To write about

Hi! Here I`m again, you too.

At this new semester I would recommended  a new way to post about. I think it would be interesting to post about things that we see in classes. In my mind is something like seeing a short video, listening music or others in a half of the English hour and write about it at the other half.

Free posting

HI! Today is free blogging and I´m going to write about that thing which almost all we do when paper and pen are available: scribble. Personally I only scribble “in off”, meaning kind of not thinking and only worried about the strokes and the scribble by itself. I usually do it in classes, because my notebook is white, I’m distracted and also have a lot of colors at my pencilcase so getting lost scribbling at boring or exhausting classes is definitely the best option.

Even when scribble is mostly frowned upon there is said that it benefits memory and contrary to what most of people think it would help focusing. I´m not sure about it, but for me it is a relaxing thing to do and really enjoy it with colors ; also my favorite think about scribble is that I don’t need to know anything about draw so I recommended the activity. Badly drawing seal approval. Furthermore, now you can buy mandalas books and don´t even worry about scribble and only get into colors and paint. Also recommended if you enjoy colors as me.

Blogger Experience

Well, as I told at first post, this blog is part of an English signature at university, some work to help me and the class improving English. I´m not very sure it actually helps to do so, but at least is a innovating tool to make us write in English. Even when I´m not very comfortable, principally because I do not write as well as I like and I do that thing which Spanish people do translating sentences in Spanish and looking a little monkey ; I think blogging has been the funniest way to make us write, especially because it also make us interact by posting another’s classmates blogs.

Also, I have to say that at first I was complicated with the program (application, whatever) use, because I am not a technological person, I am very sure that I haven´t learned how to use the different tools and even don´t know how to personalize my blog, but I´m also not a stressful person so I just let it go and I don´t it care anymore.

Other note is that when I read others post I don´t truly know if it is well written and never know it because I´m not going to read them again.

Post 8

Hi! Coming back from strike I´m trying to remember my university schedule so I´m going to tell you about my favorite subject this semester: It has been Organic recycling; it is an elective subject about giving new uses to organic residues from industries and particulars (houses). In this subject we have learned how managing the residues in order to separate them from the real waste and give them new uses such as soil substrate or alternatives energies like “biol”, reducing the human level of contamination plus the added value to this new products ; also we have visualized the different levels of contamination/residues/waste among the country  with the specific and local way to manage it, so I found this subject very useful and practical ; It also goes in the way that I want to grow up as professional and human.

The subject is a lot of chemistry which is the difficult part besides the long investigation to the seminaries we have to present. At practical activities we went to two composting plants, to make a comparative in technology and treatments. That’s Organic recycling. J

A career-related website

HI! Today I am going to write about the internet and how I use it for my career. https://scielo.conicyt.cl/ is for me the most useful tool. The web page describes himself as a scientific library. Here is where I look for papers to my academicals research, I like it because I am not very technological and find this page really user friendly (there is no way you can miss), plus it does not have advertisements. I do not use it currently, only for work and it truly saves the bibliography.

To entertainment and a little bit of agro-culture I usually go to Netflix or TED and watch some documentaries about food production (very popular now a days in these platforms), these is something I do more often, principally because I pause the videos and see them along the week. The last thing I saw was an autobiographic movie: Temple Grandin, a woman with autism at USA who redesigns slaughterhouses to make them less stressful for the animals to be killed. Recommended.

About Climate Change

The phenomenon not much phenomenon, because Earth´s climate has changed throughout history; our current problem is about the velocity of this change as the result of human activities, pollution and over population (humans in conclusion). Global temperature rises, oceans warms, ice sheets are melting, glacials retreats, sea level rises and extreme weather events are more often.  Climate change is also known as global warming, literally means Earth is warming up as the result of excessive greenhouse effect gases accumulated in the atmosphere. So, talking about solutions: we need to drastically reduce the emission of these gases; forego fossil fuels and replace them with renewable sources of energy, consume less and be conscious about the objects of our consumption, eat smart (because agriculture is also responsible, principally by agrochemicals and production of meat) and birth control are some of the measures to be taken in order to decrease our negative impact.

Looking for the north

Back in 2014 I went backpacking to the north of Argentina with some friends. After travelling for some weeks ,  we went to Iruya, a village into the mountains whose only access is by crossing a river (there isn´t a bridge). A day after our arrival we met some Argentinean road friends with whom  we decided to make a trekking to San Isidro, another village even more hidden into the mountains. It was a hard path and we had to cross the river again. On our way back as it had started raining and the river had risen making crossing impossible we had to ask a local person for shelter ; we slept wet on a cold floor. The next morning, Pablo, the local guy who gave us shelter guided us to Pantipampa, another road to Iruya.
This is the picture that Pablo took us at the top of Pantipampa, after watching some wild horses and a condor from 5 meters of distance (awesome!). We were not condors but we were flying. I love this photo because it reminds me of the adventure in that beautiful place and the beautiful people I met.

Longing for Iruya <3
