My faculty

University of Chile has a lot of faculties, one of them is Veterinary Medicine, this is our faculty and it can be a really lovely place, but like a lot of things, it has its problems.
For example, lack of teachers, we have great teachers yes, but they're not enough for the amount of students that come to this faculty. Another thing is classrooms, they were fixed i think three years ago, when i came into the university and they're really great, but i think it would be awesome if they had more technology like better video projectors and better microphones for the teachers to be heard.
Also i think the casino could be restored, and their food not to be so expensive, 'cause it's not such a great meal for it to cost that much, and the variety of the food, for example, i'm a vegetarian and the only thing i can eat when i don't bring my own food is bread with salads, or the salad alone, 'cause normally lunch would bring meat, pasta with meat, rice with chiken, i would buy if there was more to choose.
I think that if i want to help and get this things improved i would go to talk to the CEV, 'cause they're like the face of the students in front of the authorities.
I think the improvement would be for everyone in the faculty, 'cause classes could be more clear and understandable, and teachers would have less work and more time to do their researches, and concernig the casino issue, i guess all of the students would agree with me that it's no good, and i heard a lot of times how they would like it to be changed.
For now those are my request, nothing to big or impossible, we just need to be united and ask for what is right for us.

Dreamy Places

Hello there!

In this world, there's lots of places to visit. I want to tell you something about the place i would love to go and why.

England for me is a place i would love to meet, mainly because i love the music and the culture from that place. I have special reasons why i would like to travel there: one is because i love the music that was and is made there, and the other is 'cause of my school's english teacher who is very dear to me, and she loves England.

Being there, i'd like to go to London and see river Thames, the Big Ben, Picadilly Circus, the London Eye, and so many other places, and i'd probably buy everything i see (a little compulsive) xDD.
Also i would like to see all those haunted castles spread all over England, even when i am a person who doesn't like to be scared to death (i get scared too easy, like TOO easy). I've heard about really creepy and horrible stories about those places and i'm sure i would enjoy it and at the same time hate it.
Also, and this is something very dear to me, i'd love to go to Liverpool, just because i love The Beatles with my soul and life (a little too much). I would visit the places where they were born and probably do The Magical Mystery Tour, and go to The Cavern Club, and again buy tons of stuffs (if i had the money).

I was thinking the other day about going to live or study abroad there, i haven't done researches about Veterinary schools in England, but if there's one and is a good one, i'd love to go and give it a try, i think is a wonderful opportunity to meet new places and gain some experience in life and studies.

Is always a nice experience to meet new and different cultures and while being in England i could practice my english too :)

Transport: Transantiago's Style

Well, in today's blog we're supposed to talk about Santiago's transport system, Transantiago.

I remember when this system started, i think in 2007, and what the news reports showed us was like hell, people hitting each other to catch a bus, endless waits, and people who had to walk a long time to get to the bus stop.

During that time (and before Transantiago) i didn't have to use the public transport, 'cause i lived really close to my school so i got there walking or in my dad's car, the main reason why i didn't use a bus regulary until 2009, that was the year i entered university, so i don't have a really informed opinion about the old system, but the only thing i want to say about it is that the buses were hideous and it was an irregular system.

I like this system and i think that now is a lot better than when it started it, especially in their schedules and the formality, also because of the Bip! system which i like more than having to pay with actual money.

I really don't know what i would do to make it better, maybe more new buses, 'cause there's places where they're still the old, dirty ones, who contaminate so much more than the new ones.

And about the ticket price...i think (at least for me) is awesome! Because i travel across all the town, just for $130 and if a had a car i would spend at least the triple in fuel and other stuff, so for me, it's marvelous and i hope it continues to get better and better :)

♥ Dominga and Benito ♥

Today session is about our pets!! So, like is expected of us, students of veterinary medicine, we have a lot of pets and love them with all our heart.
At least in my case, i'm a total dog-person, i had lived my whole life with them by my side and i have two lovely, adorable, fluffy, kind and funny couple of labrador dogs. They're blonde and big and fat.

One is Dominga ♥, the oldest one, she's five years old. We got her from a friend of one of my father's work colleague. 
She has a wonderful and funny personality, she's so histerycal, you can hear her cry when she feels you get home, and when she had finally spotted at you, she runs and grabs anything in her way and presented it to you like it's some kind of gift, and she's always hungry, so we have to take care of her foods or she would gain weight like a maniac!

My other dog is Benito ♥, he's four years old. We bought him in a restorant where the owners had a couple of labrador dogs with a new litter of fluffy puppies, and a while ago our previous dog, Simon ♥, had passed  away, so when we saw Benito, all cute and little, my father decided to buy him to be Dominga's new brother.
He is so calm and lovely, he's the hug kind of dog, he likes to lick you in the face, and sometimes he climbs to the dinner chairs when we have finished eating and we're talking and sits there listenig to us, it's like he was another person. He also likes to make a lot of noises you know! my mother likes to sing to him 'cause he starts to answers xD

I just love them so much 'cause they're a part of my family, just like brother and sister to me (except for the extra hair xD) and they fill me with joy :).

For the record, i don't think i need another pet for now, but i would love to have a ferret! They're lovely! >3<

Right now i'm happy with my sweet dogs and hope they live long and prosper :)
