Blog post 6- Postgraduate Studies

 The idea of ​​studying after graduation has always been in my head. I have also thought about doing an exchange, but due to the pandemic I believe will no longer be able to do it. This is why doing a postgraduate degree is an idea that excites me. I would like to do it outside the country, not so much for academic reasons, but because of my desire to see new places and live outside my comfort zone for a while.


Spain and Germany are two countries that interest me a lot to do a postgraduate degree. I have heard very good comments about life in Spain: the people are very nice, the culture is very diverse and the atmosphere is very pleasant. On the other hand, I can speak German and I have family in Germany that I would like to be able to visit. However, if I am honest, I wouldn’t live with my family, but I would like to stay in a place where I could feel completely independent.


Regarding to postgraduate studies, I want to do a master’s degree related to psychology, particularly psychoanalysis. Another option would be philosophy. Both subjects are the ones that interest me the most and I hope that my professional practice would be linked to those fields. I wouldn’t like to do an online postgraduate degree because a lot of valuable experiences would be lost learning this way.  Especially when it comes to working with people. However, I wouldn’t like the university to takes away most of my time, because one of my priorities is to be able to do other activities such as getting to know the country where I’ll be living. That’s why, I believe that a blended system would be the way that meets both requirements stated above.

my life during the pandemic

  I still remember when in January 2020 I heard the news, still distant, of a virus that had been unleashed in a city, whose name I had never heard, in China. It seemed to be another chapter in a story that, I thought, I would know about only through the news or social networks. It is incredible to think that we have already been stuck in a pandemic for more than a year that has had such a reach throughout the world. At the beginning of the quarantine, everything was very new. I remember I had a class stoppage for almost a month and a half at the beginning of the year. During that time I took advantage of doing many things: I dedicated myself to cooking at home, reading books, walking my dog ​​every day. I think he has been the happiest with the quarantines, because I spent a lot of time with him and I walk him every day sacredly. I believe that with the pandemic many doors and paths are opened. Some were already being developed and now they have finished consolidating, such as rem...

My holidays

Image
I remember when I went to a place near  Caburgua's lake, in the south of Chile, with my family in summer 2018. We rented a very beautiful house located on a hill. It had many rooms, which was perfect for us, because we were a big group. There was my father, his wife Marcela with her mother and sister -who came with her daughter-, her three children and a boyfriend of one of them, my two sisters, my girlfriend at the time and me.  It was very fun being all together in the same place. Some times it could get a little bit crowded beeing with so many people, but aterall we had a good group relationship. We did many different activities such as -of course- bathing in the lake, trekkins, going to the towns near the area, for saying a few of them. I would say thtat was one of my best holidays because, first of all, we were in a beautiful place, surroundend by nature and the wild. Secondly, I enjoyed having time with my family, which has grown so much, since my father is in a ...

A country i'd like to visit

Image
As I am writing this right now, I can feel the smell of the food in the oven, which makes me remember a chapter of the TV Show called "Chef's Table" about a turkish cook. Through the chapter I was able to see the huge world of turkish food: the farmers markets, the culture traditions related to food and the immense variability of plates and savours they handle in the kitchen. So yes... as person interested in different types of food and cultures, and as a good eater, Turkey is the country I would like to visit. First of all, beacause their immense world of food, deeply realeted to the different cultures that live there. And second, because I considered Turkey as a bridge country between the west and the east part of the world.  I'd like to live there four a couple of months, so I can have enough time to learn about the different cultures and the arts of turkey cooking. Different spices in a farmers market.      A view of Istanbul: where east meets west. Musa, the coo...
