English subject experience

Hellooo

Today’s theme is going to be about the reason of all of this blogs, the English subject!

To talk about this I have to make a flashback, when I was younger, like 13 years old, when I did not even knew why English was really important in real life.

The woman who taught me this language on high school, I can say she was one of the best teachers I ever had. She makes me want to learn and also motivated me to be better. Thanks to her I get my certification on the English SIMCE, and also I get exempt from taking “English A1” and “English A2” at university.

I know my knowledge, but the second year of Forestal engineer, I get so nervous when I had to take the third course of English, I think it was going to be really hard, but actually not. It was fun, it put me on danger when I had to talk in front of the class, I almost die, but I get good grades at the final exam, I am satisfied.  

And in the final course of this subject, I get nervous again XD ‘’New teacher, she looks tough” – I thought, but, again, actually not. The classes have been really fun and I learned more than I think I did. The themes of the blogs have been more interesting than the last course. The videos was new for me, I felt like a youtuber D:, but it’s noticeable that the teacher did a great job.

I actually use English every day since high school; I learn more vocabulary every time I see words I don’t know and it feels great when someone ask me to translate something.

That’s it, regards to everyone! <3

Changes to my study programme

Helloo!
Today I'm going to talk to you, from my view of point, what things I would like to change (forever) of my/our study programme.

First of all, postpone a year of study is something that anyone want to do, for reasons of time and money. For this I would like that every subject would be biannual, and also have the possibility to do it again the next semester, so you can choose what subject you want to take and go on your own rate. This, in my case, would make everything easier, the stress load would decrease, because the university forces you to take a certain amount of subject that are not recommendable to people who doesn't take too well the stress.

Second, teachers. I know they are good on what they do, but not all the teachers we have are really teachers (they could be engineers, idk), and consequently, they don't teach well. To prevent this, at least I would make every professional (not teacher) to take subject of pedagogy, because they are not giving us the neces
sary to learn, and their way to evaluate is not the best.

Third, the infrastructure of this faculty is well, but I would like to add a computers classroom, but with no class (a mean, teachers are not allow to kick out the student xd). With this, students will have the time to study calmly. Also I would like to add an assembly hall, the enough big necessary, so they interested on the academic themes are allow to sit in comfort and not on the ground, like we use to do already.

And finally, a gym of free use for students and workers of the faculty. This would make better the healthy of everyone who want to use it, and also release tension of study and work.

Everyone has a lot to say!!! >:C

Herbarium

Hi everyone! The topic of today is '' my experience making the herbarium ''. First of all, I can say it was the most stressful activity of the year. In part, it was the fact of looking for the native species, but it was the worst the fact of knowing that we have a limit of time to do it.

Sometimes I went out with friends to climb hills, or practice activities, but in another chance I went alone to Cerro San Cristobal, and that was the day when I collected almost the half of my herbarium. It was great that day because it was raining but softly, and I could spend a day with myself. It was great

It took me about 6 months looking for species and drying them, some get bad and I had to look for some new. In my case, I have to say I never knew what it was on my hands (I mean the specie) 'till I started to put them on files, and write the name of the sample; but not until that day, I just knew that I had a bunch of leafs drying.

The night I had to spend like 5 hours sewing 30 samples to paperboards, writing on a file the scientific name, the common name, the day and the place where I found it, and the coordinates, but I can say it was the night when I learned a lot I started to remember names, characteristics and knowing how to recognize them.

What can I say? It was great after all the stress

Bye!

Postgrade

Good evenning everyone, again, well now we still talking about studies, but todays theme is about something that can happen in, maybe, 4, 5 years, depending on the person, of course.

If I have to chose a postgrade after getting the license of Forestry engineer, I think the course for me will be a Magister of Wilderness and Nature Conservation. The main reason is the same one when I postulated to Forestry, because I want to work on conservation and take care of nature. I would like to have subject about species on different parts of the world, like ‘’biotics’’, a first year subject of forestry, but I would like it to be more intense. Also, subjects of conservations plans for species in danger. In synthesis, courses to be a better forestry engineer :D.

I don’t actually know how long take to work on a Magister, but I think two years (?), it is a reasonable time, I guess…

I would prefer it to be a part-time course, so I can work on other things to pay it.

It has been a dream for me, studing maybe a year out of Chile, possibly a country with english language, so I would work also on my english.

So that’s it, I hope this works in a few years, I would feel like a complete student. :D

Bye!

My future job

How difficult can be thinking about a future job. When I think about that, it comes to my mind something that I would be doing during my whole life, but I don't want that.

In the best of the cases, acording to my actual career, I would be working on National Reserves around the world. I imagine it like an outdoors job, studing diferent species of plants and animals, and also making conservation plans for those. Exploring different countrys and meet new people, passing for different climates and landscapes.

Caring about nature, always calls me, and have the knowing and the power to do something for it, would fill up my heart.

Talking about money, I would like the people pay me proportionally to the heft of my work, I will be happy if I WIN the money, and not receive it like a gift.

That would be my perfect job, but also I would like to work someday with food, take a gastronomy career in a future to practice myself. Cooking and tasting are my real sins, I know I will be in the circle of Gluttony in hell when I die.

But analizing this, the fact of working with my hands, touching and feeling new things woud be escencial in my future and happy job :)

Bye!

Traditions in our Independence day

With my family, the independence day celebration lasts at leas 3 days.
The first day, we do meet on a barbecue and lunch all together, we also listen to national music, like '' cueca '' or '' pascuence '' and we do not watch TV, so anyone falls away from the conversation haha.
the second day we eat '' empanadas '', we usually buy 20 or 25, so no one gets the craving. Also we go to '' Fondas '' or go to a park to spend the day out of the house.
I can say that I completely love the national dance, I love watching it, I love dancing it. It is really beautiful to watch how the boy tries to chase the girl with perseverance for at least 2 minutes haha.
And now it's getting a tradition (for me) to see my brother's little daughter dances at the school. It is cute and awesome to notice her advances about not forgetting the choreography and her enthusiasm. This year I taked my boyfriend to see my niece with me and my niece's mother. It was absolutely beautiful and the most cute experience for the three of us watch a lot of guys from 5 years old dancing
The other two days are like a mix beetwen the first two days, but we still together everyday, I hope it does not change with the years.

My favorite food(s)

I think we all have a problem at the moment of choosing a favorite food, specieally with all the kind of meats and vegetals.

In my case, I can say that I have two favorite plates, noodles with bolognese sauce and fish with rice (and salads) (or fries), salty food.

I have a really good memory with noodles with sauce, because when my brother, my parents and I lived in my grandmother's house, I remember my mom cooking for us, when cousins and uncles used to visited us, like 10 years ago, good times.

I also have good memories about fish and rice, but this is every year, when we go to the beach, the place where I was born, and we don't eat anything more than fish (in the case of meats), it reminds me times of touring, laughing and new air.

I think I preffer a mix beetwen junk and healthy food, because it taste good, and also it's not too much for my body.

With years and practice I learned how to cook this plates, of course, it don't taste like my mother's way, but I still learning.
