Changes In My Study Programme

The Food Engineer is a professional who has the knowledge and scientific and technological skills that allow him to plan, direct, research and innovate products and processes of the food area, taking care of the harmonious development of his environment.

In the faculty of chemistry and pharmaceuticals of the University of Chile the degree consists of 11 semesters, in daytime, semi-flexible curriculum.

The study programme of engineering on food in the first years is the same that the others career in the faculty in the first year we had two subject of engineering:
introduction to food engineering in the fisrt semester and introduction to food engineering two in the second semester, I think that we need subject more practical and not so theoretical
to test what we learned.

The work load and the duration of the studies is stressful especially in the first years because one is not used and also because not all of us have the same base.
In my particular case at school I was doing very well in chemistry and something that did not help me much when I entered the school because one of the subject that cost me the most was general one.

In general I don´t like the infrastructure of the faculty I think it should improve a lot first of all we don´t have a place to eat and we lack more green areas.
Places that serve to relax and clear a bit of the stress of the study in if more places to share

Summer Holidays

When I think in summer holidays always my first thought is in travelling or going out somewhere outside Santiago. I don´t know exactly what i´m going to doing but i´m be planing to go backpacking whit my best friend. we have not seen or planing to much the route but we have saved money so far this year, obviously I still need a lot so my idea is to find a job when I'm not so busy with the U so I do not stress.

The idea is to get to Colombia because is the country that we like the most but the plane ticket is very expensive so we would have to arrive by bus. To take advantage of that we would visit Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. If it did not happens I think we would go to some place in Chile, I prefer the south because I feel I do not know anything there.

I like to visit this places with my best friend, because we can enjoy and discover together, and because is a person I know from a long time ago so I trusted her and I would really like to share this experience with her. 

Activities that are thinking of being part of: first of all a rest a lot, go out to
to go anywhere do the thing that I couldn't do for be studying and if I travel, meet new people and places.

ADDICTION: FROM TEA AND COFFEE TO DRUGS OF ABUSE

I spend a lot of time with my friends and when we are in a party or in a social event we used to drink something such as beer, pisco, wine (I really love wine) and smoked marijuana. 

Alcohol is something that I used to drink only in social events or meetings with my friends is something that I prefer to do when I’m spending time with people I love and trust. The effects of drinking it depends how much did you drink if you only have a glass of wine probably you wouldn’t feel anything but if you drink more than three glass of wine you’ll feel sick then you could throw up because when you drink a lot of alcohol it could be dangerous if you are not used to. 

People and doctor used to say that a glass of wine is good to health it helps to keep your heart healthy and reduce your colesterol but only one glass of wine at day. And addiction is always a bad thing because it means that you don’t have control about how much do you drink or smoke it depends of the drug, if you don’t have control about what getting into your body, you are in front of a situation of addiction and you can go out of that situation with help of a profesional person. Drugs are really dangerous for those who can’t control their need of intake this substances. Nowadays is very common see people smoking cigarettes or marijuana or drinking alcohol at parks. It is a serious problem because is majority young people that tried to scape from reality drinking or smoking and that’s not the solution I think everyone can drink or smoke but people need to be informed about it to know how they spend their money and how good are drugs for their bodies. 

POST GRADUATE STUDIES

When i think about what i do in the future in respect about a post graduate, i think in take a Master to help me develop my skills properly.

The food area is one of the most productive and dynamic sectors of our country, presenting an important pole of economic development. Being the area of ​​management, quality and food safety very important, that is the reason why I would like to do a master's degree in food with mention management, quality and food safety in order to have greater depth and management of scientific, technological and technological knowledge management. 

I would like to study abroad to open my mind to more options and study in other place would help me to know more languages. The food engineering career in Chile is not yet so well known, so I imagine that there must be more projects or more innovations outside and I could also see the implementation of these innovations here (Chile). I think I would take a part-time course for having a job who pay the course, and for having some free time so as not to stress me so much.

FUTURE JOB

In a near future I can see myself working in the same thing that I’m studying today. I’m a future food Engineering. I would like to spend my whole life working on this because I really love my career but I would like In a near future be working in an outdoor space where I can do my work and be in contact with the nature at the same time. Also I would like to have my own project,
the salary does not matter. First, I need a lot of capital to start my business, so you will not see immediate results, and you will have to spend a long time to see bigger profits, I will need a lot of patience and effort, to get this project and working on that for my whole life. I hope that I would be earning a lot of money and that’s one of the reason what I want to work on my own project in that way I can manage my own business, my own money and also I’ll be working in something that I love.

And after all that enjoy travel around the world meeting new places and living new adventures. Hopefully I could do all that I want thanks to my future job.
