Website I enjoy visiting (and is useful)

 Hello again!

Finally, the last blog has been reached.


I don't like either of the two topics too much, because I don't know if I admire anyone, but I'm not looking for pages related to my career either. 

But I have to write.


One site that I have found useful during this time (and that I have genuinely checked out) has been PubChem (https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). It is a chemical database that has information on different molecules, large and small. It's a very useful website for looking up information on different chemical compounds, such as melting points, density, hazard and molar mass; so for lab classes it's a kind of lifesaver. It's also very easy to use. 

The only "problem" is that it's only in English, so sometimes it can be a bit difficult to search for something, because the English names for certain chemical compounds are complex, but other than that, it's a good website.


I think I would recommend it to anyone who needs to look up information about chemical compounds. 


Thanks for reading.

Post 3: My Dream Job

 Hello! I think I don't have a dream job at the moment, because I consider that I need more information about my career and more knowledge about my areas of interest. I think that can help me a lot to figure out what I really want. When I was a child, I wanted to be a doctor and help people to stay healthy but now I want to work in a laboratory and I'm really interested in immunology (or similar subjects) and I'm looking forward to having a job related to that. I think that would be awesome. And I think immunology is not that far from my childhood dream of being a doctor in the future, at least in one part (work with the Immune System).  For that dream come true, I need to improve my "laboratory skills" because I have bad "pulse" and I got nervous when I have laboratory activities in a class. And I need to know about immunology too, because all the knowledge about that topic that I have is from school and things that I read in my free time and I don'...

Post 5: Changes to my Study Programme

 Hello! I like my Study Programme in general because the subjects that we learn are interesting for me but there are some things that I don't like much. For example, our Study Programme has two difficult subjects in the same semester (Fisicoquímica I and Química Orgánica II)... they're the most difficult subjects of the major for me. And the fact that both of them are usually studied at the same time gives more workload on the students. It's common that a lot of people fail one of them (and sometimes both of them) and that increases the length of their studies, unfortunately.  And I think University isn't really worried about that (if you fail three times on the same subject, they can kick you out of the major... I don't think that's the solution).  But not everything is that bad, there are some good things, like the amount of lab activities that we have in some subjects (at least in my major, Biochemistry) and we can do internships at the University.  I th...

Post 1: A Country I would like to visit

 Hello! I can't think of a country that I would like to visit in any occasion because the idea of flying on a plane is really terrifying for me. But if planes didn't scare me the way they do, I would probably like to visit Greece.  Greece is an interesting country for me because I like Greek Mythology so if I traveled to Greece one day I would love the idea of visiting some temples and cities that are mentioned in some myths such as Delfos and Crete.  I really like history and mythology so I think it would be a good destination for me.  But mythology is not the only thing that makes Greece an interesting country to visit, I like philosophy too and Greece was the place where a lot of philosophers were born and lived. That's amazing too. Although, as I said before, I really like history and the idea of visiting historical places, I don't think I would live in Greece and, if I traveled to that country someday, it would be just for vacation and no something permanent....
