Blog 7: My favorite food

Today I’m going to talk about my favorite food.

I think that I don’t have a favorite food, I mean I eat almost everything except things like bowels (animals) or some seaweed, but I think that I’ve eaten many things throughout my life, so that’s why I think that I can’t decide about a favorite food plate.

But now I have to decide, so I choose chickpeas plate.
I like so much chickpeas because my grandmother used to prepare me when I was young (when I was like 5 or 6 years old, I don't know very well), and when I eat chickpeas plate I remember her house, the smells of the kitchen, the crockery noise when she was washing it, these things I remember.
I think that chickpeas plate is my favorite food.

Well, the last time I eat chickpeas plate was the last week, my mother prepare it because my sister couldn’t eat solid things (she’s using braces), so I eat chickpeas and I think that I eat all the cooking pot, miraculously I didn’t get sick and I enjoyed it.

For me, when I eat legumes plate I only eat it in my home, because I went to a restaurant (I don’t know when, I think it was 4 or 3 years ago) and there I asked for chickpeas plate, and when I taste it, it was tasteless and I couldn’t eat it. Since that moment, everything that is cooked legume plate, I eat in my house.

And yes, I know how to prepare chickpeas plate; I like to prepare with chili and it taste good for me.

So chickpeas plate is my favorite food.

Blog 6: Postgraduate studies

Well, I’m not sure right now if I want to do an postgraduate study, but I think if I do an postgraduate study, it would be an magister in food mention management, quality and safety food, I think I really like one of the subject called microbiology, hygiene and food safety, and I think it would be a good postgraduate course for me, because I want to continue my studies. And I would like to develop in applied microbiology, or in engineering food in food processing.

I don’t know too much about postgraduate courses abroad, I think that in Spain exist postgraduate courses focused in fats and soils, so I think that I’m interested in the program of Universidad de Chile, that have the subject I would like to study, but if this magister exist abroad, I think I would like to do abroad, obviously if I know the language of the country and thing like that.

Well, I think that I would like to take classes like distance learning, online, things like that, but I think that I can’t work like that right now, and I thing that it would be the same for me, so I think I would like to go to classes I would like to go to a classroom in college, I work better in a classroom because I’m les distracted.

So that's what I want to do in future.

Blog 5: My future job

Ok, so this blog it’s about my future job.

Well, I don’t know so well about my future as food engineer, but I see myself like a scientist in a lab, so I think I would like to be indoor; but I like outdoor jobs too, like work in a farm or something like that, have my own orchard and produce my own food. I see myself doing these two things, being a scientist in a lab and working outdoor too, I can’t decide.

I would like to travel a lot, because I like to travel and get to know new places and countries, and I would like to meet other food engineers and scientist to learn about their jobs and about the future of the food in that site.

Well, about the salary I don’t know so much, I mean I know an average about it and it is like from one million to one million two hundred (in Chilean pesos), these income are at the fourth year of graduation and it's all I know at the moment.

Well, I’m studying food engineering. So much people say that my future it’s in the kitchen or I’m going to be like a nutritionist or something like that, but that’s because people don't know this career. So I think that informs people about this career its part of my future job too.

So, this is what I would like to do in my future job.

Blog 4: Things you hate and like about university, career.

So, today I’m going to talk about things that I hate and like about university, career.

First, I studied in another university after this (Universidad de Chile), just one an half semester, and I didn’t finish the career, but I have had a good experience of that university.

I studied Industrial Design in UTEM (Universidad Tecnológica Metropolitana) and there I think that I was happy. I liked everything, the food there was good and I remember that everyone helped each other in their homework or models. But I left because I missed science in my life, and other things influenced my decision to leave that career and university.

 

So, here we are.

I like so much my current career. I think that was a good decision change from industrial design to food engineering, and I think that I can’t say bad things of my career.

Now, about university, I think that I would like to make some changes here.

For example, the diner we share with odontology. Food is bad, I remember that one day I bought a lunch and the dessert was sopaipilla pasada, but the sopaipilla was half green and that was so disgusting that I try to not eat there. I don’t know why sopaipilla was green.

And things I like, well, I like the spacious that faculty is, because in UTEM, the faculty I studied was too small and we didn’t have green spacious, here we have trees, an orchard and now they fixed the jogging track.

 

So, that’s what I think about our university. There are more things, but now this is what I want to say.
