Post 3 : How to stop desertification

Hello readers, today I’m going to talk about such an interesting video called “How to green the world’s desert and reverse the climate change” by Allan Savory. In the video, Allan Savory talks -from his experience- about how to stop desertification, explaining how they arrived at these conclusions after several investigations, including some previous misconceptions.

I think that the topic under discussion is very outstanding and every single person should be informed about this, because we are largely responsible for the climate change and it is an issue that concerns us all as living beings belonging to the ecosystem.

About the solution given by Allan Savory, It makes sense to me; after all, through all our history man has always tried to imitate nature with its perfectly balanced mechanism, sometimes incomprehensible to us. The idea to imitate nature seems to be right, but I have to recognize that I’m not agree even with the concept of “cattle”, it contrasts somewhat to my ideals and my ethics, and I wonder what the consequences will raise this amount of cattle? What will happen to all of them after recover the vegetation? I would like to read more about this topic to have a better opinion, a more informed one.

That’s all, see you J

Post 2: Majors in Forestry

Hello readers haha,
Well, before all I came back with the blogs for de English course, now i'm on level B1+ so I hope my writting was better too haha..

Majors in Forestry: first, I have to clarify that -according to what I heard- in the new "Curriculum for competition" there's no majors, we all are Foresters without differences but of course in life you can specialize anyway, outside or inside your career, so I would like to specialize myself in something associated with Ecology, Conservation of nature, maybe something like Zoology and I also like Botany. All these issues in relation with my career, but, in the other hand I would like to do something more artistic too, because I rally love to draw so who knows, maybe someday I will do some work of art.
I also love sports too, so I dont leave a side the idea of practicing running professionally.

Anyway, those are my interests and I think that you never knows what the destiny has prepared for you, so I dont know if if these interests are gonna change or maybe I will leave the university jajja (but is very unlikely because I like this career jaja :)

That's all, see you in the next blog :)

Post 10: Your Blogging Experience

HELLO FRIENDS!

Today is my final Blog! Yes! This is the end, my only friend the end (8) And it's about my blogging experience! Oh how to start....
This experience has been .. but funny, I've never thought have a Blog and I've never imagined myself writing and having followers, I feel like a rockstar with a lot of fans hahahah Ok not but It was a funny experience :)
Anyway I have some complaints because I'm a whiny person: We never wrote about food! and food is one of my favourite topics, I would like to talk about some restaurants and "picás" that I know (people who know me knows I always recommend vegan and good places haha). Also we never wrote about hobbies or sports then I could have boasted about my athletic skills Jaja (just kidding..) So I think in the future we have to have a free-topic blog! haha.
About the english learning in blogging experience I can say that it was an interactively way of studying english! it was a little bit funniest than other learning methods I've been practice in my life like singing songs or give a discourse, so I would like that this method have been perpetuated in time but I would add some corrections to know what we are wrong.
Well that's all Bye bye! :)

Post 9 : Your Favourite Subject

Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna talk to you about my favourite subject in this term...
I think that this semester has been little bit more difficult than last year, maybe 'cause last year we had anual subjects, but anyway I like having semester subjects, is less risky if you dont pass one.

Well, my favourite subject was "Growth and development of trees". I thik it was so interesting, we start learning about organology, histology, water and nutrient transport, phytohormones, stresses and stem analysis. It's surprisingly all the information you can obtain just analyzing the trees' stem! and understand the dynamic inside a plant or tree, how his mechanics and metabolism works and how it responds to certain stimulus! I think its really interesting.
We had also study the Anatomy of wood, microscopically it was interesting but macroscopically it was beautiful !! haha :) Anyway I prefer living trees than wood but I cannot deny that wood is beautiful (specially its grain) and, after all, its going to be our greatest source of employment because we are foresters.
That's all dear readers, see you in the next post!

Post 8: Your future job

Hello again dear friends, so much time without writting a blog! well, today I have to talk about my expectations for a future job and a future life. 

When I think about the future I used to imagine my life without a job haha so I dont really have something planned, but something that I'm really sure is -first- that happyness is more important than money. I wouldnt want to earn lots of money if I'm going to be an unhappy and miserable. Second: My biggest interesest are closed to the conservation and botanical area, I would also like to study all the ecosystem's components and their relationships 'cause I really love animals too :D Its may sounds little nerd but I really enjoy knowledge and understand how things works, especially in nature, from a small cell to the whole ecosystem functioning. I'm full of questions (and I think thats a strength, because there is nothing worse than being conformist and not to question)

Now talking about a nearest future, If you ask me if I have planned to take a major after my graduate, the answer is yes. I would love to specialize my career in Botanical, Zoology or Ecology and I would like to be in the south of Chile (Concepción University or Austral University may be good options) or abroad. Anyway I would like to know and live different realities, learn  much things from experiences and share all the knowlegde.

Before ending my todays blog, I would like to write a famous phrase that I really like and its about job: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” - Confucius.

Well, I think thats all, I hope you enjoyed it and see you in classes, Bye bye.

Post 7: A photograph

Hello classmates, well today I had to choose a picture and talk about it and I have to say that it was SO MUCH DIFFICULT! Because I really love to take and to see pictures!! In fact, some time ago I used to go out and take pictures almost every day. With that said, I can continue with the chosen one.

This photo, even if you cannot see it, is a visual record about my experience with Mapuche people in the South of Chile. It was taken for a very closed friend (in these time, my boyfriend) in Curarrehue, a really beautiful little town in IX Araucania Region.

In the photo you can see a pot over a big stove, well, let me tell us that inside of that the pot used to be some of the better “Sopaipillas” that I ever eat! If you don’t know, “Sopaipillas” are like paste made with flour and pumpkins, but Mapuches’ sopaipillas are different because it doesn’t have pumpkin, just flour, water, salt and oil. But that’s not all, they were eaten with the best company because Mapuche people are so welcoming, they make you feel like you’re at home.

I would love to came back these place, it was such an amazing experience to share with indigenous people and know about their lifestyle, culture and their handcraft. We practically live together and share our cultures, so I really learned a lot of thing that you only can learn living the experience yourself.
