Practice

Hello!
My name is Francisca Vallejos, I'm 23 years old and I study Biochemistry. 
First of all, and to be honest, I don't know if I have any strengths in English but I'll say that I can understand the language when I listen to it or when I read it but sometimes it is difficult for me because I don't have enough vocabulay to totally understand it. On the other hand, I know my weakness very well: it's hard for me to think in English and, because of my lack of vocabulary, I don't know how to say o write the things that I want to express.  
Secondly, the global situation this last year was very overwhelming for me because I didn't expect (and I don't like) to stay at home that much (knowing that I could not go out) and online classes are the worst for me because I can't concentrate in class. A lot of people died and that's very sad... the worst thing is that people are still dying from COVID but we have to continue our "normal lives" but I think that's something a little difficult and cold to do.
Finally, now it has been difficult for me retake face-to-face classes and evaluations.
I have to learn how to learn again.

Bye!

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....
