A country I would like to visit...The wonderful Republic of Ireland

One of the countries I would like to visit someday is Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, I am interested in visiting that country because through literature, films and music I have learned something of its culture and landscapes, which I find very fascinating and beautiful, so I would love to be able to be there. I would like to do many activities there, which let me know their art and cultural scene, its heritage and its wonderful landscapes. I would love to know specially Dublin, go to the theater, visit art galleries, enjoy concerts, visit places of historical significance such as castles and monuments, visit national parks to enjoy the beauty of Irish scenery and wonderful wildlife, I would also love to explore some Irish island, and of course eat a traditional Irish breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, cereals, potato cake, tomato, bread and tea, an extremely caloric dish, but I imagine it must be delicious. Finally, I would like to know more deeply the Celtic culture and the diverse cultures that have built the history of Ireland. Moreover, if I had the chance I would like to live some time in Dublin and perform some specialized course in community psychology. I hope I can do all this at some point in my life.

My first term...

Hello everyone! We are back now, talking about new things, but it is also interesting to remember what happened the previous term. What about university? During the first term of 2009 I had six subjects: educational psichology, legal psychology, laboral psychology, clinical psychology, community psychology and english. Without a doubt my favorite subject was community psychology, in which we treated themes as poverty, environmental problems and interculture. In my opinion the most boring subject was laboral psychology, because talking about businesses and recruitment is not very interesting for me.
Last semester, in my free time, wich in general is very limited, I started working voluntarily as coordinator of the educational plan of Un techo para Chile in a rural area of Maipú called La Farfana, where I continued working until now, this experience has been wonderful because it relates to my personal and professional interests.
I also participated in some outdoor activities organized by a women association, these activities includes biodance and meditation, we usually developed these recreative activities in Parque Forestal, a very beautiful place in the centre of Santiago and one of my favorite places of the city.
I think the biggest challenge was to organize my time to respond to my responsibilities, enjoy what I was doing and to spend time with my friends and family.
Sincerely I believe that first term was very positive for me, so I hope this term will be also good.
See you!
