My Faculty

The Faculty of Veterinay is one of the many faculties of the University of Chile, and like all of them it has good things, and also bad things that needs to be improved.

My faculty is very far away from the rest, in La Pintana,  is very pretty and quiet, wich I think it`s a good think because that way it`s easier to concentrate, away from all the noise. Second, what I think that it`s really cool about the faculty is that we have something called "Mundo Granja" that it`s like our little farm with a lot of animals: horses, cows, sheeps, ducks and even ostriches!

BUT on the other hand, the faculty has a lot of thinks that, in my opinion, could be changed in order to make it a better place for all of us.

The first thing that I think that needs to be reevaluated is the curriculum (I know that now we have the new curriculum, so this might be hard to reevaluate) because we have too many subjects each semester and also we have to take electives, and I think that this is a big load on us, and it is more complicate to have good marks in every subject  and we don`t have all the time that we need (or wish). And I would like to have the oportuniy to make my own schedule, choosing  the teachers, the days, etc.

Another thing is the infrastructure, I think that we need better classrooms, with no flies! jaja, more computers (and good ones!), etc.
In third place I would like to have more electives, because we can`t make it to the electives in other faculties and then come back to La Pintana to classes! we need more sports, artistic elecives, that help us to relax and have fun doing them!
And last but no least are little things that doesn`t bother me that much right now, like the casino (that needs to be change completely!), more places to hag out like the "cuchitril", a better library (actually this is important!), more teachers, do something with all the dogs jaja, etc.

I think that all of those things, would help to improved our faculty and make it nicer to everyone!, would brought a lot of benefits for the students, teachers,and every person who works here :)

Italy

The topic of today is the country that I would like to visit, which is... I don´t know, jaja, I`ve always wanted to go to Europe and travel across it, and visit as many countries as I can, Germany, Italy, England, France, Spain, Austria, all of them! They are so near one and other! But if I had to choose one right now, I think it would be Italy.
I`ve seen pictures of Italy and I love the architecture of their cities,  it`s a country so old, with such amazing buildings! And people say that it`s a very romantic place
Of course I would go to Rome, and I would love to visit the Vatican, even though I`m not a catholic person. I will also visit the Fondata di Trevi, where you throw a coin and you make a wish. Another place that I would go to, is the ruins of the Greek theatre, the Phanthom, the Anfiteatro di Verona, the colisuem, Pompeya, Napoli, I would go to Milan, specially to see the Duomo do Milano. I would like to see the Pisa Tower, and all the touristic places!
I would also like to taste their typical food, which I am not sure what it is, and visit a lot of museums, and learn more about their culture.
I would love to live a few years there, in order to study, to learn about the country and learn their language and most of all to travel to other countries that are near.
So I think that Italy is the best place to go to, with so much history behind, and beautiful places to visit!
And I can´t wait to read about the countries that you would like to visti!
Regards! :)

TRANSANTIAGO

Transantiago system was a big change compared with the previous system, and it began with a lot of problems about the routs, the bus stop, etc. but to me it wasn`t that bad at all.
I started to travel by bus two years before the transantiago started,, in 2005 and I was 14 years old when I first travel by myself,and to me the system was really good, I had to take the bus in order to get to my school, in peñalolen, and not too many people went there in the peak hours, so the bus was always empty and I always took a seat when I got the bus, and we had to pay with coins, wich I liked more, because I used to say to the dirver "can you give me a ride for..." (less money than what it was the students rate, jaja)
Then, when the transantiago system started I went to school in other place, in bellavista, and I did not take buses anymore, my mom drove me in the mornings and in the afternoon I came back to my house using the subway, so I didn´t really have problems with it the transantiago.
I started to use more the buses in 2009 when I entered to the university, but then I used to study in republica, and it was two years after the system began so there were a lot of problems already resolved and most of the time I travel in the subways, because it was faster in the mornings. And when I was not in a hurry, I used to take the buses, and a thing that annoyed a lot, was that the trayect of the buses were changed, it confused me a little at first. other think is that I thougt (and I still think) that the short trayects (those with the buses of colours) are very unnecesary, the "troncales" are more useful. But then when I entered to this university to study vet I appreciated that, jaja, because now exists the bus 216!
And other thing new about transantiago, is that now we use the "bip" to pay wich I thinki that it`s a good idea. Another great idea was that you have two hours to change buses, or take the subway ( no more than 3 times) and you don´t have to pay again.
So, I think that transantiago was a very drastic change compared with the previous system, and we were not prepared to it yet in 2007, but I must recognize that it has improve a lot, and like everything it has good and bad things and the only thing that I would like to incorporate to the buses are curtains, like the all buses used to have, jaja, because the sun is very annoying and dangerous!

my special 3!

 

cookie

Pepole say that dogs are man`s best friends, because they are friendly and most of all they`re very loyal pets.
In my case my best friends are two hamsters and a dog, and they are very unique in their own way.

My dog, named Cookie, it`s my favourite pet, it was my first pet ever, when I was little I wanted a dog so bad! and I got him when he was one month old, in december of 1998, he was given to me as a present and I couldn`t be more happy. Now he is a lot older, he`s 12 years old, but he still acts like a 2 year old, jhajaj. He loves to run and play and it`s a little messy, this is whay my mother hates him, he killed every single plant in our garden and he used to climb our trees in order to get to the roof and it was so exausting when we had to get him down of there. Inspite of all his energy you can tell he is getting older, now he has a heart disease, so he gets tired sooner than he used to, but this is not so bad at all, I can spend more time with him in peace.

Besides my dog, I also have two hamsters named Cremito and Ojitos, they are one year old now and I bought them as a christmas gift for my sister in 2009, and she loves them! They are very quiet in the day, but at night they made a lot of noise, they run in their runner wheel and fight a lot even though they are bothers, jaja they are very noisy actually, but they are so sweet and cute! and small! jaja, so it is easily to play with them.

What I think it`s funnier about my three pets it`s that they eat a lot! My dog loves eatting bread! I know its no good for his health but it`s crazy, sometimes he steals it from the kitchen! and the hamsters eats carrots, lettuce and seeds.
In the end, I think that they are great pets and a pleasant company.

So, people may say that dogs are man`s best friends, and they`re totally right, I love my dog, but that sentence it`s incomplete and needs to be change to "pets" because any animal can be our best friend.
