English, English and more English

Imagen
This is the last blog of the semester, and the topic is nothing more and nothing less than English, it was entertaining in general, I liked that the classes have been very interactive, even though the teacher was unlucky this semester and there were fewer classes, but overall all has been good. After two or three blogs I've already got use to writing them. I like to write so it has not been a problem, much less a inconvenience, of course I usually write texts in Spanish, but basically it is the same. It's fun to have something every week that makes you think about a certain topic and has to write accordingly. Some of the things that I need to improve are the writing and pronunciation, I plan to keep writing things in English, maybe some of the stories that I write I will translate into English, just for leisure and practice a little more, it will also help me to improve my lexicon. As for the pronunciation, it has been a bit more difficult, it is not enough to sing the lyrics o...

Changes to my Study Programme

Imagen
Hi everyone! In this post I will write about the changes I would like to make to my study program. I will write about this year's program, second year of forestry engineering. I can't think of big changes to the study program, the subjects are there for a reason, but I would change certain teaching methodologies or something as basic as improving the disposition of some teachers, without giving names so as not to fall into detail. I would like that both in mathematics and genetics we have to do more practical exercises, although the theoretical part is important, I feel that I integrate the subject much better when I apply it. Another thing that I would like to change is the free hours that there are at noon, for lunch I suppose, but I feel that it is too much, it would be fine with one single hour, so classes would end earlier. Regarding other subjects, I have no changes to make, statistics complement very well when studying online. Because I mentioned the online study, I shou...

Time Travel

Imagen
Hello everyone, now it's time to talk about time travel. Many movies, series and books come to mind, but I will not write about those things, I will answer the question, where would I go? Or rather, what year would i go? I suppose... If I was able to travel to the past or the future, it would be without a doubt to the future, there are enough history books that tells us about the past, although there are unrecorded periods and so on, what will happen to the planet and how far the human race will go calls my attention. I can't decide an exact date, it would be like playing the lottery, so if I had the possibility I would like to jump from 50 to 50 years into the future, seeing how the environment on earth changes and knowing the advances that are taking place in every half century, where would i stop? Well, I would like to stop, thinking optimistically, at the moment where humans became an exoplanetary specie, I would love to be able to travel in a spaceship and be a kind of col...

Future Job

Imagen
Hello everyone, today it's time to talk about my future job ... or at least what I hope is my future job. In any case, I'm in second year of forestry engineering, I don't know if that's an excuse for not knowing what I want to work on, but I'll try to think of some ideas. A job, quite romantic I would say, would be to manage a national reserve, worry about the resources of the respective area, its visitors, worry about keeping the environment of the place healthy, among other things. At least I am clear that my future work must involve the outdoors, perhaps I'll work as an investigator for a project of a company or organization. Also, biometrics classes have caught my attention lately, the measurement of flora, fauna, forests, trees, are attracting my attention, collecting data, mapping, sounds like a fun job to me. On the other hand, I understand that I will be able to work in fire control, that area also calls me or the area that comes after the fires, the res...

Forest engineering

Imagen
Hello everyone, today's topic will be the profession I am studying. Well, what can I tell you about the career? To start, this career is very interdisciplinary and provides scientific and technological knowledge for my professional performance, prepare me to manage forest resources and contribute to the protection of the environment and sustainable development. I have always liked the idea of the conservation of nature, when I left high school I had one thing clear, I didn't want to spend my life behind a desk, and one of the best benefits of the career is just that, as a forest engineer you will spend most of your time in the field or in the laboratory or so I hope, I wish I could contribute to the economy in a sustainable way and guess what, the career gives you the tools to do so. I also really like that you have to travel to different places and that the field of action is quite wide, therefore it makes it easier to find a job. Aanyone who thinks that forestry is just about...

Dungeons & Dragons

Imagen
Hi everyone! Today is a "free topic" so I decided to do it about nothing more and nothing less than Dungeons & Dragons, a role-playing game which kept a couple of colleagues and me awake until 4:00 am. this morning. Well, surely several of you are unaware of the subject, so I will explain what is it about and some basic concepts. Dungeons & Dragons is originally a medieval fantasy board game (although we play it online) in which you can create your own character and play in the world acting like him, it can be a bit embarrassing at first but you get used to it fast. In the image you can see my character sheet, each player has one except the dungeon master, who is the one who controls the enemies and the flow of the story. Regarding the character sheet, it is Thorfinn, a level 1 fighter, I will explain some of the numbers that you see there, each character starts with some initial statistics that determine their performance in certain areas, we can see that Thorfinn is...

Foals

It was on April 2, 2019 at "Centro cultural teatro la Cúpula", the musical group was Foals. Foals is an English rock band from Oxford, formed in 2005. Its members are the lead vocalist and guitarist Yannis Philippakis, drummer and percussionist Jack Bevan and rhythm guitarist Jimmy Smith. They are currently signed to Warner Records, and have released six studio albums to date. The band's most recent studio album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost - Part 1 was released in March 2019, while their sixth and immediate follow-up, Part 2, was released on October 18 of the same year and became the band's first album to top the UK chart that year. During the concert the atmosphere was pleasant and unique, especially the setting of the stage and the use of lights every time the rhythm of the songs changed. At first I was overwhelmed, since I am not used to crowds and unfortunately I was in the first row in front of the stage, they pushed me against a fence and I felt even more...
