A subject which has currently affected, in great magnitude, the faculty is suicide among the students. This is due to the actual suicide of a workmate and two others that were on the verge of doing the same thing. As often happens in these cases there is hardly any prevention but a lot of talking amongst us once the tragedy has occured. Personally I think not enough importance is given to these cases in Chile, the worst has to happen before anyone takes any action. I remember needing psicological help, mainly because I needed some type of contention and as always there were no hours available in the public health enteties and when I tried to find help within the faculty the waiting list was enormous.

I would like to make it clear that I havent stopped thinking or creating bu

One of my past times is watching movies and reading, both are clearly related. The best movies are those   that interpret books, many of them the creation of great authors. One of my principal rules is to watch the film after Reading the book, this   is because I find it truly thrilling to imagine the characters, their physical aspects and their surroundings. Their psicologial trates are easier to get to know and in movies these details are very difficult to show as the autor would have them portrayed. For example there are small details but not less important that are not shown in movies, one of these and the first that comes to mind is the color of Harry Potter’s eyes, one of the firts books I read and one of the first films I watched. the boy in the movie has blue eyes and his mother’s are brown. In the book, however, this detail stomts out when the shape and color of his eyes are mentioned relating them to one of the physical aspects he has inherited from his mother and they
