My future job

If I graduate as a psychologist, I would like that my future job be in a laboratory, either of cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, ethology or a scientific area of psychology because yet I don't imagine seeing patients at least as a clinical psychologist.

I think that not only a psychologist can help by a therapy, but also a psychologist can better the quality life of the people in emotional field and other fields for example by the progress of the science.

To devote myself to one these jobs, first  I should study a postgraduate, so that if I don´t feel trained to work in one of these jobs still, I imagine working in other area of psychology, but independently for example working as an industrial psychologist consulting enterprises or doing  vocational guidance to students in some high school or at a pre-university.

If I could to finish of study the postgraduate, I imagine doing research with a team for publish in a recognized journal for example Nature for then travel to present our study and listen to important conferences. In this laboratory, I don’t imagine an office only for me, but also one large room in where work with the other team, not only psychologist.

This idea about of my future is very ambitious dream, but if I try hard enough I can achieve this goal.

Las Meninas

My favorite piece  of art is the painting “Las Meninas”. This painting is of the century 19 and was painted by painter Spanish Diego Velázquez. 

At first sight, looks a painter, doing a portrait of the princess Margarita de Austria with her Meninas (maids) that they had visited of the workshop of the artist. I like this painting because has various details interesting and therefore, various interpretations.

One of these interpretations is that the painter that appears in this painting is Velázquez, creator of this painting, so that there is a self Portrait and portrait, but this portrait, that is, what appears on the canvas are Margarita’s parents: the king Felipe V and the queen Margarita de Austria, this can be observed looking the mirror of the wall. This detail is very interesting because for drawing to the king and the queen so small, this shows that they had him a great confidence to Velázquez. Finally, it is know that this mirror is not a painting because in the wall of the workshop appears paintings that actually exist.

My favorite concert

My favorite concert was on 28th November 2004, the day of my 11th birthday. This concert was two blocks from my house specifically in the patio of my school of primary, because it was organized by the municipality for the day of music. The band present was Sexual Democracia.

Sexual Democracia is a chilean band of rock popular that is known by songs like “Los chicos Buenos” Sudamérica Suda, Los pitutos, Profanador de cuna, and others. Last year this band fulfilled twenty-five years.

I remember that I went with my sister; my mom couldn’t go because my little brother was born the day before.  This was sad because I know Sexual Democracia from her listening to it all the time. 

For the majority the concert was unexpected. The people believed that in the patio of the school were only putting their music very strong besides of start late at night. In general the place didn’t have more than thirty people. It felt like a private concert for the day of my birthday. It is fun remembering that my sister and I were the only girls.
