Postgraduate Studies

In the future, I really would like to do postgraduate studies. I would like to do a Magister and a PhD in some forensic psychology's area. Probably i'd have to go out, to another country I mean, because here in Santiago, Chile, there is no specialization in that kind of knowledge. If have to choose, maybe I'd like to study in Spain. There a lot of universities in there that teach forensic psychology profoundly. 

On the other hand, another area of my interest is the use of entheogens in psychotherapy. I think there a lot of therapeutic potential in this class of substance, but in Chile there is no development in this field. I don't really know if there is a kind of official studies in a foreign country about this, but I hope the future research contributes in this knowledge. Maybe because of that, I would like to do a Magister in  clinical psychology in adults (this is available in Chile's University). I think that this area would bring me the tools for make a better job with people, and to complement the new kind of therapy that I would like to practice. 

If I have lucky, really good organization, and (don't forget) some money, I'll combine both knowledge. By now, I'll focus in finish my bachelor degree.

Regards! 

My future job

Hello to everyone! Today I am going to talk about my possible future job. I put "possible", because maybe the things could change... I mean, you never know where you can be tomorrow. Well, I would like to earn money being an astronaut... but I'm not going to fantasize about what I could be in another dimension.

Currently, I'm psychology student, so I imagine that in 2 years (if everything goes fines) I'm going to work as a psychologist. Probably it will be a desk work, because I like clinical and juridic psychology, and those kind of jobs are in an office. I really don't like too much that idea, but I think I'll have some extra time to do things that involve movement, such as sports or travels.
 

I hope I'd can travel a lot, because I like to be moving. Maybe after I get my bachelor degree in my university, I'll going to study in another country. I don't know with clarity about what I'm going to specialize... I suppose I have time to think well my options before that time gets. 

About the salary... I don't have many expectations, because the stadistic often says that a psychologist doesn't earn a lot. But I don't want many luxuries in my life, as long as I travel a lot and keep learning I will be happy.

My favorite animal: Seahorses

Hi everyone, today i'm going to writte about seahorses. This is because this animal is my favorite one, and it is really interesting.

Seahorse

Seahorses are called hippocampus too. They swing in a vertical position, which is very different from other fishes. This implies that they are not as good swimmers as other sea creatures, they can even  die of exhaustion in high current waters because of his poor ability to swim. But its large dorsal fin helps them move. 

Coral Net

Also, they have a crown called "coral net", which is different among them. Another curious fact is about their eyes: The seahorse's eyes are able to move independently of each other. Besides, the male seahorse is the one who carries the eggs, he has them in his body for 45 days. In other words, males get pregnant. On the other hand, the female lays up to 1500 eggs in the male during mating.

Males seahorses pregnant.

Seahorses have no teeth or stomach, so their digestion process is extremely fast. That's why they spend a lot of time eating. They just swallow their prey as it is, as long as it fits in their snout. Mostly, they eat zooplankton.

The size of seahorses varies greatly between species: they can measure from 18 millimeters in length to 30 centimeters.

Hippocampus minotaur gomon, 18 mm. of lenght.

They can also change color to blend in with their environment. This is their only defense mechanism against predators. If they fight each other, they usually use their tail.

Well, that was the seahorse and its most curious data...  

Hope you liked! 

Regards!
