My Carbon Footprint







Honestly, I'm not very green person, although that the ecology and the preservation of the environment are topics that interest me.
Ecologies practices are learned from various locations, notably the family, school and media. I think it is important generate reflections on this subject in order to contribute to the construction of public policies that displayed this topic and the catastrophic consequences of not taking care of our ecology
When I take drinks or beers I always prefer to opt for recyclable packaging alternatives, they besides being more cheap, not cause much damage to our environment.
Also I try not to use plastic bags and put things in my backpack.
I think these small details can make a big difference in preserving our environment. For example, it is also important that we close very well all the faucets, in this way the water is not lost unnecessarily.
I prefer to use my bike, but I must admit that my reason is not caring for the environment, rather bother me a lot the buses and the subway. My reason is that I love riding my bike, especially in the hours peaks.
I don't participate in one eco-organization. Is easy to us all that others do things.
As I said, I have not done great things to reduce my carbon footprint and preserve the environment, but I believe that small acts are important .
To have a real awareness about this issue, we must realize the importance of the destruction of the system. We must realize that is an issue that affects us all and is not as far as it seems.

Career Opportunities

When I was at school I wanted to study basic pedagogy, but in those days my family convinced me about the instability of the race, they would tell me that teachers are not respected and that their salary is very low.
Continually wonder how my life would have been if he had studied basic pedagogy, I think it would be a good teacher because I like to teach people and learn from them, I think we are all always learning.  I would have liked to innovate in techniques in the learning and promote processes of change in schools, but the truth is I do not regret my career because I can also do that from the educational psychology.
When I imagined studying pedagogy I thought study at the UMCE, better known as the "pedaogico." I love this university because it specializes in pedagogy and because it has beautiful pastures (still did not know my beloved Juan Gomes Millas)
Sometimes I think I can still studying pedagogy as a second university degree (when I'm not hating college and study). I do not want that you think that I do not like my career, I'm happy I studied psychology and I think that the amplitude of the race can do a lot.
But I think the pedagogy also I had been a good option for me and I would sometimes (only sometimes) I regret having followed the advice of my family.

Ad men use brain scanners to probe our emotional response

Today I will write on an article published in www.guardian.co.ukabout the technology to the publicity. The article is very interesting.
Some brands of big companies are using to mind-reading technology to help them develop products and create adverts that people like. The article tells how traditionally are made Focus group ​​for this purpose, but some people lie in their statements and makes the job harder.
With This technology the answers have a much higher level of reliability, and advertisers can know the impact of publicity given to the person's brain.
The company is called NeuroFocus and has worked with companies like Google, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, PayPal, Hewlett-Packard and Citigroup, but refused to provide details of adverts or products involved, but gave no details of products or advertisements involved.
Gemma Calvert, tells how companies have changed the color and style of their logos and brands on basis of these investigations, understand their customers better.
The article mentions as the industry NeuroFocus has grown, a researcher in the area said "The industry is growing well in Excess of 100%.
Undoubtedly, this technological advances generate will a revolution in psychology, beyond the advertising work can generate all kinds of research on perceptions of people whit different types of stimuli.

my favorite music

The music is very important for my because when I listen music I relax and can think and study more easily.

I like the music in Spanish, I think that's why I'm so bad for the English, my friends tell me I should listen to some groups in English, But I'm too lazy for that. I like rock bands Chilean or Argentine as “Los prisioneros”, “Los tres”, “bersuit Vergarabat”, “Soda Estereo” and some others. I enjoy the letters of the songs, so I do not like much when I do not understand that they say.
I first started listening to the music I like now from very very small, because my older brothers listened to this music all day. They did not let anyone change their songs and so I was delighted to his lyrics and rhythms.

Is difficult for me to choose the most favorite of all the bands I like, I think my preferences are in stages. In this moment is Kevin Johansen. Kevin Johansen is the best and my favorite song is "intellectual cumber" I like this song because its lyrics are very funny and has a very good sound.

I love FACSO

The first time I visited my faculty (FACSO) I did not like, I found it in low light, some dark and I think that the same time I fall in love with another university, Santiago University; I thought that was the college of my dreams and this was the perfect place for study. But soon I began to see the wonders of my Faculty and charm of its spaces and its people.
My favorite place of FACSO is the bridge, as it is the meeting place during breaks, where I talk whit my partners with which I have not classes together. I also love the staffs that are always very friendly and talkative. 
I do not like the fourth-floor rooms because are very hot! I do not like the place where make it photocopies and my classmates call "La lata" because always take too long in them ready. But that the most disturb me is the library, do not Understand Why Some People are going to talk to this place and make it impossible to study.
The truth that the best thing to study in FACSO is be on in campus Gomez Millas. I love grass (even more land than grass), I love being with my friends here and share a beer.

The country of my dreams

My biggest dream after the university is to travel around Latin America. I would like to know Mexico, Ecuador, Brasil, Costa Rica, Argentina, Peru,  Bolivia and all those wonderful countries.

My idea is to travel and learn until I get bored or I run out of money. I am interested in these countries because their culture is very impressive and beautiful.

 I’ve been to Peru and Bolivia, but I would love to return and stay longer to really know people.

I am not interested in studying immediately after I finish my degree, I just want to visit different countries and discover their cultures.

Maybe after I should do a Masters, because the people say it is necessary in changing times. In this case, I would like to travel to France, because my sister lives in Bourdeax, a beautiful city near the beach and some universities, but I have to learn French and it is very difficult.

My last semester.

This semester is very important for my, because is the last of my carrer. In this semester I have to choose my area of interest in psychology, I have to choose the place where I will do my professional practice.
I have two options for my practice and I am very confused about which to choose. I can either to my practice in educational psychology or in the area of the correctional psycholgy.
I do not like to have classes in december and january, I hate the heat and the rooms on the fourth floor so hot. The worst thing is that when I will be in class my family will be on vacation. Besides, this semester is very important for my for the choices I have to take and I feel that is very short!

That's it for this day.
