Farewell


This second semester, English class became a little more difficult. Excercises and new vocabulary were definitely harder than first semester…

But I like English, and to learn and practise. Well, afternoons of Friday are not a perfect day, but classes are not unbearable when you are with nice people. And when the teacher knows how to do a funny class So it was great.

I think I need to learn more english words. Most of the times, I can`t say what I want with the word that I need, becouse I don`t know the translation. We usually change the word for one of our own “box”. 

However, writing on my blog, I use to look for this translations at the dictionary, or asking to my classmate, and then I use the new word. I won`t remember the word at the first time, but at the next time, I will have an idea about what does it mean. After several times, I wil keep it on  my box.      

I have to practise on my ear, too! For understand better. I use to identify just some loose words, and I lose the principal idea. In classes we do some excersises about that, with . But when the course finish, I can continue. For example, watching movies without subtitules (Oh, I`m a bad boy). Some friends said that they learn playing video or computer games. That`s a great idea, too. The last opcion is to travel to England… but I can rule out that! ($$$) 

I don`t use my English a lot. Just when I have a conversation with someone, like in jest. In the streets I don`t use to listen or answer questions speaking English. But in summer I want to work on a minimarket, like I did last year… maybe I will need the new words of my box.

Future...


Psychology is a carrer with a lot of posibilities of major. You can work on a lab, or with people on any part of your city, or to have you own surgery.  Besides, you can use different “psychology trends” on each place you choose. It is a science with many perspectives; most knowed are psychoanalysis, behaviorism, the “third force”… but there is a potpourri of diferente ways to abord your work. But, it is important to consider a thing that some people say: “there are investigations” that indicate that it isn’t so important what trend you use on a treatment. There are factors, like the relation with the person, that are even more important. But I`m not sure about that. The thing is you have a lot of places for work, and a lot of perpectives in the same.

I have not  decided where I want to work, nor what perspective I want to follow either. But if I have to say something, I`m interested on a social area… I`m talking about social, community, or clinical psychology. But  “legal” psychology sounds great to. Maybe, I can rule out the investigation, and laboral psychology (I think that to select new workers for any company… is a little bored).  

If you ask me today what kind of job I would like, I could answer that in the last year, there have had a topic that wakes me interest. The issue of mapuche communities. But to work in this specific area has a low probability of concretion… Maybe on a fundation, or through the government. 

To choose a job, it has to wakes me interest. It includes a social interest… Of course, the money has to be enough for living comfortable. On an interview, I could speak about my interests and the things that I`m learning, and which I am participating now.
