Changes to my study program

Even though the study program is not quite as I expected, it is pretty good considering all the things. But there are some things I'd like to change, like the way that some classes are oriented, sometimes it feels like the subjects are way too far from what social work might be like, and the way to teach sometimes is too abstract that you can't even imagine how to put together and apply everything.

I also feel that there were moments in the semester where it felt like you had nothing to do apart from connecting to the classes and reading some textes, but there were also other weeks where it seemd like everything was tearing apart with all the academic overload. And even sometimes, when I had to help in my house with all sort of things, the days flew away and I couldn't read anything without me noticing it.

I have not been able to see the faculty in detail, and even tho I didn't need help with all the online classes issues that some other people have, the solutions that the faculty gave where kind of efficient. 

In my opinion, the main problem that online classes have is that sitting next to a computer, tablet or cellphone, depending on whatever the student can use, has become a little boring and not interesting at all, but I don't really know how that could get fixed.

    I agree with you... to me, study online is kind of depressed because I'm alone with my computer trying to understand the content of the class.

My holiday in Altos de Lircay

Image
On January of 2018, I went to the National Reserve Altos de Lircay, which is located 66 Km to the west of Talca, we stayed for two weeks in a camping that is inside the reserve called camping Antahuara. I went with my two parents, my brother and my cousin, we went hiking in four different hiking trails: Antumahuida, Retrincura, Laguna del Alto and El Enladrillado. It was the best because I rarely get to spend my holidays with my cousin and I really enjoy talking, playing and being with him in general, so those two weeks were a really good time in general. The El Enladrillado hiking trail was, in my opinion, the best of al the things that we did. It was very difficult in some parts, and the dirt you had to walk was often so slippery and the risk of falling was something that nobody really liked. But at the end, when we got to the end of the trail, the place called El Enladrillado was awesome, and the view was also amazing as you can see it in the picture, but getting there by yourself i

What's like to study social work?

Image
I’m studying social work in the Social Science Faculty of Universidad de Chile. At first I wasn’t sure if I realy wanted to study this career because I had a different idea of what the carrer was like, and also it was my second option so I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t study what I really wanted. But after a few months I started liking the carrer more and more until the point that I’m in right now where I can say that it’s way better than I expected. I’m noy really a fan of the online format, it makes it harder to interact with my classmates and until late into the second semester I didn’t really talk with anyone. Mainly because I’m not the type of person that talks a lot, so the fact that I couldn’t see my classmates in person was a little annoying, but after some time I started talking with some of my classmates and it all turned out fine. Also, I don’t dislike online classes as much as some of my classmates do, it’s harder in a way, but the fact that you can learn at

Life during and after the pandemic

 During the pandemic people had to change a lot of things in their common days to be able to accomodate to the moment we are living all around the world. Almost every person had to change their method of working since they had to stay inside their houses due to the quarantine, so they started working from home. The fact that we had to stay home to help reducing the number of infections provoked that people that used to exercise outside had to adapt and do it inside their houses. This same problem also interrupted some people that worked selling things in the streets, and also affected a lot of Pymes that had to change and start selling their products online posting their services in pages like instagram or facebook. Besides the problem of having to stay inside, I also think that people who have familiars with high risk of contracting covid have a lot of issues with how limited their actions can be since they have to be extra cautious with the things they go outside to. Having to wear m
