Changes to my study programme

9th Entry - Changes to my study programme

As far as I know, a lot of changes were made with the new study programme, and as I am just a freshman, I can't say much.

Something I noticed is that the faculty facilities have trouble covering the huge amount of students we are. For example, the laboratories don’t have enough microscopies, the Aula Magna capacity sometimes is just  too small to all the students, etc.

However, not everything is bad; the workload isn’t excessive (my cousin lives in France, and she has to do homework until 12.00 pm almost everyday), the teachers are fine and so are the classes.

The use of technology is, at least for me, a point of pros and cons: I think is amazing (I‘ve seen my partners using programming tools) but sometimes it’s a bit tedious (by the way, I find great the writing of blogs. Making reports sounded like a hell for my older friends).

All the changes I would do are minor things, as increasing the delivery of study material by the teachers, or the improvement of the use of the faculty spaces, like the back yard of the library, or the space next to the classroom bathroom. And maybe, replace some teachers (I know it sounds very ugly) who all I heard of them is that they are a bit prepotent and burlesque.

Certainly I still need to know more of the faculty to tell what we need to change, but this is my final diagnosis.

Summer Holidays

8th Entry - Summer Holidays

This summer all I want to do is rest. I’m getting very tired, mentally and physically.

I want to take a break from everything, and relax.

Also, I’m taking part of an activity called “Trabajos Voluntarios FECH”. We’re going to Curepto, to work in a several places around. Some of my friends enrolled themselves too, and we’re all excited.

If the money wasn’t an issue, I would like to go to Canada, or England, ore ven Spain, but being realistic, the furthest place I’ll go probably it will be the supermarket.

As everyone knows, the end of the year is very stressful (at least for me it is), and that why I want to pass the –short– holidays we have with my friends and my family. I missed this year so much my father because he lives in Valparaíso and I can see him every two or three weeks. Also, spend some time with my mother, because she works very hard and I can see her only at night, when she arrives from work and I arrive from the university.

I’m thinking to start going to the gym, maybe learn to drive… The only certain thing I can recall is that I’ve got a very short time and a lots of plans.

I couldn’t see very much my friends while I went to the university this year. Definitely, this holidays I’ll go to see, catch up and just hang out with them.

I think I'll travel to the north, or the south, I haven't decided yet.
