Studying Psychology

When I think Why am I studying psychology? I think that I could say two important things: The first is that at the beginning I wasn't too sure that it was my best choose. I could have chosen another career but when I started studying I found some topics, subjects and things to do that really likes me. Moreover, being psychologyst I could work in a lot of different places and work in a lot of different problems. I think that psychology developed my social responsability and that is so important to me.
Psychologyst can help people to a lot of things from help to people reparing their personal problems to help to communities resolving their political problems. Exists psychologysts that helps to improve educational levels in some schools too and many others (but I think that these psychologyst don't help to society too much) that work in companies selecting workers.
In the future, I think that the most important thing that psychologysts need, it's help for their projects and investigations. There is a lot of great ideas that could help to do a better society, but because most of the projects don't have comercial objectives, that projects are rejected. In this way, Psychologysts needs a change in the actual economical thinking.
Finally, along the career, I have had a lot of favourite subjects but if I choose my favourite three I could say: Delevopment Psychology, Social History of Chile and Educational Psychology.

Dancing Rock n' Roll : The Best Photo

I can't remember exactly who took the photo, I think that was a classmate's mom. I was with her, and in that moment I couldn't suppose that she would be my girlfriend. In that moment, she liked me and for the school we have too prepare a coreograph. I was on third grade and she was my classmate. It happened 13 years ago, at mother's day and our teacher wanted to make a great spectacle. Then she decided that we had to dance rock n' roll.
Specifically, the photo shows me dancing with Daniela, my actual girlfriend. There, I'm on my knees, holding her hand and she is stood. She's smiling, but something very funny is that when you look her smile, you can see that she don't have a teeth! When we see that photo together, we exploded laughing!
This photo likes me very much because it reminds me a lot of good moments of my chilhood and school, and when we look the photo (me and Daniela) we still explode laughing and we talk a lot of time of the school time, our classmates, teachers, etc.

The ISPP website

The ISPP (International Society of Political Psychology) is an asociation that pretends to establish a community of scholars and concerned individuals in universities, government, the communications media, and elsewhere, who have scientific and practical interests in examining the relationship between political and psychological phenomena; For this, the ISPP make projects at several countries and publishes it in his website, and for this same website supports communication with people from differents places.
For some psychology students, political psychology is a wonderful topic, so interesting and important, for psychology's development and this is a very important topic to me. This website I found it two years ago when I read some articles of political psychology for my courses and wanted to know more about this, so I found the ISPP website looking for in the university's page about interesting websites for psychologists.
Really I just visit sometimes the site because it's not a site useful for my courses at the university, but when I have a little time I visit the site and read the last news about researches, theories or encounters about this interesting topic. If you like the political psychology I'm going to give you the link from this great asociation... Goodbye.

My favourite piece of technology: My pocket pc


Last christmas, my mother gave me a strange thing... a pocket pc. Really I didn't know what was that but little by little I explored that and now I think....It's wonderful. You can do a lot of things with it. It's touch screen, and has its own operative system: pocket windows! Moreover, my pocket is so comfortable and I can use it like a mp3 player, watch videos, write docs, navigate on the web, play some games, It's almost a computer.
Maybe, the only problem is that the few memory that the pocket pc support...just 64 mb! and today 64 mb means nothing compared with the resources that actual programs need, by the same, I don't use my pocket pc a lot because it's not useful for the "day a day". Instead of the few memory, my pocket pc is my favourite piece of technology. For a lot of people, the pocket pc's are really unknown but here I left a photo for you know this wonderfull object.
