SUMMER PLANS

The summer before, I went north specifically to Antofagasta so now I would like to go south maybe Villarica, Pucón or near of it.  I would like go to vacation with my parents but my mom has physical limitations that don’t allow her to go on vacation and my father doesn’t have a stable job so he can’t stop working. So, all my travels are with my aunt and cousin. We are three adventurers who love to walk and meet new places.

As I don’t know anything of that place would obviously start with places known as the eyes of Caburgua, Lake Villarrica, Lake Tinquilco, Salto Del Claro or some of the hot springs that are there.

If I really manage to go south, it would be really fun to practice water skiing or those extreme water games like flyboard. It's been a long time since I wanted to practice it and I hope this summer I can do it.

I don’t rule out the possibility of going to the beaches of the coast because the night atmosphere is interesting and you can do many activities.

Maybe this summer I'll go on vacation with my friends from high school but it's a big challenge to agree in the stuff that we will take or the places that we will visit so there we will see.

This summer I don’t plan to work or study, NO WAY! Tell me lazy but I need a long time of rest!

FLYBOARD!!!

Back to the Past

I had never taken moment to reflect about it but I would probably go to the future. I would be very interested to know what I will be doing in a few more years, if I will have a family, if I will be working on something related to my career, if I will be working on what I want, if I will be happy and if I will have fulfilled my dreams.

If I would come back to the past I choose my childhood probably when I was 7/8. When I was that age, I lost my grandfather and he's the reason why I still fighting every day. He was a so special person for me, in a fact still he's my person, and I always remember him like a person who made me happy. I just want to be there to remember all the happy moments that we spent and the crazy stuff that we did together, so I know he's always with me so I wouldn't be that long in my childhood. I make many bad decisions that I would like to change and I and past for many situations that I would like to past again.

I think in the past I was very permissive, I never said NO. Many people were so rude with me and hurted me a lot for the insecurity that projected and the lack of love for myself. Now, I’m a different person and all that situations made me stronger and helped me to learn to love myself.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

I have to accept that before I came university I researched the postgraduate courses that this university imparts and none really serves me. As I told you in the last blog, of all the areas in which a pharmaceutical chemist can work, I am passionate about the cosmetic area. For that reason, I don't see myself in a postgraduate course.

However, in my research, I found other options that are equal to or better than that. So I'll tell you a little bit about them today.

If you are studying chemistry and pharmacy, you will probably remember the talks given by many pharmaceutical chemists who were specialists in different areas. Well, I told my situation to Miss Ivon Abuawad (if you don't remember her, I'll give you a little description: curly hair, blonde, President of Directorate of the Cosmetic Chamber of Chile)

She helped me a lot and told me about some courses of cosmetic specialties that are made in Argentina. Then I found out on their website about them and they have so many courses! Each one is to specialize in one area of the body so when you finish one basically you're an expert.

Obviously, I will look for some opportunities in the cosmetic laboratories in Chile like Petrizzio, Etienne, Colorbel,  Lacofar or something by style. Therefore, if nothing convinces me I will have to migrate for following my dreams. 

If you want to study something like what I want it must be a face-to-face study and most of the time in a laboratory so if you like how it sounds, I invite you to follow me on my journey.

My future job

The job of my dreams probably would be work in a beauty company. Since I was a teenager, I always liked things related to beauty for hair, face, body but mainly makeup stuffs. I can imagine me doing everything in the beauty industry, from creating a product until design the packaging of it. Obviously, I would be better in something related to my actual career but I could learn a lot on the road. I would like to work in a different country, yes, I’m very close to my parents but it would be a challenge that I would like to do. 
 I would prefer an indoor job although if you work in a beauty company you have to travel a lot so it would be different to my preference but it’s OK.

As usual, all the jobs in the beauty industry are well paid because all is “trend and sell” so the salary it would be very good.

Nowadays I’m studying chemistry and pharmacy and the reason why I chose this career was because since I had 15 I started to like the “cosmetics world” and since that, I couldn’t go out. So this career gives me the possibilities to know more about it and learn all about my passion.

The world of cosmetics is very diverse and every day are appearing new formulas and products that revolutionize the markets. Maybe someday I'll be able to give my contribution in that world and try to work on what I want. So let’s wait and see what happens in the future.
