Changes to my study programme

Imagen
I am a forestry engineering student and there are many things I would like to change in my degree, such as the subjects, the academic load, the infrastructure, among others.    In forestry engineering there are subjects such as soil science, tree growth and development, among others. I would particularly like to have more subjects on native and wild fauna, as I think it is necessary to know which animals live in forest ecosystems.  As for the teachers, they are very wise and intelligent people, but I think some of them need to improve their teaching skills, making their classes much more interactive and didactic.  As for the academic load, it is a demanding 5-year course that requires a lot of time and dedication.  I think there should be a change in this, setting a maximum number of exams and papers per week so that students are not so stressed and frustrated.  The university itself has very nice facilities. But I think the furniture in the classrooms...

Time travel to the past

Imagen
If I could go back in time I would travel to 1984 specifically to Argentina in Buenos Aires. Time of the heyday of Latin Rock and the best music in history. I would like to travel to that time because I would love to meet and go to a concert of my favorite band, which is Soda Stereo, because since I was a child and until today I love their music, but especially I love Gustavo Cerati, who for me is a musical genius.  Once I'm with Soda stereo I would go to a concert of theirs and sing their songs like: "Tratame suavemente" and "Un misil en mi placard" ". Then I would like to see how they compose their music and how they get inspired, I would also like to ask them many questions about them and their music like:  What do they do to get inspired and create music?  What does music mean to you? What are your favorite songs? And if they have time I would like them to take me to know the surroundings of Buenos Aires and how was the night life there, so we can have ...

My dream job

Imagen
  My dream job would be to work for the National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) as a park ranger in the Fray Jorge National Park.   The distance it would take me from my home to the park is 190 kilometers, which would take me approximately 3 hours by bus, so it would be best to move to the city of Ovalle, which is 63 kilometers from the park, from here it would take me approximately 1 hour by car to get to the park.    Working in this beautiful place I imagine it would be an enriching, great and wonderful experience because I would be doing what I love to do most, which is to protect and conserve nature.    As for the skills I would need to work there would be knowledge of botany, zoology and chemistry.   I would like to earn around 1.800.000 CLP, to be able to have a salary that would allow me to live peacefully.    All of the above is related to the fact that I am studying forestry engineering and the advantage of this is that I will be able ...

The best vacations , La serena

Imagen
The best holiday I ever had was when I went to La Serena around 8 years ago, in September 2015. I travelled there with my dad and my brothers when I was 12 years old and I remember that great trip ever since.   In La Serena we stayed 3 days and 2 nights. We stayed in a hotel called "La sombra del viento". It was great because it included WIFI, breakfast, laundry service and airport shuttle.  It was also very well located as it was a 7 minute drive to the beach.   I was really looking forward to exploring the city! And we went to places like the Archaeological Museum of La Serena, the Japanese Garden, the Monumental Lighthouse of La Serena and of course to eat a nice ice cream on the beach.   I think it was one of my best holidays because the city had everything I liked, for example, its beautiful beach, architecture and good weather. Besides, there were nice moments that I shared with my dearest family.

Wonderful Greece

Imagen
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe whose capital city is Athens. The country has approximately 6000 islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, and its official language is Greek.    The country's marvellous seascapes are some of its best attractions. Among them are its islands: Milos and Kefalonia, which have paradisiacal beaches with turquoise waters, white sands and a great Mediterranean climate. The fastest way to get to this destination is from Santiago de Chile which takes about 22 hours by plane and is 12654 km far away.    I have wanted to visit Greece since I was a child, because I love its architecture, history and the beauty of its cities, that is why I would like to visit the Acropolis which is located in Athens and see the beautiful city from there. Then I would go for a few days to the island of Kefalonia, considered the most beautiful destination in Greece, and I would swim in its paradisiacal beach and to finish the trip well, I would go to eat a d...
