Summer holidays

For now, I have no plans for my vacation. I don't know if my vacation will start in january or february, so it's hard start planning something. My mom have plans, but she have time in january, and Im not sure if I will can.

At the end, I probably go to Chillan. A classmate lives there, and as with the rest of my friends we have no idea what to do for the holidays, we are thinking about visiting her. But she told us that in Chillán there's nothing to do, except be with her and watch movies. And it's good for my. I just know I do not want to spend the summer in Santiago.

With a friend from school we are thinking that we want to travel. We want to go to the beach, or maybe to the south. Our big dream is going to Spain, because she have a aunt who can receive us. Once there, we want to take a train, of these that travel throughout Europe. I was thinking I can take a train here, in Chile, but the other day a friend told me it's a awful experience. Im willing to try, but Im afraid she's right.

My friend also want to take a bus to Mendoza, and of course, I would go with her if she does. We have many plans and ideas to travel, but the problem is, where would we stay? There are still many things to be solved, but we are young and we are motivated, so I think we can figure it out.

Painful memories

I think the better way to remember the painful memories is start to think about how many scars I have. Thanks god, I think I only have one and is a small one. But, it doesn't mean it wasn't painful.

I was like six years old, maybe a little more. I was camping with my parents. It was saturday, and I was so bored. My friends and my family were having lunch, but I already finished, so I was looking for something to do. My mom had forbidden me to climb in a specific three, because she thought it was dangerous, but I really wanted to do it, because that tree had a couple of boards and was something like a "tree house" (a really poor one). All my friends usually climb, but I didn't. Until that day. How my mom was lunch, I was thought she'd never find out, so I climb. When I was in the middle, I tripped and to avoid the fall, I clung to the tree. But this one had a nail out, so when I slipped I cut my abdomen. I remember going to the bathroom trying not to cry and wash the wound, waiting for the blood stop coming out. But it hurt a lot, so I decided that my mother's punishment for climb couldn't be worse that the injury, so I've comeback to the camp and saw the face of terror from all.  I'm not sure what happened later. I do know I wasn't a punishment. The scare and the wound were enough lesson.

Postgraduate studies

When I finish my career,  I want to study pedagogy. I'm not sure if this count as a "postgraduate" course, because it have no relation with biochemistry, but I really want to be a teacher someday. At least for a year. The other day in class someone ask me why I want to do this, and in that moment I doesn't know why, but I've been thinking about that, until I find the answer.

Back at school, I really liked my teachers. They was so nice, but the most also was so lazy. I love biology and chemistry, but my teacher sucks! And now I'm the only one of my classmates who studies something that has to do with science. I truly believe that science its something awesome, and I want to show others how great can it be. I want to be the example I didn't have. My mom is a teacher, and everyday I listen to her and discover how beautiful is to teach. Be a teacher sounds like have new experiences and learn new things everyday.  I fins it interesting because I don't want to do the same thing all my live and pedagogy sounds like a good choice.

But, Going back to the sciences, I think I want to study microbiology or biomedicine. Or maybe something like genetic. These are (for now) my three favorite topics. I think I will like to study in other country, but I don't know where.

My future job

A classmate told me that the next topic would be "my future job" and since that day I tried to think of something, but still have no answer. I mean, I really want to work in science, that's why I'm here, but I don't know exactly what area. Maybe, microbiology. One of the first days I had to interview a teacher who had studied biochemistry. His name was Carlos Santiviago and his specialty was microbiology. When I saw how much he loved what he was doing, I rembember myself thinking something like "Wow, microbiology has to be amazing". But also I like other areas, so I'm not sure.

For now, the only thing I know is that I want a job that have relation with research. Outdoor and Indoor sounds good to me, but I think is a little difficult get one outdoor, because its more probably get a job in a lab.
I really want to travel in my job! I mean, in my life plan, I will travel a lot. It's more probably that happens in my vacations, but if in my job I have the opportunity to travel, I will take it.
I hope the salary will be enough to travel at least a week outside the city where I will live.

My real dream is to work because I love what I do. Don't work for money or obligation (I mean, I obviously will need the money, but I hope that wouldnt the main reason)
