My ideal Job


Does and ideal job exist? I hope so, because I'm looking for it. I can't say "my favourite job would be : (name of job)", but I can say what I would like that it has. For example, I would like to work in a place with othe people, not alone. That´s mean to talk with other coleagues, take a coffe between breakes, socializing and share information and jokes.
I also would like to have a job with a manual work, or something to do with my body or hands: not just reading and writing, also talk, move, draw...I like very much homemade thing, that why I need to find a job tha canalize my impulse of creation. I know that Psychology is not exatly the best career to canalize manual and artistical impulses (it should be in art in that case), but a hope to not just to be a psychologist. I would like to learn more about cooking, painting and improve my technique in piano.
I know that it will be very difficult to find a job (or jobs and activities) that permets me to develope all that I want to develope, but at least I have the motivation to reach that goal: to be and integral person.

Do schools kill creativity?


Las friday we saw a short movie about how schools or in general educational system doesn't promove creativity in children in despite of that they have a huge creative potential. The expositor is Ken Robinson, who is talking in a kind of congress for teachers.
As he said, educational system promove an specific kind of intelligence: that one related with cience, mathematics, logic and "usefull" knowledge to working in the future in owr "industry age". The result? Unhappy people and a dark future.
But there's an energy, a potential that everibody has, specially children: Creativity! that let us imagine new ways to see the world and promove a happy development. If we explore our own creativity, and work it, we would be happier and would develop our human potential.
Nowadays, at school and in houses, family and teachers think that kid's mistakes are error. They think that their rol is "we have to show him how it must be done". But they ignore that without mistakes is impossible to learn, and that mistakes are part of creativity.
I agree with Ken Robinson: The only solution for the dark and unsure future is accept that imagination and creativity are the keys to reach happines and a healthy solution.

My favourite subject


This year my favourite subject is the CFG that I take called "The cinema as art". Until now we have had 4 modules: The first one was about "experimental films" that was very boring...because the teacher just talked from his chear with a microphone very slowly...but almost he show us some experimental films as "Un chien andalou"(Boñuel). The second module was "Films and Literature". It was fine, but while the teacher (a new one, younger than the first one) was talking, he mention many things that he suppoused that we know (as french or german names, artist, etc). And the worst thing was that the data-show had something wrong, so we couldn't see anything. Fortunately, the third module was just amazing! "Films and theatre". The tirth teacher, a proffesor of theatre theory in the University of Chile, was very interesting, dinamic, and also he brought his son that studied "cinema" to compare both diciplines. We saw a movie called "Richard, the third" of Al Pacino. The last module that we have had is "Films, music and soundtracks". The teacher was funny, dinamic also and very motivated.
Well, I know that it doesn't have any relation with psychology, but thats why I like it, because it's something different that I learn every week.

My future


What will I do or be in five years more? What a difficult question! Because of i´m steel very young and I´m in my first year of Psychology...
Professionaly, I would like to pass all my subjects without repeat anyone, I would like to have more clear my line of work and projectation, and to feel that I took the right career (it doesn´t mean to think "oh! this is my dreamed career". It´s mean to feel that I enjoy my work and that I can live doing this every day...To fell confortable).
Personally, I would like to have a group of good friend, those with wich you can count when you are in trouble or when you need to talk. I think that that´s a very important think because in despite of all the problems you may have (economic problems, troubles in you family or at work), if you have good friends is easier to cope with every problem. It´s a kind of second family. And I would like to meet someone to share my life and feelings (yeah, a boyfriend), to share your ordinary life, hobbies and inclinations.
I hope to be living out of home in a little flat here in Santiago or, why not, out of this country.
