beloved laboratory

Hello friends, today I will talk about my favorite subject ... the laboratory of organic chemistry.

I really love chemistry laboratories, but it got my attention even more, I learned a lot of things and I had a good time because I was surrounded by nice and very intelligent people.

The organic chemistry laboratory is 100% practice, but at the beginning of the class they explain the necessary theory. This laboratory was on Mondays at 2 pm, every Monday we synthesized a different product such as: 2-methoxynaphthalene, t-butyl chloride, acetylsalicylic acid, etc. I never thought I'd synthesize aspirin so fast !! The synthesized product was allowed to dry to weigh it the following week and see what the performance of your reaction was ... it was disappointing haha ​​.. your performance never exceeded 60% !!

This product synthesis is based on techniques you learn in the organic chemistry class, so if you didn't go to organic chemistry classes, you were going to be really lost in the lab classes!

It really was a great experience, teachers and assistants guide you throughout the synthesis process so that your product is pure. I hope the next lab is that good :)

a new blogger

Hi classmates, here we are, for the last time :(
I hope your experience as a blogger has been good, for my part it was.
I had never thought before that I could write a blog. It was an incredible experience ...
The truth is that I do not consider myself good writing, I have a hard time expressing myself through writing, but doing this blog has helped me a lot with that. Especially for my career, which does not have that "humanist" side.

From time to time it is good to write, even just for you ... for example Sometimes, when I am sad, I take a notebook and start writing what I am feeling, then I read it and think ... really this is so important to be this sad? Is it life or death?, Etc ... and that helps me a lot.
I think that the English blog is a very original and entertaining experience, where we can meet our classmates without the need to talk to them, that's why I would like more blogs to be included about:
-important trips in your life
-family, friends
-what you like most about your home
-the most important person in your life
and more ..
Anyway friends, I hope to find you in English 4 <3

my friend, anxiety

Anxiety is an emotion, sensation (or whatever you want to call it) that we have all experienced at some time in our lives. It makes us feel restless, nervous, worried with fear and panic. It is expressed with tremors, palpitations, cold hands, sweating, etc.
It is normal to worry about situations that may seem stressful, complicated or new, such as having to face an exam, an important date, a presentation to your classmates, etc. These are not situations that do not represent a real threat to our security, but they can make us feel threatened by possible shame, worried about making a mistake, adapting to the situation, getting stuck in words or being accepted or rejected. this we call "normal anxiety"
But when you spend too much time worried or nervous, or if you have trouble sleeping because of anxiety, pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. They can be symptoms of a problem or an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorder is a mental health problem that is related to experiencing too much anxiety, fear, nervousness, worry or terror. Too steady or too intense anxiety can make a person feel worried, distracted, tense and always alert. Studies showed that women are twice as likely to suffer anxiety as men, it could be due to differences in brain chemistry and hormonal changes in the female sex. On the other hand, people living in Europe and North America are much more affected. For example, social anxiety in the West usually manifests itself with an intense fear of social situations, a lot of self-awareness and fear of being judged or criticized when interacting with others. However, in Asia, there is a similar construct called taijin kyofusho, which manifests as an irrational fear of offending or distressing others due to personal self-perceived inadequacies.

"I belive that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician; he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales"

—Marie Curie

I remember that when I was in 7th grade of primary school, my chemestry teacher told us about Marie Curie, my teacher spoke with great pride, as reflected in her...from that day I have not stopped admiring this great woman.

Marie Slodowska (her name before marrying Pierre Curie) was born in Poland in 1867, there, at  that time women were forbidden to go to university, so despite everything she went to study in France. There, she got a degree in physics and mathematics. 

Maire was looking for an interesnting topic for her doctoral thesis, based on the discovery of Bequerel: natural radioactivity, that how it went she descovered 2 new chemical elements: polonium (that was called like that his native country) and radium. For this and many other investigations, she was the first woman to win two Nobel prizes, of physics and mathematics. 

I wonder, how not to admire this remarkable scientist, who despite born in a macho country, living with scarce economic resources, and having a daughter , never left the investigation aside, she was a woman passionate about science. she simply dedicated her life to science.

Finally she died of aplastic anemia, as a result of the radiation to which she was exposed in her work.

keep calm and love animals

Hello friends! Today I will tell you something I love: animals ...
It is difficult to explain, but I feel so much appreciation for animals, much more than for humans, we have simply come to the world to ruin their environment, we have damaged them so much ... we owe them a lot :(
A while ago I became more conscious and consistent about my love towards animals, I just stopped eating them ... and started looking for alternatives to reduce pollution among other things.

If possible, I would have pets of all types ... but unfortunately I have only had dogs :(
I really love each one of the dogs that I have had in my life, they are always present in my heart even if they have left this world: '(
My first dog was called Tomy, I had it when I was 10 years old. He was a beautiful "chow-chow", he
had great skill with his little paws, when he did not want you to stop caressing him, he caught your leg with his little paws and he would not let you go ... it was very sweet <3 One day I arrived from school and my dad I was waiting with sad news ... they wanted to go in to steal my house and so that Tomy would not stop them from doing it ... they poisoned him :( It was very sad, but my little baby is always in my heart <3
I currently have 3 puppies, their names are Droopy, Draco and Tyson, they have the power to make me smile in any way :) I really love them! I wait every weekend to go see them in my plot in melipilla, to hug, kiss and caress them <3 

Here is a picture of Tyson and Droopy when they were babies!!

my puppies are my models

Hi classmates! Today I will tell you about my favourite photography, I do not really have just one.
I love taking pictures of my dogs, and obviously my favourite photographs are of them. I really love dogs, I feel that don't exist nothing best in the world, they are very noble and loyal.
 It was very difficult to choose among so many pictures of my puppies, but I managed to choose two that I find very funny.

The first photo is of my dog named Draco, I take it in my plot in Melipilla, It's amazing... he's smiling:) I took this picture about three weeks ago. When I see this photo I get very happy:)

that same day, I took a picture of Draco and my other dog named Droopy, this time Draco is kissing Droopy, I just love this picture, every time I see the picture I die of tenderness.

I can't get my hand out of the phone

hi! I hope that you had a good week, today i'm go to talk about my favourite piece of thechnology... so, by the title you will imagine that it is... THE PHONE!

I remember when I was 7 years old I had my first mobile, Santa Claus gave to me at christmas. 

I loved him! it was very very small and I used it to play snake. The screen was green and had keys, not had bluetooth, infrared or camera.

Then, every year I had a new cell phone, I remember when I had my first Iphone, it was the iphone 3, I felt in the future. 

You will be wondering why I chose the cell phone among so many technologies. I just love it! I can do everything with him, from the basics like calling my friends and family, to see a movie. 

what I like to do most on my cell phone is to watch netflix, play games and, above all, check my social networks. I use it every day, I think from 5 to 6 hours.

The truth, if the cell phone did not exist, it would be good and bad at the same time.

If I was not with the cell phone all the time I would pay more attention to what happens araund me, also I would not desconcentrate in my daily tasks, like studying. 

But, if it did not exist I would feel disconnected from the world and bored at certain moments.
