THE LAST POST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I'm going to write a brief essay about my career and the tecnology.
Firstly, my career, Physical therapy, is related with the use of tecnology and the human movement, so, to Physical Therapists is very important know how to use computers and machines related with this science. To do a good treatment is essencial to apply the knowledge and the tecnology that you have. In the next paragraphs, I'll try to explain why we have to use tecnology and how the tecnology help us to do a treatment.
In this year, we studied many things related with the molecular side of our career: tissues (muscles, bones, tendons, etc), biology and fisiology. The most of the things that we studied in this subjects had been discovered thanks to the help of the tecnology and, obviusly, thank to the scientists too. We have to understand that every process of the body and of the nature have a biological explication, and we must understand that very good, because we help people and we must know what is happening on a sick body and in a body of a healthy person. For example, in Fisiology, this year, we studied neuroscience and muscle contraction, both are importants for our career, and study the molecular aspect of the muscle is useful to explain differents diseases, like Miastenia Gravis. All this things we should know because a treatment for a disease that could be similar in syntoms should have other way to heal it.
Study tissues is important to us because a damage in the muscle or the bone happened on their respectives tissues, so know how is a tissue help us to know how we have repair the structure (bone or muscle).
We studied how to use microscopes. This is basic for any person that study something related with the health of people. If you don't know how happened the things inside of us, it would be hard explain a disease or a damage in our bodies.
In conclusion, a responsable and good Physical Therapist not only must know how to do a treatment for a determinate disease, also must know that every person is unique and every process have a explication that it can be discovered thanks to the help of tecnology and our knowledge. The knowledge is learned not only throught to the study but the experience of the proffesional.

My faculty

Today, I'm going to talk about my faculty. Firstly, I don't like this faculty very much, I found it sad. But, now I love my faculty, their areas and the construction. However, I missing green areas specially. I think green areas are fundamental in a University because they helps to relax and give you a break. Other problem is the tecnologic. There are many laboratories but their implements are old. Respect the library, is a large library, with 4 floors and many computers which aren't very good but works (sometimes). My faculty has a national monument: the anatomy building. This is plus for the faculty because. I think there is a few Universities with this privilege (if there is another). The sport infrastructure is very bad too. There is a little gym with a few of old machines and one basketball court. There are two cement soccer courts and nothing more. I think the Faculty needs new areas for the sport and, specially, green areas. In general, the problem of my faculty is the infrastructure because the teachers are great and the students too. The teachers are the best of Chile (obviously, always there are exceptions) but they are interested in us, they want that we learn, and learn well, they offer help before we need it.

In conclusion, the infrastructure is a problem that is resolved with money, so, the faculty needs more resources of the University and the Chile Statement, because this is the University of the country and they should help to all the students of this University, improving the Faculties.

Free Time and Hobbies

Well, today I'm going to talk about what I like to do in my free time. When I am in the University, I like playing table tennis in the CES (it's like a room for the students), I play Taca Taca too. In my house, I like reading books or magazines and I like watching historic or scientific programmes or movies in the TV. I remember, whan I was a child, I played Super Nintendo and I did soccer. After that, when I was 13-15 years old, I did basketball, tennis, etc 4-5 times a week. Today, I still like doing sport, but I don't have many time to do it. I do soccer once a week and Physical Education once a week too. I think that my favourite hobbie to do in my free time is the sport: basketball, tennis, soccer, bycicle and table tennis.
Other hobbie is watch programmes in History Channel or National Geographic, or some channel like that, especially, programmes that show other cultures and countries, in different ages of the history or related with my career. Oh, I was forgeting something, I like cooking, specially, chinese food. I like inventing new dishes too.
Well, the things that I did or I do in my free time, they have helped to meet new persons and do friends, specially, the sports. The historical or scientific programmes have helped to me to be a person more tolerant with other cultures, religions or simply know things useful for the life. Respect with the food, sometimes, to my friends likes that I cook them. For example, in the holidays, sometimes they ask me their favourites dishes and I did them.
The music is other of my hobbies. I like groups like Garbage, Placebo, Coldplay, Lucybell, Travis and Keane, and singers like Norah Jones and Alejandro Sanz. In general, my favourite kind of music is the brit pop and rock.

Holidays .-

Hellooo! Today, I'm going to talk about the holidays that I've lived and I'd like to live.
When I was a child, I went to Viña del Mar because my family had a house there. I walked n the beach and I played there. I liked (and still I like) ride a bike in the park. I remember that I went to eat pizza and ice cream near to the beach. In the 2000, I went to Puerto Varas in holidays, I knew Petrohué, Ralún, Ancud, Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Osorno, Frutillar and Todos los Santos lake. Other holiday that I remember is when my family and I went to Buenos Aires, I was fifteen. I bought many books and Cd's because they were very cheap, cheaper than Santiago obviusly.
Well, for this holidays, I don't have plans, the only thing that I'm sure is that I'll go to missions to the south of Chile, representing to my school. We don't know exactly where we go, but almost always is the ninth or tenth region. The last time we went to Cumbre Alta, near Puerto Montt. It is a little town and we had a great experience there. The people is very nice and kind. The missions are in January. After that, I don't know what I do. I don't think that my family go out, so I think that I'd go to the beach with my friends, to the house of a friend of mine in Ilimay, near San Antonio.
Honestly, If I had money, I'd like to know Chile from north to south with all my family in the holidays. After that, I'd travel with my best friends to somewhere in the World, a place where we can relax and enjoy very much, for example, the Caribbean or Europe. And if I travelled alone, I'd like to know San Francisco, in USA, South East of Asia, China, South America, India and Europe. I love travel.
For this holidays, I expect go to many places with my parents, brothers and friends. I'd like to celebrate my birthday with people I love and go to a disco or something like that to enjoy my 19 years old.

Exercise and Chemotherapy

A study done in two hospitals of Copenhagen and published in the British Medical Journal said that doing exercise and sport of high and low intensity while having Chemotherapy is good for feeling better. Also, exercise helps to increase the strength in the muscles and helps to breathe better too in relation to people with cancer that didn't do sport.
The therapy for the people that participated in the study consisted in 9 hours of exercise per week, this includes exercises for the heart, muscles, relaxation exercise and massages. Despite the results of the investigation said that people feeling better than other people with this disease, the quality of life did not improve in general. It was a momentary well-being. To improve the quality of life, the exercises should be forever. This study is very reliable, because it was done with two groups (who did exercise and who didn't) and this allows to know if people really feel better or if it was a placebo effect. Before finishing, people who are in Chemotherapy and feel fatigue, before starting to do exercise, is better to call the doctor or ask for the treatment to know what kind of sport or exercise is better for the person.

Transantiago.-

Hi everyone !, well, today I'm going to talk about our system of transport in Santiago called Transantiago. This system started about february of 2007. Firstly, It was a chaos, the bus stop were crowded (actually too, but today is a little better) and the people hunged of the buses. The old system had yellow buses, now we have white and green buses in the great avenues. In the smaller streets we have buses of different colours depends of area. When it started, I didn't use buses much, I walked to my school and when I had to moved I used the subway. Now, I have to use this system because my University is not closer of the subway, so I take a bus to arrive here. My experience is not very tragic, I have many options and buses to come here, but the most of them are crowded on the morning and when I left the University, at the afternoon, are crowded too. A bad thing about this system (and the old system too) is the smog and accoustic contamination. Out of my house there is a bus stop and there is noise and smog all day. However, if I have the power to change this system, I'd change the buses for greener buses and I'd do a plan to educate to people to how they should use the public system, in conclusion, more information to the poblation.

France (=

Hi!!! today I'm going to talk about France. I would like to go to France for many reasons. One of them is because It's a historic country: French Revolution (which changed the World) and World Wars. Also, It's a place where many important people lived, for example Napoleon Bonaparte, Rousseau, Voltaire. I would like to study Gastronomy in the Cordon Bleu, I like cook very much and I really want to study there. I would like to visit many places like Louvre Museum, the Triumphal Arch, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Church of Notre Dame, Churse of Saint Denis. and, for the historical importance, Normandy. Other country which I would like to go while I'm in France (because it's near) it's England. I really would like to go there because I found it's a country which many places to visit. Also, I't s a beautiful country with many history. France and England are places where there were many historical times, very importants for the actual world. I would live in France or England one or two years, no more, because I like Chile very much and I'd miss it. After finish my class of Gastronomy, I would like to work in a restaurant and then I´d come back here.
