Level 4, Intermediate, Post 5, 'My future job'

Naturally, when someone is in a career, is probably that the job imagined will be related with that study programm. In my case it is psychology. But, actually, I don't have a hundred percent clear idea about in what I'm gonna do, where I'm going to work. And that's because I didn't enter in this career thinking about a job. Anyway, I think that I will be probably investigating interesting stuff, working with communities, and maybe, just maybe, clinical attention in public system. In this context, what I would like the most is to work and investigate in social psychology. That must be indoors and outdoors, the computer and the people. If that means that I have to travel, then I will, and probably this will lead me to visit a lot of places.
As much as I didn't think in a specifical job when I entered to this career, neither I did about salary. If I would care about money and salary, I'll probably choosing organizational psychology to help companies do their s***, but that is not the case. Maybe if I had a child I would be really worried about salary, but that is not the case and won't be the case in, at least, the next 10 or 50 years.
The last idea I would add is about our planet and its future. Things can probably change radically in the next years, and if we get the best good end that we could about it, it will be through radical actions and revolutions to fix our societies. So, in that context, nobody can be sure about what we will be doing in the future.

Level 4, Intermediate, Post 2, 'The Best Holidays/Concert Ever'

I'll talk about concerts. In my life I have participated in a lot of gigs as a performer with some metal or rock bands, and a few concerts as a spectator. In both cases there are some very good memories, nice experiences that I will never forget, specially in the cases when I was a performer. There are also some presentations and a particular concert that I didn't enjoyed that much, but in a long-term they also get special in some way, sometimes as a learning maybe. I could tell about the deep and inmersing experience in a concert of Interfæce (a Tool tribute band), or the goddamn great moment that I lived and enjoyed in a concert performed by Alice in Chains and Judas Priest (and other bands that I didn't care) at Movistar Arena (not a very good place for metal concerts). But I will talk about the goddamn awesome moment that me and my friends lived in a gig where my main band, Drainer, had the chance to participate. It was an event organized by students of FACSO to help to the mother of a student that died in a unfortunate accident. It was prepared in a week, and a lot of people prepared and brought things to sell. The idea of the gig was to attract the people to the place and that they buy the things. All happened at Patio de los olivos, and me and Drainer were ready to join the cause. The gig started at three o'clock or something like that, and it lasts like 5 or 6 hours. All bands and performers had 15 minutes to make their shows. A lot of students were there, and our friends went to hear us when we played. But is was not easy. We were almost the last ones, but the last ones talked to us to change our turns, and we accepted. That was good because my brother, the bassist, was getting late! But it was also complicated because there were delays in the event, and the FACSO personal were about to cut off the energy, and we were about to be the only band that wouldn't play! So the organizing group talk to us very worried and stressed, and I understood because making a gig is usually really hard and sometimes a real f****** s***. So I told to them, specially to the man in charge of the soundboard, that they explain the situation to the FACSO workers, asking for a little more time, and that they talk about the objective of the event. So everything worked, and we had exactly our last 15 minutes to do everything. So, for that moment, we passed from being nervious to being dying to play after we prepared, so the energy and electricity and atmosphere and the sound and everything were just goddamn cool and awesome, and we really enjoyed, one of our best performances, and one of my best life experiences. Here a video about it, it was in 2017:

Level 4, Intermediate, Post 1, 'A Country I would like to visit'

The country which I would like to go is Vietnam. Why? Well, I am just interested, it calls my attention. Maybe these are some reasons: is a country with a lot of nature and forests, where there's even species of animals recently discovered. Also, is a country with a lot of history, in part a very hard history (but they won that terrible war); we must remember that Vietnam was divided in North Vietnam and South Vietnam, and there were a lot of problems about it. One of those episodes was related to Thích Quăng Đúc, a budist monk that burned himself until death, under total silence and calm, helped by other monks to protest against the repression from the government in South Vietnam. There is a monument in Vietnam in honor to that monk, that I would like to visit too. In Vietnam there are also a lot of budist temples, and they have a beautiful spiritual culture. Maybe I would like to study or live deep in that spiritual ways. Here some photos:

POST 10 >> EVALUATION OF BLOG EXPERIENCE / SOME REFLECTIONS.

It had been a very intense semester. All my subjects were well selected, but also they were very demanding. A lot of works and not a single usual test in class, with the relative exception of this english subject. I learnt a lot, that is the best thing that happened in the whole semester. The other great thing that happened is that I felt a lot of connections between the subjects during the semester, which made feel inspired for being feeding the central matter of my interest in the career.
In any case, not everything went so well. From all my semesters, this was by far the one with more delays in works delivery. But I am making it and I feel proud because of that.

About the blog experience, is not weird that it has remained as the main activity of the english subjects, because is funny to customize your own blog and talk about what you want to talk on them, even with some rules. For me is always funny to customize things, and it was interesting to write about some things that reminded me what I like and what I like to do. Nothing else to mention.

POST 9 >> THE TRASCENDENCE OF THE EGO-CONSCIOUSNESS, PART 2 (FREE/THEMED POST)

In the last free post I talked a lot about meditation as a practice, but not too much about its effects, or the concept of trascendence of the ego-conciousness itself. Neurologically speaking, the rest that meditation implies for the brain during the process is a state of mind characterized by a lot of synaptic activity. This could sound like a paradox, but it isn't. Something similar happens during the sleeping, with the exception that during the sleeping we can barely have control of what happens, and sometimes we have bad dreams or a very bad sleeping. It's very interesting the point about the aware quality of meditation. Some research shows how during meditation people learn to have a better control of their emotions, a more easy encounter with a lot of situations and a more prudent interpretation of some things. However, there are some studies that show that these results are, in most part, culturally influenced in the sent of a intentioned meditation. In other words, these studies said that meditation could be or not a budist practice. In any case, there are more research that shows other interesting results. One of the most importants, is the proven growing of grey matter in the brain during meditation. This is very interesting because it could be interpreted as an intelligence evolution during meditation because of a proliferation of neuronal connections. About this, my brother said to me once: "evil people can also meditate and became more intelligent". In any case, "intelligence" is a very complex concept.

Well, one more time I have run out of words, so, next time I'll talk about the concept itself. Farewell!
