The second term of 2009 was like the headline says, a very productive one, but that was only in the academic context, although I had to retake FOUR subjects (yes, I failed in the most epic way in the second term of 2008).
As I said, that was a really productive time: I learned a lot of Physiopathology, which has been really useful to me now I'm taking Intern Medicine. Also, I finally could understan Genetics, but I'm still thinking that it's useless in the pre-grade level.
On the same topic, the second term of 2009 had one of the best academic experiences I've ever had in this career: I had my first shifts in a Horse Breeding Precinct called "Haras Paulina". A friend and I had the Tuesday night shift in which we had to give some water to the animals, check the mares which were about to foal, and check the physological constants of the foals.
As I had so much to study and some work in the horse breeding precinct, my social life, which honestly has never been too active, became only a shadow of what it was: I just hanged out with my university friends when we were in the faculty. Sadly, my social life is still stuck in the same state, although, I can see some signs of "recovery".
Luckily, this term ended so nice compare with the second term of 2008. I passed all my subjects, my entire family was alright, I assisted a mare to foal in one of my shifts, and for Christmas my parents gave me a Xbox 360 as a reward for all my physical and psycological effort done in the term (and also because I bothered so much asking them for it).
Transantiago u_u
jueves, 15 de abril de 2010
When the new transport system of Santiago started three years ago, I think I was one of the few people who was supportive about it. I must say that my opinion change a bit in the first week and I still think in the same way.
Comparatively, Transantiago has a lot of good things and, obviously, has some bad things too. First of all, as I see it, one of the best qualities of this new system is the change of the payment system; the use of the Bip! card make the work of the drivers safer to themselves and for the users of Transantiago.
Another good thing of this system is the partial change (at least) of the old yellow buses; the new ones, although they are slower than the yellow ones, are cleaner and more quiet than the old ones.
Unluckily, I've been a bit affected by this system: when I used the old system, it takes me half an hour to arrive to the faculty, but now it takes me one hour! That's because I have to do two changes: bus to undergroud, and underground to bus. That's the only bad thing, but I think it's a realy big deal.
To improve this system, I think that people in charge should analyze better the changes between bus and underground and get it better, because that's the point where this new system fails. I don't say that the changes must be removed, I say that they must be organized in a better way.
