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.

Well thanks for reading,

Bye!!

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.
Thanks for reading.

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.
