Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi! So considering that this is the English subject, I guess what I have to say about it is that I thought it was going to be way different from school. But maybe because it is online, I find it really similar in the way that is really theoretical and lined. In this I think that  the participation on class is really important. En English is something that you can hear, but in my case, even when I can understand a lot, my pronunciation is nor telly good, so that makes it really significant to interact with other people, so you can practice. Like any other skill, you have to do it constantly, so you can learn in a much better way. Now, with the use of the blogs I've really realized how much I know of the correct use of words, because sometimes you know how they sound, but no how they are written. So there are two things that I need to improve: pronunciation and the writing.  Now, outside class, I use English almost every day if I have to study some papers or if I want to have fu...

Blog 7: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
Hi! In my career we have many many types of subjects, in a very big selection between physical geography and social geography. It really seems like you can choose whatever you like the most and "create" your own selections of subjects that may apply to what you would like to focus in the future. Just for that, I wouldn't choose to make any changes in the curriculum. What I would like to add in my career and maybe is something of the university, is more sources of information than just papers or books that could be hard to find or expensive.  In the case of the length of studies, I really think that 5 years of information is really understandable, just considering what I said of this huge range of subjects. On the other side, the university has an excellent infrastructure and a good location in relation to what we study, being really close to social problems and territorial planning. So not just the buildings are really relatable to geography, also the around of the depart...

Blog 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
     Hi! Speaking of time travel to the future, I honestly wouldn't like to go, because I think that see everything on a time that isn't mine could be really impresive and maybe I wouldn't face it well. But in the case that maybe I change my mind and the oportunity of making that travel is there, I would go to the 2050 just to see the climate change on his biggest way. Maybe that would be sad, or maybe isn't that bad as they say jajaja The other idea of it is just travel to the past, maybe in a year where a iconic band made a huge concert so I can get the chance to be there and enjoy. In this second case maybe I would considerer to stay, but I'm pretty sure that I preffer my time, in a generation with their own ways that I can understand easily. So, in that case, I choose my time in the earth.  I can't help but imagining the movie Back to the future and the many things that could be dangerous for a experience like this jaja so I don't know if I'm scared ...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
Hi! Since I'm studyng Geography I've been searching what field of this area could be great for me. The funny thing about this is that when I started the career I thought that I would always love more of the physical side of Geography, but it has been a journey to learn and understand how the social or human side can be really interesting. So now I can really see myself in a job related to a social investigation. Also, I reallly like tecnology, so I love a subjet called "Aplications to SIG 1", in wich we are learning to use a software to make maps of whatever we are needing or studying. This subject is really fun because is no just theoretical, as the name says, we apply our knowledge, making it so much practical.  Talking about the salary, I'm not sure, but it seems to be above the average. Many of out teachers have told us that we are not going to be millionaires, but we are going to be fine financially speaking jaja. I would love to take a major, perfectionate i...

Blog 4: My Profession

Imagen
Hi everyone! The profession that I choose is Geography. In positive apects, this carrer is so complete, it has a "physical side" and a "human side", so I can imagine myself being able to intergrate this knowledge in a holistic way. Also is so interesting being able to go to the field and apply what we are learning, and anticipate some physical events that could be dangerous to the society.  Some benefits that I can see now in mi career is that is something that, nowadays, is really relevent with everything going on in the word because of the climate change or social events (like the recent revolution in Chile). Because we can investigate many tipe of things, this examples mentioned are great in our field. I choosed this career because I think is really beautiful. I love that it doesn't made me choose between the humanistic or cientific side, it intergrate both and try to explain the diferences in the territorry because of that relation. Also, I'm really into...

Blog 3: Free themed topic

Hi everyone, today I'm going to talk about my cat, named Napoleón. He's 4 years old and came into my life when I was living alone to bring love and company for those moments❤. As you can see from the picture token by one of my closest friends, he is grey and white, and he loves to eat a lot, he even wakes me up no matter what time is it just to give him more food. The name was idea from one friend, when we thought that was funny to put a cat a name of somebody important, but now I don't like that much that name jajaja :P so I always call him "Napo". He's not very affectionate, but with me he is sooo sweet in comparison to others. He even understand when I'm upset with him and tryes to be quiet and obedient. Like many cats, I buyed a cat specially for him, but he doesn't use it! He preffers to sleep with me on the feets of my bed jaja. In the day he goes out a lot and comes to my bedroom only for eating and drink water.  This picture is from the last ye...

Blog 2: The best concert ever

Imagen
Hi everyone! The best concert that I've ever experience was on February of 2019, in Peñaflor. In that town there is a event which is call "Semana Peñaflorina", where they celebrate inviting a lot of artists. One thing special of this event was that I went just to join a friend to see one specific artist that I didn't like that much, so I wasn't expecting a lot of that moment. But when I get there I heard that the tribute band of Queen: "God Save The Queen". This is a band from Argentina formed in 1998, and it is very well cataloged. They were the last to play, and with my friend, we wait a lot to see them for the first time. The show was incredible! The energy of ever Queen song and the great way that they performed the song made that the atmosphere of the event were really exciting and fun. We jumped on the most energetic part of " Bohemian Rhapsody" and that was one of the most fun moments of my life. I know that wasn't the real Queen, bu...
