A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

Among the subjects that I have had to see in this year and a half, what I liked the most was General Chemistry (I and II) and Differential and Integral Calculus. Actually, I really like to do calculations, if there is something that I really enjoy studying is what leads me to think how to solve a particular problem through formulas. It is true that sometimes the results are not the best when one does not understand the matter, in fact it becomes tedious to study it, but once it is understood, it is very entertaining.

Chemistry I liked it since school, I love to see the reactions that occur, how the volumes of the solutions are calculated, how much I need from each solution for my reaction to work, etc. This particular semester, I found very interesting to calculate the pH of certain compounds and the way in which it reacts against another compound and the colors that each one takes depending on the reaction being carried out.

Within differential and integral calculus, I really adore derivatives and integrals, I like to think of the way in which an exercise should be performed, to fill a complete sheet of numbers to finally arrive at a final result and feel the satisfaction of having been able to perform the problem that seemed difficult.

A career related website that you enjoy visiting or an expert on your field.

Honestly, there is not a page related to my career that I visit regularly, what I see are pages that prepare certain foods, which look very delicious, but clearly, that will not be what I will do in the future and does not have much relationship with Food Engineering haha.

If I had to choose any page related to my career, it could be the College of Engineers in Food in Chile (http://www.ciach.cl/) or the FAO (http: //www.fao.Org/home/en/). The first one is dedicated to providing information on the activities carried out in the country involving food engineers, such as Seminars or Diplomates, something that I still do not consider very relevant for me, given the year I am taking the course. The second has several objectives such as helping to eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition, making agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable, promoting inclusive and efficient agricultural systems and food, among others. This page draws me much attention because of the goals they have as they are in helping different societies globally in something that is really important and vital for human, food.

My Hobbies

Well, nowadays I could not consider any of my activities as hobbies. Some time ago, about the year 2013, in my spare time I played sacredly every day on my PlayStation 3, I was a fan of "Destiny", "The Last of Us", "Resident Evil", "Beyond Two Souls ", among others. But as the years went by in school, I had less and less time to play on my console, so I've already left that activity a little, it is not as frequent as it used to be at that time.
Today, in my spare time, I usually do different things, depending on the state of mind I have at that moment. Normally, I usually have my cell phone, whether it's talking about Whatsapp, watching Facebook or Instagram. In my quiet moments, I watch series on Netflix, although it is very difficult for me to find some that manage to capture my attention, sometimes I watch movies, but I almost never get to one that can convince me at all, so I just close Netflix and dedicate myself to sleep.

Plannes for Holidays

Well, honestly 3 years ago I did not leave a place for vacations, either because there was no money to leave so I had to work.
In the summer holidays, I would like to go to the beach, Algarrobo specifically, to feel the sea breeze and enjoy the scenery. As always, go with my family, my mom and my brother, but it would not be bad to include a boyfriend on his vacation hehe.
Something typical I usually do on the beach, is climb up to "El Banano" entering the depths of the sea, is something that I really like to do. I also usually have boat trips, so I can enjoy the scenery and obviously, I can not leave the beach without visiting a craft fair.
I would also like to go south, I have never been to those places of our country, but I see it as a possibility of distant, since as every year, there is never enough money to leave a place far from Santiago.
If my wishes for this holiday were not to come, I suppose that I dedicate myself to work, to be able to raise money and to pay the expenses of the University.

My future job.

The truth is that my dream was to be able to study Obstetrics and thus be able to work with babies. Since my little brother was born, I have...
