The best in my area

Today I'm gonna write something about a man called John Watson. I don't think he's the best in my area, because I really don't have knowns enough to choose that one...
Anyway... Watson was an American psychologist from the beggining of the nineteenth century, and he studied human behavior. He was the first in his area, who studied behavior as a result of many factors from the environment.
I like his perspective to analyze behavior because I think it was very controversial at his time, when psychoanalysis -having internal impulses as basis of behavior- was the predominant movement. It's interesting because theoretically all humans get born with the same potential capacities, and even at present the environment and upbringing influence are obvious for everyone, in that time it was unthinkable.
I think he made a very important contribution to nowadays psychology. Watson formulated the basis of behaviorism, which today, is one of the most interesting philosophy of psychology.

Psychology

Today I'm gonna tell you something about my career: psychology. As I told before, I chose it for two reasons: the first one, is that I've always felt curiosity about human's mind mysteries. The second one is because of one of my best friends, who studies psychology too... I suspect she made me a brain wash to make me finally, choose this option.
Being here, I think it was a good choice... Every day I'm more interested about the things that we see in the class. I love subjects about philosophy and psychology, I think they're very interesting and also, they make me open my mind and see the things from different perspectives... I like to meditate and reflect sometimes, about daily things.
The only one thing I don't like is that University is so far away from home! And I hate to wake up early, it makes me down to see the sun still doesn't comes out, and that it's cold and dark... but it's just a detail, because I really like the career, and my partners are the best!
I still don't know what I want for the future, I really don't have good references about the specializations, even legal psychology attracts me a little... I think I can't choose yet, so I will wait to know better about it.
The important thing is that I feel that I've found my place, and that makes me happy...

My favourite pic


My favourite pic was taken three years ago... On December 2006, me and my best friends went to an electronic festival: Earthdance. This festival is celebrated in San Francisco de Mostazal, a very small town near to Santiago, and the celebration lasts three days, usually Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We took the train to San Francisco de Mostazal in Estación Central, so there it started our adventure. We were carrying carps, flashlights, clothes... we looked like gypsies haha...
When we arrived at this town, we were amazed because the place was so nice and beautiful!!! It was a long field with electronic music everywhere... there was three stages with differents styles of electronic music, and also there was another stage where people could buy natural juices or practice some extreme sports.
The place was full of people, there were carps everywhere, it was like being into another world. All the people was happy and kind, everyone had a smile to give, so we infected of this good vibe. I think it was a very beautiful and relaxing experience, and the best is that it was with the coolest partners ever!!!

My most precious possession

On November of the last year, my brother brought to our home a little puppy dog. Even my parents weren't agree with the idea of having a pet (because we live in an appartment), in secret, he saved some money for three months and then he bought the dog. Me and his girlfriend were the only persons who knew about it.
So, someday he came home from university, carrying the little puppy in his bag... she was so pretty!!! From the first time I saw her, I fell deeply in love with her.
She's a black Dachshund, known as a "hot dog" haha, and she's very sweet and playful.
At the beginning, my parents (specially my mom) acted very indifferent about this new member in the family; they didn't get angry because of my brother's disobedience, but they didn't glad neither. The days passed, and they fond with the puppy... it was impossible to resist to her! So, through these months she's been taking a place in our hearts; she doesn't like to be alone, so she's a very good partner, even just making company.
I think she came to my home to make me and my family, a little bit happier. Almost time we're busy, and we don't see too much at the week, so it's nice to get home and see that someone shakes her tail and is glad too see us...
