Summer holidays

I think we are in a special moment, because the year is ending, we are flooded in exams, everyday appear new activities to do, christmas is near and all this happens in only 31 days, so talk about holidays sounds like something near and far at the same time.

When i think on holidays comes to my mind sleep and wake up late, play video games for hours, go to swim when the day is hot, visit some friends to spend the time, travel through Santiago to know new places, eat delicious food that only appear on summer like watermelon, cantaloupe, "pastel de choclo", "humitas", go to the beach and eat sea food and fresh fish, go to the cinema in family or with friends, etc.

That's what i do the past years, but now it's different because I'm thinking in add new plans and activities like get a jobs and save some money, that because i have new expenses, my father recommended me a course to travel to USA and work for a month, but i'm not sure to accept, that because the course is in january and i finish the semester a mid january.

In this moment,  my family are talking about where we can go on holidays, it's a funny story that repeat every years because my father wanna go to the beach, my mother to the south, my big sister wanna travel abroad and my little sister complains about everything, in my case i think i'm happy going everywhere and know new places. The funny of the story is that in the end we use the opcion f "None of the above".




I remember the holiday of 2012, because was famous for the end of the world, the plan this year was go to "villarica" and spend the holidays there, but the day before we go, my father arrived from work and in the dinner says "Pack your bags, we're going to mexico".

Addiction: From coffee and tea to drugs of abuse

Honestly i don't know much about drugs of abuse, but i think every kind of drug will be a drug of abuse, If you go beyond the limits. So I'm going to talk about caffeine.

Caffeine is a bitter-tasting alkaloid that block the adenosine receptors; the adenosine is a nucleotide that one of its characteristics is to stimulate the sleep, so we can conclude that caffeine inhibit the sleep.

Well about drugs i used caffeine and alcohol, but a hard drug i'm not sure, once time ago with my friends in a party I tried marijuana, but i don't know if marijuana it's a hard drug. I remember that I vomited and the next day I still did not feel well, also remember that my friends had their eyes almost closed, they did not talk coherently, they laughed 5 minutes for nonsense and walked in a weird way.

It's complicated talk about benefits of drug, cause i think everything is good in an acceptable portion. For example drugs as alcohol and caffeine are good to enjoy with friends or work more efficiently for a moment, but excessive use may lead to dependence, gastritis, diarrhea, convulsions in the case of caffeine and heart problems, damage neurons, among others, in the case of alcohol.

Examples of withdrawal symptoms can be mood swings, depression, irritability, amongst other. I don't know a person with drugs abuse, but that can be because i'm not  a very worried person about other, so maybe i'm closer to someone and I do not realize their condition.

The only impact on the career that comes to mind is to create food with dangerous additives for people or in the future certain chemicals become illegal by new research.

Post-graduate studies

If i have to decide a postgraduate course, it will be Magister of management, quality and food safety, because i think it will help me a lot to find a good job, and honestly I find it interesting.

Why I want to do this magister?, It's for many reasons, one of this is because i think it will help me to work in many places like Food exporters, Quality management of companies, work in food processing, amongs other.
another reasons it's because i think is very interesting this magister and i can complement this with lots of areas like Health, safety, administration, among other.





When I saw the study plan, I was interested in the following subjects: Course of Systems of Management of the Quality; Course of Microbiology, Hygiene and Food Safety and Course on Food Safety Management Systems. I found this subjects intersting and think will help me lots when I start to work.

Where I want to study?, do a magister in a foreign country sounds very attractive and if the opportunity appear I'll take it without hesitation, but I think i'm going to do a magister in Chile, because travel to another country and pay the magister it's very expensive.


I think the more comfortable way to study is the classic, go to the place where it be taken and do it as school, although another alternative sounds good, i prefer take a course an concentrate on this.
