Physical Therapist job isn’t only the rehabilitation of the function of the injured parts of the body, they play an important role in the mental health of the patient too. The Physical Therapists are the medicine professionals that spend more time with the patients, so it is inevitable make bonds with the people that you are trying to help, and this makes you as a therapist try to rehabilitate the patients in all the areas, but you know that sometimes this is impossible (and this is when the social way comes) so you help on the mental health of the patient so they can accept that they wont be the same as before so they can live their life again happily and hoping that the accident and the consequences of this fatidic event wont hurt too much to the people =)
Well sorry about this blog, it was hard this time if you think is a little weird, I agree I just wrote what came to my mind =)

Money, money, money…
One of the most important things in this World, sadly is the Money. As you may know, money is the source of movement in the world: people works to get it, you can get things you want using it, or you get your food every day expending money to eat.
In my case, I don’t have money issues gratefully, but it isn’t a thing that I have in excess, so I have to be careful with it. I usually go out with no much money, because I’m always afraid of get robbed by someone and take all the money from me (because I had the bad luck once) so I try to don’t go out with too much money so in case I get robbed I don’t loose to much. For that reason I’m always saving some money so I can get something I really want, such clothes, music instruments or that kind of stuff.
But for going out with not too much money, I usually run out of it too soon and I don’t have a credit card or that kind of stuff, so it’s a problem when my friends want to go to the bowling or to the cinema because I’m not carrying the money to expend the tickets to that stuff, and then I get forced to borrow some cash from them, because they wont let me stay on wherever we are and not going to the “fun” place. The problem with this, is the paying back thing, not because I don’t want to pay back but that I forget to, because I’m always carrying some money on me just in case, and it’s usually enough to pay that kind of favours, but like I said I always forget to pay to the people I owe, so I ask to them to tell me that I owe to them some money, and then there is no problem on paying. In the other way, I usually lend some money too, I don’t have problem on doing it, but I have such a fragile memory and I usually forget how much money did I lend and to whom.
Happily, my friends pay me back as soon as they can, so I don’t have to remember that I lent some money to them, but I may not be that lucky all the time so I have to be more careful about it.
Well this was a little of the money and me =)

Problems of My Faculty
The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Chile
Today I’m going to talk about the faculty where I study. I study Physical Therapy in the University of Chile in the Faculty of Medicine. I really like this faculty because is very beautiful and big, it has some places where you can chill out, study and do some sports, besides this faculty is near the swimming pool where I go and do my training so it’s perfect for me.
But there are some things that I do not like of this place, first of all, this faculty it’s dedicated to form the best Physicians, Physical Therapists, Nurses, Nutritionists, etc of the country, so they work with and for people that need medical help and even though the faculty isn’t implemented for people with problems that need medical help, such as people that can’t walk normally and have problems with going up a simple stair or just people that need of wheelchairs to move from one place to another.
Another problem that I think we have in this faculty, from the students view, are the computers in the library, because there are just a few of them and they are so slow that we call them the Lentiums (or slow-tiums, kind of that =P), so basically that’s a big problem when you have tons of students trying to study and they need a computer to do it, and because if you want to wait for a computer to get free you have to wait like years to get it.
I think there are two of a lot of problems that we can find in this faculty, but I still love it anyway, I’m very proud of studying here, and we will think in ways to improve and fix this faculty, such as parties or lotteries where we can get some money for the cause.

Random theme
Well today the assignment is a random theme, so basically I don’t know what I’m going to talk about yet. But lets see, it’s the end of the week and it has been a very though one, not for the tests or because I had to study a lot but for the amount of work out that I did.
I got tired during the week because I worked out too much my body, such like lifting weights and swimming, making me very tired all the days.
I’m like a sport guy, I like doing a lot of exercise and I a lot of sports, so I’m kind of always active. But from all sports, one of that I like the most is swimming. I usually swim like 3 to 4 times a week only 1 hour each day, because I’m just an amateur in swimming.
I started swimming last year at September or October maybe, till today, but the thing is that I wasn’t very constant with the swimming, because some days I went to swim and some days I didn’t, and that didn’t help me improve my swimming like it would have if I would have swam all the days since September till today. But this year I tried to be more constant and get better at the swim, and for that I started to go to the gym, and do some weight lifting. I started to go the gym on April, and from that time to this day, I have improved a lot, even my own teacher in the gym said it to me so I was very happy =P.
Anyways, like I was saying, I regularly go swimming, and when I can, I go to the gym, but this week I went swimming from Thursday to Friday and I went to the gym those days too, so basically I got really tired with all that exercise, but after all I feel very happy about it, especially because there was a lot of times that I wanted to quit the hard work but I didn’t gave up. And now, I’m glad that my next stop today is home and I will sleep till I can’t sleep anymore because its weekend and the worries aren’t too much =), although I have a big test on Monday, but whatever!, ill rest a lot first =P.
PD: sorry the lack of creativity in this topic, but I didn't know what to write about =/

Where to go
What’s up again!
I was wondering these days where I should take a friend that is coming from a city far away from here and is her first time in Santiago. So I started to figure it out which one are the best places to visit. I wouldn’t take my friend to just one place; I would take her to different places in the day. First in the morning, I would take her to the BuinZoo that it’s a zoo south of Santiago, that it’s very fun because you can feed some animals and get a very close to some of them, the zoo has like a country-side so it’s very peculiar and very nice for starting the day. After that, although don’t know if the same day because it would be exhausting, I would take her to the MIM, that is the Museo Interactivo Mirador, or in english the Interactive Watching Museum where you can do fun experiments and know a little about science in a fun way.
Well that’s a good idea to have some fun, but every trip must have some adrenalin in, so for this I would take my friend to Fantasyland that is an attraction park, where you can find a lot of games and roller coasters where you can find a lot of fun. After that I would take her to have an ice cream in a place that is special but I don’t what’s the name of place but I do know where is it, well the thing is that the ice creams are special because they are natural and exotic flavours so is a nice place to go.
And that’s all I think… oh I forget the night, but I think I tell you the next time, there’s always a restaurant to have a nice dinner, or a nice night club where to hang out =)
Bye!

Music (8)
Music
Well music is a big Word these days, because there are a lot of kinds of music that you can listen. Some people enjoys listening just one kind of music and they show to everyone else what is the style that they like, such a heavy rockers, that are dressed all black with their black T-Shirts and those symbols that they like. Anyways I don’t judge them because their style of music because there are a lot of kinds besides the heavy rockers, such as the reggae people, the hip hop people or even the pop people, but like I said, I don’t judge them because I don’t listen just one kind of music, I like different songs of different styles, some of rock or heavy rock, some of reggae or pop, but I don’t listen just one kind of music. However, there was a time that I was a heavy rocker headbanging on every concert that I went to. It was pretty fun but suddenly I started to get bored of listening to the same songs with the same themes that they talk all the time, and then was when I listened to different styles of music. Reggae caught my ears, because it was so much different of metal or heavy rock, and it made me feel a lot relaxed. That kind of music made me chill out a little bit, so I started to listen more kind of music, and from that day I didn’t pick just one type of music but a lot of them. Now I don’t see what type of music is, but I see if the song likes me or not, so basically you can find in my Ipod from Bob Marley or UB-40 to some of the best rock bands from all times such AC/DC or Guns’n’Roses, and you can find songs of the 80’s and 90’s too, because I keep a lot of classic songs on my lists.
So… in conclusion you can say that I like different styles of musics and a lot of classical songs =)
