Hi! Today I'm going to write about the Quinta Normal Park. This park is very important to me because is a place that I visited frequently cause I studied in a highschool in front of the park. Quinta Normal Park is in the city of Santiago of Chile, specifically in Quinta Normal.  The park was founded in 1841 for greenhouses to cultivate foreign plant species, but today is a recreational park for all ages. Into the park there several museum, including the National Museum of Natural History. This park is very big, with 35.5 hectares. The park has a lot of fields for differents sports, like football or basketball. Besides has large space where is very confortable to rest, with tall trees that are there since the park opened for greenhouses. I visited the park the majority of days with my friends of the highschool after finish the class, or before start the class to go into school happy. Well, I believe that this park is very beautiful and relaxing in a city like Santiago that haven´

Social Psychology

 I like the social psychology class, the first semester of the psychology career, made by Professor Valdivieso. In this class we review topics related to the actions of people referred to others, within the framework of a system of meanings that are born from the social. The acts and thoughts of the people, are signified according to their historical moment, so it is not possible to understand them simply from their experience of life; that is, we learn that what we are is a product of what we have built together in the social world. The classes are done by a teacher very didactic and close, reason why its class is very amena, with a good atmosphere to learn. The classes are complemented by the reading of texts that deal with the subjects discussed and authors reviewed.

Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and founder of psychoanalytic theory. He was born on May 6, 1856 in Freiberg, Moravia, in the bosom of a Jewish family.  In creating psychoanalysis, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association and discovered transfer, establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud innovated in two fields. He simultaneously developed, on the one hand, a theory of human mind and behaviour; And on the other, a therapeutic technique to help people with psychic affections.

On this basis Freud elaborated his theory of the unconscious to develop a model of psychic structure that later denominated psychic instances.  I am interested in psychoanalysis, but above all I like Freud's theory of subjectivity because he understand

My girlfriend, Mical Hello my name is Joaquin Elorza and I would like to show you a nice person that I met by chance at university. In this photograph I appear next to her, her name is Mical Caro and she is 21 years old. Like me, she studies psychology at the University of Chile, attending third year while I am in second grade. The beautiful coincidence was that in the first days of classes I was presented to my godmother, thanks to this event I began to know her every day a little more. The photo was taken in the enchanted forest, belonging to the region of Aysen, during our wonderful and entertaining summer vacations in which we backpacked for about three weeks. I´ve chosen this image as it reflects his beautiful smile and his flirty daisies that I have always liked, and I appear next to it as I would like it to remain.
