Post 10: English Language Challenges... and the end ;(

Oh bloggers, I have bad news... this is the last post that I will be writing. Yes, this is the end of my blog, it's time to say goodbye, but don't cry for me, I'm already dead... hehe it's a joke.

Ok, my english teacher said to me that I should make an evaluation about blog experience and of course, I have some many comments to do. Firstly, I think that this was a good learning strategy because to create and write a blog is very fun and the process to design your blog can be very stimulating. Blog can be a helpful tool to make different things. I like blog's interface. I feel that I learned some english vocabulary and I can do sentences more fluent. Writting about daily and personal topics is a good idea to motivate people. Making comments in others blogs is also a good idea, because sometimes someone can answer your comment and you can have a little conversation with this person, a little interaction or chat.

Secondly, I think that we need more english practice but the we have a little time in classes. I know if I practiced more I cna speak very fluent and I can understand so much because the languages are learned by practicing and with a little of theory (I think). Probably, I will practice in another situations for improve my english because I need it. 

I have one constructive comment: I think that one post for class is great but two post for class is very stressful. We need time to do it! 

Ok my bloggers, it was very entertaining while it lasted.  

Goodbye and be good people 

Post 9:Changes to my study program

Hello bloggers, today I am going to talk about my career and my study program in Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y Conservación de la Naturaleza. 

More specific, I am going to talk about the changes that I want to do in the study program. First, I think that Faculty should invest a lot of money in buildings and infrastructure because we are a lot of students and there´s no enough space for all. We need more study rooms, more computer rooms with new computers or at least a good set of computers in good conditions, and we need an auditorium for presentations and ceremonies. In summary, we need another "Pabellón Arauco" and now! because the enrollment will continue increasing.

Secondly, I think that teachers should be according to the program focus, because the program is based in abilities ("competencias") but a little group of old teachers have another point of view more traditional and they do not teach skills only pure knowledge. I think that they have an out-of-date notion of the career and the program.

Finally, I think that the Faculty can improve the program from different ways, because it is a new process or stage in the history of the Faculty and the authorities are testing different things in the program and somethings are not good ideas. For example, I think that we should have rubrics for all (or almost all) the evalutions like test, exams, presentations, written documents or homeworks, etc., because in many occasions I have been some problems because the homework instructions or the test rules are very ambiguous and finally the teacher or the teacher assistant decide under her discretion or impartial opinion.

But, I can not be so negative... I think that it is a good career and I like this Faculty. it has problems but all have solution.   

Post 8: Summer Holidays

Hi bloggers, I am so tired because I am begining the end of my semester and I will have many tests, presentations and evaluations. So, I have to study a lot and sleep too little ;c, it´s very complicated for me because I love sleep a lot. Probably you can look me very irritable during these days. Take me patience please...

So, the proverb says "after the storm, comes the calm" or more contemporary "keep calm and think in the future", and it is exactly that I do because my summer holidays are around the corner !!!! I will be doing works until january thirty one and later I will travel to the south of Chile. First, I will travel to the house of my grandmother near to Temuco. I will stay there about three weeks and then I will travel to Puerto Montt and there I will take a aeroplane and go to Balmaceda in Aysen region. I will meet with two friends and we want to go across the lakes, the mountains, the rivers, deep green rainforest, and many others exciting and stranger places and landscapes. I never have been to Aysen region, this will be my first time and I am very excited and a little bit crazy about it. Have you been in these places or in another austral places? I only want to finish and complete my semester and go to the south of Chile.

And you? what about you? what will you do in your summer holidays?

  

Post 7: Astronomy

Hi astrobloggers, today I`m going to talk about Astronomy. I don't have much to say about it, I have not read some book about it and I don´t understand so much about stars, planets, supernovas, nebula, cosmic matter and these atronomics things. However, I think that all that I have learned was by movies or short cientifics news. 

So, I am going to introduce this post with a little description about Astronomy: "Astronomy is the study of the sun, moon, stars, planets, comets, gas, galaxies, gas, dust and other non-Earthly bodies and phenomena. In curriculum for K-4 students, NASA defines astronomy as simple the study of stars, planets and space."

When I was a teenager, I confused Astronomy with Astrology because I thinked that greek ending "-ology" was only used to describe science like Biology, Sociology, Geology, etc., but a good teacher taught me that it isn`t true and I learned that Astronomy is the real science and Astrology is not a science and is not having anything to do with Astronomy. 

I only know one astronomic thing: the sky in the north of Chile is the best to see planets, starts, comets and any others kind of things. I have read something about The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (people say it ALMA). It is a revolutionary instrument in its scientific concept, its engineering design, and its organization as a global scientific endeavor. There is in Atacama desert at an altitude of 5000 meters above sea level... I think that it is a great invention and a piece of master technology that could help us to discover our cosmic origins!!!!

So, what do you know about Astronomy ? 

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

Hello people! We start a new week, how are you ? I´m so tired because I didn´t sleep a lot. Well, now I will talking about postgraduate studies, yo now, I´m undergraduate student but in three years later I will be a forester.

I like study and learn about different topics related to my career and environment. I think that postgraduate studies are a good option for me because I could learn so much and acquire some skills that I need. I want to do it in another country because I want to know different cultures and different points of view about problems of the world. I don´t know what postgraduate study I will to do, it´s very difficult to me choose one and now I only study my subjects but I have seen some differents kind of masters (MSc) like "MSc in Human Ecology - Culture, Power and Sustainability" in Lund University (Sweden) or "Master Biomass and Waste for Energy and Materials (BiWEM)" in Ecole Des Mines D’Albi-Carmaux (France) or "Master Environmental Sciences" in Wageningen University (Holand) or "Master’s Degree Programme in Multidisciplinary Studies on Urban Environmental Issues (MURE)" in University of Helsinki (Finlad)... you can see that I like different areas.

I would like study a postgraduate by blended system or part-time course, but I´m very flexible and I don´t have problem with the programm. Sometimes I think about a PhD degree but maybe it could be so difficult to do because you need more experience and theory on your mind.

And you? what do you think? 

Post 5: My future job!

Ok bloggers, I am not really sure about my future job, I don´t know many things about my future, it´s a difficult question to me :S...but I think that I would like to work outdoors and I would like to travel a lot in my job, these ideas exciting me. I don´t want to have family or sons, so I think that I could travel a lot without responsibilities and pressures.

I think that my future job could be in a uncomfortable environments or places in danger with over-exploitation, poor human populations, several political and social problems and loss of biodiversity. These places could be in Chile or in the other unknow countries in middle or near east, Central Asia, Central America, Africa, I don´t know...The world has many countries that needs help. I prefer work in environmental jobs because I like it and I think that I could provide asistance, but also I could be work in others jobs if it will be necessary.    

Currently, I think it, but maybe in three years later I would like to work in another think and I would like others kind of jobs. My future is uncertain. In my present I only study a lot and live the life. 

And you? What do you think about your future? 

Post 4: Huerquehue´s National Park

Hurquehue´s fauna is very beautiful, you can see "pudus", "pumas", "ranita de Darwin", "condores" and "monitos del monte".     

In the top of the park you can see differents lakes, the most popular are: Lago Chico, Lago Verde, Lago Toro, Lago Tinquilco, Lago Huerquehue and Lago Los Patos, Laguna Seca, Laguna Pehuén, Laguna Los Cóndores, Laguna El Sacrificio, Laguna Las Mercedes and Laguna las Mellizas.
