English language challenges My experience learning English at the university has been very enjoyable, at school I didn't like the subject because I thought the way of teaching the language was boring, but at the university I feel that it has been with a different approach and with other types of activities that have made me like the language again. The use of blogs has helped me a lot to be able to develop ideas or opinions in English more easily, to realize that I can write better and better in another language. I think that my English pronunciation has improved a lot over time, but I feel that I still have a lot of things to improve, such as the conjugation of verbs, I find it difficult to differentiate between futures and similar aspects. In order to improve I think it is very good to write and corroborate what I write with someone who knows the language well, also speaking it when I can or listening to music and watching movies and series in English with subtitles. As I said, I

Changes to my study programme I think the chemistry and pharmacy program of study at FACIQYF is quite complete, I think it covers everything necessary to understand the more complex subjects that are presented throughout the career. However, I have compared the curriculum of the University of Chile with that of other universities and I believe that here the load is greater, I mean, more subjects per semester and greater difficulty in the evaluations. Although I think it may be beneficial in the future, at present it generates a lot of stress in the students. As for the facilities of the faculty, I don't have many objections, I think that although it’s not as big as others, it’s very good for the number of students, the rooms are spacious and the laboratories are very well formed, something that I would like would be to have more green areas, I think that those that exist are few in relation to the people who go to the faculty. Regarding the teaching I think it is very good, i

Time travel to the future I've been thinking about this for a while and I really don't like the idea of traveling to the future, it scares me. I mean, what if I see things that are not good, if I see misfortunes or something that I simply wouldn't like to see, or I find out things that I didn't  want to know yet, I consider that it is something that I would have to think about. Despite the above, I consider myself a very curious person so if I had the opportunity to travel to the future, I would probably take it jajaja If I had to travel to the future, I would like it to be to a distant time, I'm not talking about a couple of weeks or months, but about 5 or more years in the future. I would like to see what things I have achieved in that time, if I have achieved my goals or if I have simply managed to be happy, I would like to see the state of the planet that minute, I mean, sometimes I think it is necessary to see the deterioration of things to become aware of the

My future job The truth is that I have been in my career for too little time to decide what my ideal area or job would be, I think I need to know each area and then think about it, however, at first glance, there is an area of the pharmaceutical field that catches my attention. I have always seen in series or research movies how the pharmaceutical chemist performs toxicological analysis and I consider that something along these lines could be a job I would quite like. I would like to have a job in which I had to analyze toxicological samples, something like in the police investigation department (PDI) or in the forensic medical service (SML), I imagine something like a large laboratory, with many analytical instruments in a carefully clean and orderly environment. I would love to have the opportunity to travel and practice the same activity in other countries, it would be amazing! The truth is that I love to travel and to be able to do it while I am working would be pretty cool, besi

 My favorite sport I want to tell you that since I was very young I have been very passionate about sports, I have always liked to be in constant physical activity and I find it very entertaining. When I was little I used to practice competitive skating but I got bored, it just wasn't my thing, I kept trying other sports until I met handball, about 8 years ago and I fell in love with it. Handball is a ball sport in which two teams play against each other, characterized by carrying the ball with the hands. Each team is made up of 7 players and is played on a rectangular field, with a goal on each side of the field. The objective of the game is to move a ball across the field in an attempt to put it into the opponent's goal, which is called a goal. The team that scores the most goals at the end of the game wins. I started training when I was 12 years old and from then on, I didn't stop until I was 17, I mainly played at school, and I also played for a while in a private club.

Pharmacokinetics Today I will write about a topic related to my university career -Chemistry and Pharmacy-, it is a branch that calls my attention and is quite interesting, I am talking about pharmacokinetics. Pharmacokinetics is currently defined as the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. In simple words, it is the branch of pharmacology that studies the processes to which a drug is subjected during its passage through the body. It explains what happens to a drug from the moment it is administered until its complete elimination from the body. Its main objective is to improve drug efficacy and reduce the toxicity of a patient's drug treatment. Over time, the relationships between drug concentrations and drug responses have allowed doctors to apply pharmacokinetic principles to real patient situations. Knowledge of the principles of pharmacokinetics allows physicians to adjust doses more accurately and faster for their patients. So,

 My best holidays I consider that my favorite vacation was in February 2019, in the Fach resort located in Loncura, in the region of Valparaiso. We went for a week with my family, there were my uncles and my cousins, the place is very nice, it is a large condominium located on a hill, the center has 2 swimming pools, a bar, a large lounge with casino and a game room, besides being right in front of the beach. The truth is that almost every year we go on vacation to the same place, but this time in particular was the best, that year in particular there was a lot of motivation, there were shows every night that culminated in parties, there were also workshops and competitions for children and adults. We had a great time with my cousins, we went out to different beaches and there was a very pleasant atmosphere in the place, besides there were many young people and we met many new people. I could say that so far it has been one of the best because I was with one of my closest cousi
