Post #6: Time travel in the future

-
 Actually, I am an extremely pessimist person about the future. Especially in environmental matters. Because of my current degree, which is Natural Renewable Resources Engineering, I know a little bit more about what is at stake now and in the future. And in present the humankind has been exceeded the environmental limits of the earth, not all of them, but 4 that are very important. So, in my opinion the future does not look bright for humans. We must deal with the actual climate change and future problems like a probable biodiversity collapse, water scarcity, oil depletion, among others. For those reasons, I wouldn’t like to go to the future. In fact, I don’t want to have children, for those reasons too. Future is too uncertain to know what would happen, and that makes me extremely difficult to choose where I would go, or even if I would go in first place.



I prefer to focus on which things I could do now to help the environment and people. Finding ways to prevent problems that have not happened already, helping with solutions to actual problems that can be solve, or at least helping to make the consequences of the actual problems, that doesn’t have solution, more bearable for people. Due to contribute for a better present, and obviously for a better future.

Post #7 Changes to my study programme

As I said in previous post, I am a third year Natural Renewable Resources Engineering student. Until now, I notice that my current degree has a huge diversity of subjects. The subjects cover almost all the areas or topics about natural renewable resources and engineering methods, giving important knowledge from a general point of view. For example, I have mathematical, biological, chemical, physical subjects, even some environmental law subjects. Also, some of them are linked with project management or territoriality. So, as far as I understand, in the first 3 years of study, you ended up the degree knowing about multiple topics o areas, but nothing too specific. Then, in the following two year, as far as I am aware the subjects are more specific to certain topics. In fact, you must choose professional electives, which delve deeper in different areas of interest to the degree. In relation to workload and length of studies based on my experience, it is a lot of information to learn

Post #8: English Language Challenges

I really enjoyed the English subject during this semester, both classes and written activities were enjoyable and challenging to do. In synchronic classes, miss Barria created a good conversational environment, that made you wanted to participate, where she kindly corrected your mistakes, and taught you the right way to express yourself. I learned how to talk and express myself about a huge variety of topics, which resulted in an improvement in my communication skills in this language. In my opinion, the written activities, which in this case were the blogs, were a good method to constantly practice grammar skills and improve them in the process. Besides that, as I mentioned before, those were fun and challenging to do, because the blogs´ topics were amusing and interesting. Apart from that, I think I need to improve my communication skills, amplify even more my vocabulary and review all over again basic grammar rules. For thar purpose, I have the intention to take an English course, f

  Since I was a child, I went to different places for holidays and I really enjoyed all of them, some of them more than others. But the best holiday I ever had were on February of 2017, when I was 17. It was the first time in my life traveling too far away alone, and for so long. I went to Puerto Montt with three friends, Valentina, Michelle, and Paz. We stayed in Valentina´s grandparents house for about a week, her grandparents were kind and sweet people. We did a complete tour of the region, we went to a lot of different places in Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas, Chiloe, Frutillar, and Petrohue. We visited toreutics destination, natural parks, national parks, restaurants, and craft fairs. That was the first time I saw such beautiful places, with all that magnificent and imponent nature. Despite the cold in the south of Chile that I don’t like it at all, I really enjoyed that holiday in Puerto Montt with my friends, eating, traveling, and laughing.
