Blog 7: Changes to study program

Imagen
  Hello everyone! In this chance I am going to write about my actual career and if I would like to change something.  Firstly, I am in fourth semester of Geography career, I entered university when the Covid-19 pandemic began, so I do not have experiment the “university life” yet, is this why I think that I could not propose changes for the career or the faculty ‘cause I think that I know just a part of everything that what means be in the university.  In second place, I can say that in my opinion my career is very complete, because it approaches so many topics that geography is on, that we can choose an area which we want to specialize in in the future. Thinking better, there is a thing that I would like to change, really it is not a change, it is just a comment, I would like to have more Cartography classes ‘cause we just have it in the first semester and I really liked it. If I think about the methods of teaching I think it is good considering that the classes are virt...

Blog 6: Time travel

Imagen
Hi everyone, today's topic is time travel, and the first thing that comes to my mind is the movie Interstellar, I know that the theme of the movie is not exactly time travel, but I focus on how complicated it is. space-time that I can't imagine people traveling to the future or the past. Now opening my imagination a lot and assuming that time travel is possible, I would like to travel to the future, I do not know exactly in what year, but I would like to see if human beings can take care of the planet or if the planet transforms itself into a futuristic place, like the cities that appear in the movies, where everything is highly technological. However, I would also like to travel back in time and see how the dinosaurs became extinct hahah . I would also be interested to travel to the past in time when the biggest artists Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo lived, ‘cause their incredible works attract my attention and so I could meet them and see the process of their works. Think...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
  Hello everyone, in this blog I have to talk about my future work. First, at the moment I am studying geography, but I am applying for a career change to anthropology and my idea is to specialize in archeology. I made this decision because I realize that my dream job is working on the discovery of archaeological remains, so now I have to wait for my response to the career change. Since I was little, I have liked outdoor works and activities and in this job I imagine myself traveling a lot and discovering archeological remains in the south of Chile and around the world. If someone doesn’t know what is for, with these discoveries we could know more about the communities who lived in those places years before us. Also I would love to work in different countries and places... like the desert! Respect to the salary, archeologists are very well paid but this isn’t the main importance for me, I just think it is a very interesting and fun job.  I am not studying this career yet, but ...

Blog 4: My profession

Imagen
Hi!  In this blog I'm going to talk about my future profession. In this moment I’m studying geography and it’s something that englobe so many things in the life, when someone hear about this, probably think in landscapes or maps, but it’s more than that because geography is in the territorial planification, in how the people are distributed in the territory, in the territorial discrimination, in how some landcapes are like we see now, and explains the why of some caractheristics in landcapes, and so much more. The versatility of this career is why I chose it and the number of areas that I can choose from and specialize in.  Some benefits that I think at this moment is that if I chose the side of physical geography, I can work out of an office most of the time, I can constantly work on the ground. In the case that I chose the side of human geography, I can work on the ground too but knowing the reality of some people who are in difficult situations, territorially speaking. I th...

Blog 3: free themed topic

  Hello! This time I had a hard time deciding what to write about and I decided to write about my cat. In my home there are three official cats and one lives out of the house but we give her food. Of the four cats one is mine, her name is Freyja like the nordic goddess of fertility. She is three and a half years old, and is the youngest. She is so skittish that when she eats I have to be next to her or she doesn’t eat.  Also she loves to sleep anywhere except in my mom’s room. When I’m in class she gets on my legs and sleeps there. In my brother’s bedroom there is a drum and she gets into the bass drum and sleeps there, so when someone is going to play the drum it is necessary to see if she is there. The day when we realized that she sleeps there, was because my cousin started to play the drums and Freyja got out there running very fast. We thought that she wouldn't come back to sleep there but we were wrong ‘cause every moment she is there. I leave you a video of Freyja getti...

Blog 2: The best holidays ever

Imagen
Hi, this is my second blog and I would like to tell you about the best holidays. I think my best holiday, until today, was in January 2019 when I went to Puerto Natales. It was the second time I went, but this time it was special because I went with two of my brothers. If all four brothers had gone, the holiday would have been even better. We stayed a fortnight at a cousin's house who wasn't there, we went all over the town. We went to the incredible Torres del Paine, we couldn't be there without going to see them, we also went to the Milodon Cave, where there are three caves of different sizes and we went into all of them, one of them is small and when you go you have to bend down, I couldn't go that far because I was scared because it was so dark. We also went to Punta Arenas, where we visited the cemetery which is very characteristic for its trees, called cypresses. We were only there for a short time, but we visited the most touristy parts. Although I had been there...

Blog 1: A country you would like to visit

Imagen
Hello everyone, my name is Pamela and today I’m going to talk about one country that I would really like to visit at least once in my life, this place is Ireland, this is an island located in the northwest of the European continent. This country is known as the "Emerald Island" for its beautiful green landscapes, for that catches my attention and for the incredible number of castles that there are, although this is not the only country that has castles, in Europe there are many more. I dream of visiting many castles and learning about the old culture that once lived there, in fact there are some of these castles that were built in the 12th century. Another reason to go to Ireland is that in this country the series called Vikings was filmed, and that is one of my favorites. With this program I fell in love with the places where the stories were developed. I also read that the Game of Thrones series was filmed there too, but I haven't seen it. There, in addition to being a ...
