The best concert

Imagen
  If someone asks me for a concert… definitely the best is   Slayer in 2017, at the “Movistar Arena”. Since I was a child I have liked rock music and metal. Slayer came to Chile on other occasions but I was too young and had   no one take me to the concert, and my parents didn`t like   that kind of music and  they hated that I listened to that kind of genre because they said it was satanic .  In 2017 when i was  18 years old olso or so I went alone, none of friends since I was not going to pay  for go to see them. I had a great time, in that occasion, tha played their  last álbum “repentless”, even then at the end of concert they played favourite songs of the fans, as “Raining blood” , “South of heaven” and “ángel of death”.    I Remember my shoes were very dirty because of the footsteps of the people, my clothes were a little torn  a little   and I got some bruises because of the “mosh”, but definitely it was the best con...

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
  The country that I dream to visit   is Italy. When I was a child I dreamed to know   Venice, it caught my attention sailing in the boat to the canal, I dream to live like this someday. Also I watched many films about   Venice, the streets full of water looked beautiful in the movies , that increases the expectation to know the city. As the years go by  my expectation continues , even at my 22 years old. Futhermore, Italy is the home of Ferrari, when I was a child I dreamed of having one of their cars, even if with the passing of the years that idea disappeared, because they are really expensive and still if I could collect the money in order to buy a car, I would not buy it. Venice was the focus of  inspiration for many artists during the renaissance and it was the birthplace   of the famous composer Antonio Vivaldi. I would like to go around the city in a small boat, more because  a children dream than for anything else . I don´t ima...

Final Blog

 Hello again, this time I will talk about my experience doing these weekly blogs. Personally, I really enjoyed writing about the topics proposed by the professor, I found them interesting and entertaining. It helped me a lot to learn English, when I wrote each blog I learned new words, I learned to write many sentences and translate entire paragraphs without using a translator. He also learned to write sentences at the correct times. Commenting on the publications of my colleagues is also entertaining, it forces me to read their blogs while exercising my reading comprehension. One of the advantages is that some of the topics are related to the forest engineering career, this serves to exercise the technical vocabulary and use frequent words and sentences in academic texts. By writing these blogs I learned to read texts more fluently and my understanding improved a lot. I don't know if that was the goal of the activity, but that was the biggest breakthrough I had when blogging weekl...

Silviculture

Imagen
Hello how are you? Today I will talk about the subject that I liked the most this semester. Its name is "silviculture and forest management". The classes are composed in blocks of approximately 45 minutes, where the teacher on duty explains to us first, general aspects of the type of forest that we will study and then explains the existing silvicultural methods recommended for it.  Broadly speaking, forestry is the (cutting) interventions carried out on a forest in order to increase its production, promote regeneration or simply keep the species present. The classes are carried out by 4 teachers, their names are; Antonio Vitas, Gustavo Cruz, Horacio Bown and Sergio Donoso. Within what I learned in this subject, what I liked the most is the silvivulture of native forests, although the teachers tell us that there is a lack of research in this regard, the little information that currently exists is quite solid and motivates me to internalize the subject. In addition, in order to...

Sci-Hub, a great website

Imagen
Hello everybody !I hope you are fine :) Sci-Hub is used to download documents from private websites, to do so you just have to paste the link in the platform's search engine and the desired document will automatically be downloaded. The link for this site is https://sci-hub.se/. The main objective of this website is to download scientific files under the motto "... to remove all barriers in the way of science". It is the first website in the world to provide mass and public access to research articles. This website was recommended by a helper during a class a long time ago. It is very effective when you have to make a report. I have used it a lot these last few years because there is a lot of information that is on private websites. This website has really simplified my life. Access to scientific research should be universal and free, websites like sci-hub are a great contribution to education and a great help to many people interested in science who do not have access to...

PUCON TRIP

Imagen
This photo was taken during a trip with friends in Pucon, it was during the week of the total aclipse in the Araucania region. I did this trip whith 2 friends from university, Francia  and Jair , as well as my brother and cousin from France named Leandro and Ignacio. We rent a cabin located approximately 3 kilometers from the take. This photo was taken by Ignacio one afternoon when we went to lake Caburgua, near Pucón. We were walking along the shore of the lake looking for a place to sit down to eat, then I saw a small sandy path over the water that went into the lake, I decided to walk on it to the point, it was there when I heard a cry from Ignacio, I It said "stay there", I stayedstill and I toook that picture. Then he showed it to me, I really liked the angle I take it so I uploaded it to Instagram. I was wearing a yellow rain coat at the time because it was a very rainy day and it was very cold.

 One of the places I have wanted to visit a long time is "Machu-pichu", if I have enough money I would like to do if next year. The idea was born during a conversation with friends, we all liked it and we plan to do it one day. The ideal would be to travel at least a month, in order to visit other nearby places. Personally my biggest motivation to go that place is its beauty. The idea is to travel backpacking north to Peru, but some members of the trip prefer to travel by plane there and start backpacking there. It is difficult to find a group of friends with whom you can travel, the most difficult thing is living together. I met the friends I plan to travel with in college, they are fellow students. In our career we are forced to live together for weeks on prantice trips, that is why we achieve good coexistence and we no longer have that type of problem.
