Hi classmates! I chose psychology, my actual university career in the University of Chile, because of the curriculum design with approach to social science. In the third year I have to elect between a lot of course, with different perspectives about the contemporary psychology and alternative work fields. The last year, students were called to discuss about some changes in the future study curricular subjects, but I was not able to take part on discussion on content. But the big curriculum changes are not unique, because year to year I can see little modifications in some class, like psychology in the first year or epistemology. Apparently these subjects incorporated theoretical framework in relationship with specific social changes. For example, this year in the first year of psychology the teacher speak a lot about mental health and the history of this concept, to think about the last mobilization in FACSO.

The Faculty facilities are under construction until now. I don´t see too much changes because the new building is covered with walls, everything in wood trupan, but I think in next years the changes will be awesome, more spaces to share with classmates and even expect more green areas.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with the finalization of the new infrastructure. For now we live with sounds of machines, beeps, peeps and whistles of different backhoes. When I study in the morning I feel every day the engines and is a part of my daily life, with the chirping of  the dove in the windows. In the night I hear sometime the auger, like cutting my head to sleep.

Sense 8


Hi classmates! I don't see so much series because I don´t have too much time recently. But every week I intend to watch one chapter of Sense 8 on Netflix. Sense 8 was a series directed by the Wachowski's sisters about a new form of human being, called sensates. They are very special people who are interconnected in groups of eight persons, they share his intimate universe like a brainstorm of thoughts, feelings, and knowledge of eight humans being from different parts of the world.
I love too much Sense 8 because is a science fiction series and is not easy speak about so deeply regarding themes such love, about the importance of the recognition of ourselves in our differences and the fear in a world more and more singular with new forms of life.
Other important things to me, on a Tv show, is the musical soundtrack and in Sense 8 is very impressive how the lyrics, the atmosphere, and the situation of the series combine in very emotional scenes.
I very enjoy the science fiction series. Now I want to see the second season of The Oa, very different to Sense 8, but with a mysterious background about what is real in our daily life with travels into other dimension and stranges and very cool steps of a dance. I have only seen the trailer but it doesn´t see very well as the first season. I hope to be wrong.
