SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Last summer I wasn't able to travel anywhere, not even leave town for more than a day. I actually think that I went to the beach only two times on that holidays. So next summer I expect to get my revenge. Besides, after such an stressful year, I sure deserve it.

I've been saving money along with my two best friends from school. We are planing to backpacking to the south of Chile. The three of us have family in different cities all along the south, we obviously are going to camp at some point but our relative's houses will be like the rest point where we'll be able to get more supplies or something like that. If we succeed in this plan, our destiny are suppose to be the Marbel Caves in Rio Tranquilo, near Coyhaique, and of course, visit lots of touristic places along the road.

Marbel Caves

Well, that's the best scenario, but If we don't gather enough money between the three of us, we have a plan B: My mom has a contact that can offer her a cabin at half price in Pichilemu, I've been there before and they are just beautiful, I really love rustic houses, like small but cozy. They also had a perfect view to the beach and a bridge that connects the hostal to the beach, like a VIP access. Therefore, the money that we've got until today should be enough to spend at least a week there, an amazing plan for the summer anyway, maybe we could surf at punta de lobo's beach.

Plan B: Pichilemu

However, I've made really good friends here in the university, and I've been planning some smalls plans with them as well. My closest friends are four, we called ourselves  "Mojito's team", and one of us has an apartment in Papudo, one weekend there doesn't sound bad, right?

Anyway, Im really hopefull with this summer, the outcome of it will determinate how ready and peacefully I'll be for next semester!

BIG BOSS

My whole life I've been dreaming about having a pet. Since I was little everytime I went to a place where there was a cat or a puppy - I believe all dogs are puppies - I could not stop hugging them, I just never get enough of it.

Although my constants requests to my mom, she never agreed to have a pet because we lived in an apartment and the building was not suppose to allow pets. But with time, the administration established that people could have pets but if they barked too much or became a problem they will be fined. So then, two years ago, my mom finally adopted a cute little dark puppy who was only two months old, and in matters of minutes since we met, became my best friend. His name is Big Boss, I named him that because of a videogame called metal gear solid. In that videogame, witch by the way is AWESOMEEEEEEE, Big Boss is a bad ass soldier who obtained that name by "saving the country", his story gets more and more interesting on every game.

It hasn't been easy for us to raise Big Boss, he has troubles eating and don't get along with other dogs. He also is such a mommy's pet that he gets mad when we don't pet him or put full attention in him.

What I like the most about him is that he is really jealous with people, he is not like all dogs, you really have to earned his love and acceptation. 

In conclusion, he is a misunderstood puppy who loves to cause havoc everywhere he goes, but despite all his issues, he'll love you unconditionally, and because of that I couldn't imagine my life without him. I think my days will be much boring without him, and my awakenings  will not be the same without his scratches on my face.

He causes me a lot of work, but I love him with all my heart and I wouldn't change him for any other dog.

POSTGRADUATED STUDIES

As a future scientist, I aspire to get the more knowledge that I can be able to learn, but I do not really think it's appropriate to talk about the specifications of my future studies, I'm just getting started, m not even sure if I'll change my mind at some point in my working path. However, I'll try to make the best approximation about it, at least that way I can keep my 7.0 on the blog notes (YASSSSS✰) 

At the moment, and with the knowledge that my current program has given me so far, I think that the pharmacology PhD is the one that fits better with my tastes in this career. Its really interesting. Besides, it gathers research with work at clinics, I love that mix!

The subject that this postgrade program has really caught my attention was "molecular modeling and molecular drug design", it belongs to one of the three courses that the student has to choose, you can't do the three of them, you must do just one.

I would like to study this at the same university I am now, hopefully with a foreign scholarship, so I can travel at least one semester outside my country. I've heard that Germany, France and U.S.A are leaders of the pharmacology industry around the world, they should have a few PhD opportunities there, CAN YOU IMAGINE ME GETTING A PHD AT ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES? WHAT A DREAM ♥ I'll do it in the traditional way tho, I mean, going to classes regularly and stuff like that, if it was by internet, for example, I do not think I would be comfortable about it

Well, I think that I've said too muc, who knows? maybe my tastes will change along the way

MY FUTURE JOB

My view about the future has changed several times. I've imagine myself in really diverse jobs all along my life, from a moviemaker to an astronomer. However, my current program went to another direction, and today I'm happily studying "chemistry and pharmacy", so now, any projection about my future has to do with science.

I picture myself as a great pharmacist, me and my white robe doing science stuff, like in the movies. Although I would like to be some kind of mad scientist and make explosives, analyze bacteria or make a groundbreaking scientific discovery, I don't think I'll work on an specific area of my carreer during all my life. I'm actually not sure about which one is my favourite, that's why when my classmates talk about it I preffer not to answer. I'm always open to learn new things and have new experiences, so hopefully, I'll had jobs in all the areas of pharmacy, meaning as a clinical, industrial, assistencial or a forensic pharmacist, all of them indoors obviously. Maybe teaching about it or having a small pharmacy in the south, I don’t know, as I said I’m open to everything. What I do know is that I’d rather a job that allowed me to travel all around the world, and maybe one day I move abroad  to one of the countries that I'll meet.

Someday, I'll understand all of the
 drawings above my head

In terms of salary, I don't really think that is the most important thing to considerer, of course I'd like to had enough to keep me on my feet, but I expect to get a PhD in something or any other degree that complements my career and given that, my salary should be more than enough. Well, money would not be the reason I would take all of them, I just believe that If you like what you do, you should learn as much as possible about it.

That's it, that is the more close prediction about my laboral future that I can give you. You'll read about me later in the chemistry books!!!
