English language challenges

This semester, as before the last semester i think that learning english has been an interesting experience but i dont like the way in which the programme try to teach me to speak, understand or inclusive write. In blog’s case i like write but i don’t like write about a predefined theme, i feel like that some that i like is converted into an obligation and how i need to say specific things about anything instead of say some that i really think about the theme. Also i fell like english schedule take up time for another things like the “practice time” of Simulation in some cases, or study because i leave the university rhater late.

Also i think that “this english” is not like i need, i mean, i feel that i need more about technical language and reading comprehension for read the lots of papers that some subjects give to me so i think that maybe that need to be improve in the future  together with  the Schedule (who decides the Schedule should consider the practice time and choose others days for example). For the blogs, maybe they serve for practice the writing but if they could be about free themes will be better.

Outside the english class i don’t use the english so much, only use it for read some papers or documents that i need for the others subjects and when i see a movie or series i like to see them in english and listen the real voices of the characters but if you pay attention for the subtitles some times they are really bad and you need to listen for understand. Beyond that i don`t use english but i think that is because i live in a country where we speak spanish and few people speak english but they don`t need to use it.

Changes to my study programme

I have only had two years of odontology and subjects so i can´t say a lot about the subjects but I can say about that the subjects that I have now (and had the last year) that around the 50 percent of they was and are “challa” (I mean that I believe that they are completely unnecessary) for example: the last year I had infotecnology… what it is? A subjet about power point, Photoshop and nothing else, nothing new… other subject that I think was a loss of time was “society and culture”  we literally planted strawberries and saw movies like Totoro. This year the “challa” subjet that I have is OBE that is a subject about how search information and where. On the other hand the last year I had anatomy and BAYB that are basic subjest for the acquire of knowledge, and this year I have Simulation and Diagnostic that are an approximation to the clinical reality and they serve to develop our skills and maybe that should be more important that have a Photoshop class, If I could change something i chose have more subjects that are related with my career and eliminate the thing that maybe we will never use it again.

I think that my time the last year was more that in this year because the subjects of the first year had not been a major burden (exclude Anatomy and BAYB), instead this year in Diagnostic and Simulation we have to study almot 30 classes for only one test, and they are not short classes, are really BIG. In the case of diagnostic is more easy because the teachers teach well (although study 30 classes take a lot of time and days without sleep) but in Simulation the situation it’s really complicated, in first place the teachers are completely subjetives in the evaluations of our abilities in the practical tests, one day you can have a 70 and to the next day you can will reprobate your test, so I like that in the future that can be regulated with guidelines or something like that. In simulation also the teaching method are so differents, the teachers only talk in class and we need putting into practice all that without see how do it in the real life, and maybe the teachers should show us although once how do the things.  Other problem in simulation is the time, is not enough to finish all the program and that should be change.

The laboratories or “Salas de paso” that we use in simulation are in poor conditions, always some breaks or doesn’t functioning, and we don’t have enough materials. We need more fund for improve the conditions and learn better, especially because in odontology we use a lot the technology like the turbine, and if the air compressor doesn’t serve, what we can do?.

In short, I think that my career needed a lot of improvement in the two first years, and I can imagine the next years if this is just beginning…💔

Summer Holidays

This summer i was thinking find a work but how i probably will not be finished my clases in time (my last test is in january) i have decided to that maybe i can go to the south after my last test. I would like to visit Chillán where lives the family of my father, my grandmother  have a land a few kilometers of Chillán.

In this time i would like go to Chillán with some friends of the university.  In summer with my family often go to a lake that is in the back of the house and i think that is a good place to take to my Friends. Also, near of Chillán, in the city of Quellón, exist a celebration to use the tomatoes that are in bad conditions; the celebration is called “War of tomatoes” and how the name suggests, the people go to a type of “stadium” where farmers collect tons of tomatoes and when sounds a chime, start to throwing tomatoes between them and i think that will be fun and relaxing.

Chillán also have the “Spa of Chillán” and the people that i know that has gone to the spa, say to me that is a good place and i need to visit it and i think that after spend a year in the university, always is welcome the idea of go to some place where i can relax and enjoy without think in tests, reports or get up early.

Recommending: "The kingkiller Chronicle"

Each time that a person ask me for a book that maybe they should read, i always say “The kingkiller Chronicle” without thinking.

The kingkiller chronicle is a trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss , the first book "The name of the wind" was published in 2007 and the second book “The  Wise man’s fear” was published in 2011. The third book “The doors of Stone” Will be published in the course of this year.

The history is about Kvothe talking about him past and how he tansformed in a legend. Kvothe pretended was someone else when a chronicler find him working in a tavern and ask him for his histor and then Kvothe begins to related his history.

 The history taking place in a fantasy world in some like medieval times where we can found villages and places like Tarbean (the capital), Vintas, The university and others. Kvothe was part  of a family of Edena Ruh, a itinerant court of artist like actors, circus arts and musicians. One day he retired to the forest and when he back with him group all they have been assassinated by seven mysterious characters: “the Chandrian”, the evil force that the people think was only a legend. When Kvothe saw his family dead decided find the culprits and for that he needs go to The university and learn about alchemy, the control of the elements like the wind and then take revenge. In the course of the history while kvothe learn how defeat to The Chandrian, he lives differents adventures that gave to him the fame of Kingkiller, dragons killer, thief and hero.

I recommend it because is a very good history with lots of creativity, the narrative is awesome and the magic world is like another that you can see before, have a similar style  to “The lord of the rings” with communities and Kvothe is a really powerfull.

“I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me”

Postgraduate studies.

The last year i thought that my actual pregraduate course would be the only career related with odontology i could study, because i did not like this career at that time, but now i like it and i have been thinking that i will, of course, continuate with this in some area. My options are maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics or pathology in odontology. My reasons to consider these options are because i think that these specialities are the most interesting of all the odontology, if you think in oral rehabilitation inmediately you imagine prosthesis (without detracting this speciality) but if you think in maxillofacial surgery for example, you can consider facial reconstructions of fractures caused by accidents , in pathology we have many diseases that we must learn to differenciate and in orthodontics you change completely the smile of one person with mechanical tools, and all related with these themes i would like to know and learn (surgery, occlusion, physics, diseases, etc.).

I would like study one of these specialties in University of Chile or  the University of Sao Paulo School of dentistry in Brazil but i am still not sure. I would like study with a part-time system because so i could study and work at the same time and have money to live decently and pay my studies if i can’t get a grant.

In any case i have much time to determine what i would like study, maybe after ending this career i shall take a little time to think about it.

My favourite animal

Raccoons are definitely my favourite animal after cats. I have decided talk about raccoons  instead of cats because cats are more common than raccoons so i think that would be boring talk about cats.

The raccoon is an animal native to North America, raccoons are nocturn animals, omnivorous, dextereous and have a facial mask that give them a cute appearence of a sgrounger although in reality they are xd 😈. The fur of raccoons is  reddish brown or grey and the tails have around four or ten black rings.

  

Raccoons are very intelligents so they can solve tasks and remember the solution for years. They can stand on their back lengs and use their front lengs to take things. The people think that raccoons are lonely animals but they can group according to gender as the case may be.

I like raccoons beacuse they are like cats (yes mainly for that) but are cats that can take things with their lengs 💓. Also they can be loving with persons that they know or another animals, inclusive raccoons can give hugs and i think that is very cute. If i could have one definitely i have it, is a pity that there are not in Chile and probably they are not a domestics animals.

My future job

Well I have never been an idea about my future job, but currently I am studying to be a dentist, I am going to be a person with an indoor job, I know that because I prefer work in a room where I can get anything at the instant and I don’t like things like field trips, in odontology for example some dentists go to schools and kinder gardens and teach hygiene and I wouldn’t some like that. Who do not want to travel in their job? Obviously that I would like travel, I wished it always, and I would like have to go to business trips to international congress or inclusive travel to take postgraduate studies. I don’t know how much money I want but I hope earn a decent salary consistent with my job that will allow me pay my things, help with some of the expenses of my parents house, travel and spend in lots of books… regard to a major I have been thinking about maxillofacial surgeon or orthodontist because I like how this majors change the dynamic, form and appearance of the mouth and face for complete in a person,  like a baby with cleft lip in orthopedic (part of the orthodontics) or a person that had an accident and need a facial reconstruction in surgeon…also this specialties have a longer contact with the patient during the treatment and recovery, in others majors the contact is reduced and inclusive some treatments see the patient only one twice… is difficult for me take a decision but fortunately I have time to decide between these specialties while I finish my career.
