Activities I like to do in my free times

Well, I had been thinking and I realized that I have too much free time. The problem is that I “make” my free time, in other words, I have many things to do in my career but I waste my time. So I use many hours doing different activities that I’m going to tell you now.

The activities I enjoy the most when I waste my time are… certainly more than three (I have to talk about three activities in this post). Thus, I’m going to write about the activities that I spent most time.

In third place I’m going to choose theatre. Acting is an activity that I do since secondary. I spend like four hours per week in it. In my theatre academy I’m with another seven people. We are preparing a play so I spend a lot time in it.

In second place there is an activity that I spent many free time in it, I’m talking about watch movies and tv series. It’s the second activity I like most. Every day I download different videos from internet. From classic movies to new American series I see many things (except dead people lol). I spent like three hours per day in this.

And the most wasting-time activity in my life ever is… play videogames!!! I’m always playing a game in my free time. I’m used to play long games or never ending games like massive multiplayer online role-playing games. I’m a gamer because it’s very relaxing for me to play. I began to play videogames when I was eleven years old. Play games is my drug, my addiction. I know this is very nerd and geek from me but I’m fine with it. I play in average almost three or four hours per day. I know this is not good for me. I play alone and sometimes with my friends. I spent very good times in these “second worlds”. Now I’m playing two role games at the same time. I have to say that I’m learning how to manage my free time.

Improving My Faculty Facilities

Hello people! I’m going to talk about my faculty, specifically about the needs that it has.

Well, I’m a Chilean psychology student. I’m studying at Universidad de Chile, one of the most important Chilean universities. My university receives a fund contribution from government but that is not enough to maintain in a good shape all the facilities. My faculty doesn’t have the worst conditions but still has many needs. I’m studying at Facultad de Ciencias Sociales (Facso), which in English means “Social Sciences Faculty”. This faculty has four careers, for each one there are many needs, I’m going to talk about psychology ones.

Talking in a macro term, the faculty need more classrooms. Many classes, tutorials, etcetera, can’t be done because the lack of it. Also, the university wants to increase the number of students per year but it can’t because the classrooms.

One big need in FACSO is the lack of good psychology laboratories. There is one but it doesn’t have the conditions to carry out good experiments and doesn’t have the sufficient infrastructure to admit all the class students. Also we need a Neuropsychology lab, this is imperative because the university is getting behind other universities in matter of scientific academic research.
We need also a good student room. We don’t have it so we are forced to go to other faculties to study or just to our homes.

To solve these major needs we have to send a petition to the authorities, and wait for the approval. This is very difficult because there are many bureaucracy in the university.

Music in my Life

Finally an exciting post to do! Music is very important part of my life, so writing about it is a pleasure.

When I was a kid music wasn’t the great thing for me, but when I grew I started getting my own musical likes. Since that time I began to include music in my daily life. Like in any movie, background music has a crucial role in my life. I always take with me an mp3 player to listen music every time I can.

About my musical likes well... I have to say that I listen to a wide range of styles, from Jazz to Metal or Hip-Hop to Ambient I listen to lot of music. Besides I don’t like some styles. There is some music that I never listen to when I’m alone, like cumbia, reggaeton, salsa, sound, most pop music, folk, etc.

Well, I listen to a new disc or group every day. Being honest I think that I’m becoming an audiophile. I can describe how much I enjoy music. Every day I download tons of music from internet and I listen to it at least for six hours.

My music likes will depend on my daily emotional status. Always music is a pleasure for me, like chocolate but unlike this I never get bored with music.

Because I listen to so many bands I’m going to write here only two songs of two of my favourite ones, this is a very difficult task to do for me.

If you only do one thing this week… avoid multitasking

Often considered the pinnacle of efficiency, multitasking can actually be a negative practice, according to latest research. So stop what else you're doing and concentrate, says Giles Morris

Original article: http://tinyurl.com/yau96j5

Although technology grants us to do many things at once, that doesn’t mean that we’ll do those things well. Concentrating on one thing at a time, it seems, beats multitasking when it comes to doing a job properly.

A study at the University of California found that multitasking impedes the brain's ability to absorb information, while research by Glenn Wilson, visiting professor of psychology at Gresham College, London, showed that people's problem-solving performance dropped by the equivalent of 10 IQ points when they multitasked, and their stress levels also rose.

Recent findings of researchers at Stanford University in California shows that people who routinely multitask are the worst at ignoring irrelevant information. Also they regularly switch between tasks and have poorer short-term memory – in short, all the skills needed to multitask successfully are diminished.

But why, exactly, does multitasking have such a negative effect? According to Dave Crenshaw, business coach and author of The Myth of Multitasking, the damage is caused by what he calls the "switching cost" – the time taken to switch from one task and refocus on another. "You actually take much longer to accomplish things, make more mistakes and increase your stress," he says.

So the experts recommend us to avoid the multitasking wherever we can, “"If you are doing something very important I would suggest it would be better to shut down all channels of communication so you can concentrate fully." Wilson says.

My Favourite Dish

Hello people! I’m going to talk about my favourite dish. In a world full of tastes and flavours everybody has their preferred ones. I’m going to talk about mine.

Well, I really don’t have a favourite dish. I like many dishes but being honest the food isn’t an important pleasure to me. I’m not picky with food. But, I have to say that I’m vegetarian. Many dishes I eat I don’t know their names because are from Taiwan. But basically I really like omelettes and pastas. Also I like soya products, as hamburgers for example. So a really good dish for me will be a combination of that food.

My favourite taste is sweet. Thus, the food I like most are not dishes, but desserts I think. My really favourite thing to eat is bitter chocolate. I can’t imagine another food so stimulant to sense of taste than chocolate. Also I can’t resist a good cake, pancake, ice-cream or anything you could find in a cake store or ice-cream parlour.

I had had many good moments eating the last food I mentioned. It’s sound obvious but cakes are often eaten in birthday parties or celebrations. Everyone can talk about a good moment while a cake was present. Also I like to invite friends to eat ice-cream or cake and talk a while. Chat with a sweet taste is such a good combination!

There are many places to get a good dessert. But Bravissimo and Gatsby are very popular. I like that places too.

Well thanks for reading.
