Some things about the pandemic

Hello everyone,

In this post I’m going to talk about things related to the pandemic.

In general, my family has been very respectful of the quarantine and we have gone out as little as possible. With my sister and my mother (who are the ones I live with) we have tried to take care of ourselves by following health protocols. I have seen my father rarely in the last year and when it has been possible we get together with all the necessary measures. With my family, we are in contact through calls or virtual meetings, we also communicate by whatsapp.

I think that in some way, this situation has forced us to rethink how we live our lives. In that sense, I think we have learned to value more the situations that we considered quotidian and that we never thought would be the way they are now.

I also believe that the pandemic has made the great inequalities in our country even more visible. I have the illusion that our society will improve after this if we take care not to forget that things need to change. However, I’m a bit pessimistic about it because I see how our ruling class still seems to be unaware of the conditions in which the country lives.

During this quarantine I found myself again with writing and sewing. I have sat down again to write and I am making a gift cushion for my sister.

I have a complicated relationship with the study because sometimes I think it is good for me but other times it makes me feel very overwhelmed. I still don't get used to going to online classes and I really miss seeing my friends everyday.

Regarding the pandemic, I think it is necessary to remain optimistic after living in uncertainty for so long. Personally, I cling to the idea that this will end sooner rather than later. A lot of strength for everyone, I hope that soon this will be part of the past.

The best concert I've had

Imagen
Hello everyone! The best concert I have ever been to was the Frontera Festival in 2018, a festival in which numerous bands and artists perform. I was invited by one of my best friends, we were all afternoon listening to the groups and singers. What I liked the most was that my two favorite artists performed: Francisca Valenzuela and Miranda.  Fran Valenzuela is a chilean singer and songwriter and Miranda is an argentine band. I love the music of both artists.  The atmosphere was very cool, there were many people in front of the different scenarios and also in the park fields. It was a very good experience and it was great to see various artists (I heard several of them for the first time). I was able to sing, jump and dance to the rhythm of my favorite artists and with a very good company. One of the things that I remember is how much my friend laughed because she had never seen me so excited. Before Miranda's concert, she recorded a video in which I say how excited I am jumpi...

About psychology in FACSO

Hello everyone! In this post I’m going to talk about some thinghs that I think that could change in my study programme and in the faculty where I study. Although it seems to me that the first year manages to make an introduction to the world of social sciences, I found it difficult to link the contents to psychology in some courses until much later in the career. In that sense, I think that in the first semesters there could be subjetcs that introduce the world of psychology that, in addition to allowing an entrance to the subject that gives meaning to the other courses from the beginning, teaches us things that are often assumed that we know but not really. In these subjects, certain basic notions could be explained that allow us to give an idea of ​​general concepts, important names to know and that tell us a little about the many areas of application of the career (since we learn more about this in the third year and it could be earlier). It seems to me that the degree could last on...
