Changes are changes


Hello, today I’m going to write about my wishes around the changes of my study program. In this time, our program of Psychology is being reformulated thinking in the future students. The team in charge of is the Curricular Innovation team, and they seem very interested in modify the study program in pursuit of the comprehensive training and the well-being.

If the work of transform my study program would depend on me, the changes that I would make to my study program are: I would reduce the homework that the subjects take into account, because we need time to read the texts that are essential to win knowledge. The homework is a big thing in our study program: sometimes we have to do tests in our homes.

In the specialization period, I would add new subjects, especially about some areas of psychology that are “hidden” in our academic trainings; these are: juridical and communitarian psychology. Also, I would like to question the bad habit of our University to normalize the high standard of demand.

In the “communication with other faculties” aspect, I´d love that our program had an option to take courses that complement our specific knowledge and open our close perspectives. While today we have the option, the process to take one is very tedious.

To make a vocational decision it was so hard for me, but today, when I feel the satisfaction of being in this campus and faculty, and of course when I feel like a real psychology student I think that it was a good election.

    I hate to do tests at home, because they take a lot of time (at least they aren't very frequent) and I strongly agree that taking courses is a tedious process, I hope someday it will be easier to take one, maybe if there were more vacancies or more extracurricular courses.

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...

The new project of "Belle and Sebastian"

  Exactly three months ago Belle and Sebastian launched a new single called We were beautiful , a song that get closer to the classic style of the band than their latest album Girls in Peacetime Want To Dance . Two weeks ago, a new surprise: a warm song called I’ll be your pilot . What does mean the media movements of the band?   Like an attempt to calm the vehement questions of the fans; Stuart Murdoch, the vocalist of the band, report in an interview that three new EP’s going to arrive soon (the first EP going to be available on December 8 th ); and each one of them will contain approximately five songs. In an adorable gesture, Belle and Sebastian included the faces of lucky (and British, of course) fans in the sleeves of the little albums (that will conform a big album called How to solve our human problems ).   I have many expectations about the content and rhythms of the songs (I especially hope a song performed by Sarah Martin, my favorite member of the band)...

Sunny food

  Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food of all the times. In first place, I have to say that I’m not so good at making decisions. So, I’m going to pick three of the mouth-watering foods that exist to me: porotos granados, humitas y pastel de choclo. In my grandma’ house there is a vegetable garden where she grows beans, corn, basil, pumpkins, etc.   All these products are the basic substrates to make the marvelous home-cooked food. In this sense, I have to recognize that I eat my fist favorite food (porotos Granados) every weekend in summer. Also, in that season I enjoy the humitas frequently in despite of the difficulty of cooking this (and many flies fly around them).    When I changed my diet to the vegetarian one, I was afraid because that decision would generate that, for example, I couldn’t eat my third favorite food. But my grandma showed up like a super heroin and made a Pastel de choclo with a base of soy.   Unbelievably, the...
