Addictions

Addictions

I don’t think I have any heavy addictions in the way of things that I couldn’t stop doing and are hard for me to quit, Im too young to develop a heavy addiction.

But there are certainly some things that I love doing and could develop in an addiction in some way because they are addictive habits. For example I really like beer, I like to taste different varieties and flavors of beer, and sometimes I drink to much. I like other things that could develop into an addiction, I like games in general, I mean video games, deportive games and card games, so I sometimes gamble, I like betting in cards games like Texas Hold ‘em Poker or in the slots machines. But I don’t do it much because I know it could develop into an addiction and I have to control that.

I think that to control your addictions first you have to control yourself, if you know that you are doing something that isn’t good for you, you have to think for a moment why you are doing that in the first place. If it’s to late for that first you have to acknoledge you have a problema and try to search for help from your family and friends. For example there was a time that I went drinking every weekend and I knew that it was bad for me so I said to myself “I have to stop” so I tryed and convinced myself that I didn’t need to go out every weekend and so I did. 

Post Graduate Studies

I don’t think that I would like to apply for a post graduate study like a Master or Ph.D, because I don’t like the fact that you are always being judged as a student and your opinion almost doesn’t count.

There is to much stress in evaluations and proyects and I don’t think I could handle it any more. Im not saying that I wouldn’t like to learn, but there are other ways of learning that don’t require so much time and money. You can always learn as you work, I think that im more a practical learner than a theorical learner, and for me is more easy to learn doing proyects than learning by reading or stuyidng. For example I think that is better to learn a foreign language by going to the foreing country than to doing courses, because you have the necessity to learn and you do so by force. Maybe I would like to travel to other countrys and by doing so you learn other ways of doing agricultura, ways that you aren’t used to

Also there is alot of information on the  internet where you can learn alot of things by watching videos, reading papers or other means of information, so you don’t have the  need of always being judged or evaluated. But I guess that is just my way of thinking, maybe im not just student material.

My future job

My future job

We all had crazy dreams about our jobs, mine was being an austraunt, to discover new planets. My dream job would be becoming an agronomist-austraunt, colonizing planets like Mars, making farms other ways to produce food. We all know that this is never going to happen, so we have to be realistic.

So my realistic dream job would be working in a greenhouse, applying technology in farms making hydroponics systems. This would mean working outdoors and indoors. I imagine as a relaxing way to work, because its different to work in an office in Santiago than working in a farm in a rural part of the country, you don’t have the stress of the city. I would definitely  like to be my own boss, because in that way I could have more freedom in what I choose to do.

I wouldn’t like to travel that much because it can be stressing to travel to far away, sure its great to meet new places, but it isn’t the same to travel for work than to travel for holidays.

The problem it’s that agronomists don’t earn that much as other proffesionals like engineers, lawyers or doctors, but the freedom of the countryside sure pays off in a way.

I don’t think that im going to continue studying, because with all these years of being in the university I had enough, I don’t think that im student material honestly, I would prefer to learn working or by other means, I don’t like being evauated and judged all the time, its stressful, at least for me.
