Post N°5

I'm not still 100% sure what I will work in the future, I have thought about research, associated with teaching, clinical pharmacy, etc. But what strikes me most is the synthesis of drugs.
The problem that exists is that I am not very good at working with people and crowds.
If I follow the path of drug synthesis, I would like to specialize in that, to give emphasis to research and to the application of these.
Unfortunately this profession is not developed here in Chile, the only option is to move to a country where it is practiced, such as Germany or Holland. Because of this, it is essential to master another language that is not native.

I hope to work in a laboratory, with a rather small team, because I am not very good at the crowds.
I would not like to stay static in a job, my idea is to be able to move from labs in labs, it is looking for new experiences that will help me to cultivate myself as a pharmacist. My ideal would be to move around the world working a period of a couple of years in each lab.
With respect to salary, I hope it is enough to live well and be able to save, without leaving aside one or another taste. Similarly, the race stands out for the good remuneration it presents.

Chemistry, as an exact science, tries to make sense of things through experimentation.
In the future, great changes are coming where technology is involved.
In the experimental area, it will no longer be necessary to experiment with animals with certain drugs, because there will be software for that, having a large database collected over the years.
In the area of ​​pharmaceutical sales, we will be displaced by machines that will serve the public.
In a more important area, such as the clinical pharmacy, technological advances are always expected to be a progress for the well-being of people.
Leaving future projections aside and focusing on the changes that should be implemented in the race, I have several improvements at different points.
Starting with the implementation of the branch of programming to the race due to what I mentioned before.
The evaluation method I hope will be more pleasant with the student, that they do not exploit us day by day with the evaluations.
One aspect, which I consider most important, is with respect to our teachers. I think we need pedagogues, specialized people to teach, because now, our teachers, although they are experts in their subject, are just that. Several do not have the ability that the student really learn something, they only explain what they know.
All the time has been like that, but I hope there is a radical change in that.

Regarding infrastructure, laboratories are expected to stop being so archaic, that new technology is implemented.
Annex to this, but related to the facilities, I expect a cafeteria of the faculty.

When I was a kid, after school when I got home, I remember watching a program called "invasion" in which they played animes. That was when my interest in anime was born.
Along with the anime, I also remember that on weekend mornings, they gave children's series on national channels.
I remember a series called "Pink Panther" was broadcast very early in the morning, and I set alarm to see it.

But I will not talk about any anime this time.

My favorite series are the simpsons. This is about a "traditional" American family. The fun of the series is the mixture of usual problems with crazy events, adding to all that a touch of humor. My favorite character is Homer, who happens to be the father of a family.
Years ago, this series was broadcast on an adult schedule, due to its content, but little by little that changed.
I think I'm an occasional fan, because I'm not always watching anime or series, only when I have time and there are some that recommend me and get my attention.
Animation in general has been very important in my life, because I did not have siblings of my age, but despite having friends, I always enjoyed spending the evening watching animation of all kinds, and I still do. I consider it a good hobby.

Usually, I see all kinds of animation, sometimes I repeat series that I saw as a child, and despite the passage of time, and I enjoy them in the same way.
Most of the times I see a new series or anime I recommend it to my friends and vice versa, I consider it a usual topic in my conversations.

Today, the science is advancing by leaps and bounds, new techniques are emerging every day in all areas, which means that scientists have to learn and move forward, or will be left behind, and my career is no exception.
The Nano Pharmacy is a specific branch of pharmacy, born from the union of pharmacy with nanotechnology, this is a science that explores the nano world and the use it can have in medicine.
Some examples of this are the anesthesia that acts against sciatic pain which is  composed by nano-particles that react with a laser, being capable of  biodegrade in the body. Another example are the gold nano-particles used to release the diabetes medication in the patient.
This new type of technology can be an  alternative that act as  an analog of some treatments.
Techniques such as those mentioned above are used to treat different diseases such as diabetes or chronic pain in local areas. In my career, this is a relatively new field of research, related to new ways of introducing medication to the patient.
I chose this topic because when I discover how this can act as an alternative to treat some diseases, I thought it would be extremely beneficial.
In the future, this technology would allow to implant the medication through the muscles, releasing the medication to the specific objective.
Being honest, I learned about this today while writing this blog.But with what respect to human welfare, this would be beneficial, since an alternative analogous to some treatments, with specific control such as this technology, could help improve  health, preventing some side-effects ,this because the increase in specificity that would mean a decrease in the applied dose.
As I said that this technology would be an alternative to some treatments, it is less invasive and could help control the distribution an release of the medication in to the human body.

When I was a child, in my fifth birthday, I get a pet like a gift from my brother. I remember when I looked the first time, I didn't sure what it was. It had three legs, an unusual tail, and its fur was a little strange.
I remember the first year’s whit him. we played around the house all day, it follows me whit difficulty. In the evenings, we take a nap in the courtyard until night.
Past the years, I didn't understand why it was like that. but anyway, I love it and enjoyed his company.
One day I asked to my brother what kind of animal was my pet, He said "is a dog", but I said "the dog have four legs, not three. My brother said "this is a special dog, I take it from the street, it suffers abuses of old proprietor. In that moment I understood the situation of my dog.
For many years was my company, but it was sick, and in the last years it just-only remained lying down next to the sofa when I sat.
Sadly, years ago, my dog dead because of it sick. 
I loved that dog because despite everything that had happened, he always looked happy, and always accompanied me.

Some time ago, I travel with my brother to the south of Chile. We went to a place called "Perquenco", is a little town close to Temuco. I remember the trip to the city, when we went to take the bus, there was a lot of people trying to take their respective bus, it was a hell. After 30 minutes, we finally could take it, but it had problems with the motor, because of this the bus stopped in Rancagua for four hours aprox. that was terrible.
Passes the hours, we finally arrived to our destiny close to launchtime. After that, we went to the river with some friends. I swam all the afternoon. In the night, I slept placidly.
Early in the morning, we went to another river to camp. I swam, played football and ate a lot of food. Almost all days we go to the river, because the temperature was so high.
I liked Perquenco because of its weather and landscapes, specially the forest and the rivers.
Back of the south, in Santiago, the rest of the vacations I passed it visitating my friends.
Finally, I came to the university, was very sad.

Since I was a child, I always dreamed about visiting Japan. I love their culture, history, food, etc. but I don`t have much information about this country.
When I was younger, in the evenings I used to watch Japanese animation called "anime". It's since that time that I became in love with the country. I also love videogames and Japan is the country of technology, so that's another reason to why i would like to go there.
To other hand, the landscapes of this country are very beautiful, some of the most known are the Mount Fuji  and the Tokyo tower.
In addition to this, i really would like to taste the gastronomy on offer, like the sushi and the fugu (a venomous fish), but, in this case i couldnt afford it, because it's so expensive.
Some of the things i would like to do there are visiting the district of Akihabara, where you can find many stores and arcades. Also i would like to go to the theater to see a Kabuki play.
On one hand I really would like to live there to experience the japanese culture, wich I found really interesting. But on the other hand I think that the life in there is very busy and chaotic.
