How have I changed?


Hello, everybody!

Today I'll tell you how much I've changed.
I think about the past, and I see myself as a schoolgirl. I remember that the problems were always the end of the world, I was very overwhelmed and did not look for quick solutions, even that's why I always had stomach pains and felt bad.
I also remember that I was very insecure with my body and was always thinking about how to be well off under the margins of society, how ridiculous! Today I think that by loving your body, you can be whatever you want with it.

But, one of my biggest changes and of which I am very proud, is that before for me everything had to be planned, I planned everything, but everything! Even my future was very well planned, which obviously frustrated me a lot when things didn't turn out the way I wanted. But I understood, I think that the hard way, that It's good to want things, but if there are changes do not get overwhelmed and you need to think that everything is for the better. That I think is one of my big and best changes.

What was your best change?

The subject i'm enjoyed this semester

Hello everyone!

This year, one of my favorite subject was Soil Geography.
It is a course of analysis and interpretation of soils, in the classes we see their characteristics and genetic processes, evolutionary and dynamic, for the management of analysis methodologies in laboratory and field.

It is a very entertaining course, I would have liked more if the classes had not been online, because it is a course where there is a lot of field analysis.

Within the contents we have been able to see the study of the soil and its importance, the soil as an open and dynamic system, that is to say that it is in constant change, the factors of soil formation, that is to say how it affects it, the climate, vegetation, organisms, time, among others, its structural components and elements of analysis, notions about soil chemistry and characterizations to determine the quality of the soil.

For me this is a very interesting topic, since according to me knowing the composition of the soil is the basis of a geographer, so it has been my favorite course of the semester. I also liked very much how the teacher tried to deliver the knowledge of analysis soil through videos, as it allowed me to try certain analyses at home.

So i'm happy with this subject.

Career Related Website

Hello everyone!

My favorite site related to my career is Windy, it is a site that offers interactive weather forecasting services all over the world. It is a site with very accurate information, easy to use and even more to interpret and with a powerful density of information layers to adapt it to whatever our needs are.
And I love it for that, because besides seeing the weather forecasts, you can get information about the concentration of C02, sea temperatures around the world, amount of rain that will fall and the one that is falling, the amount of clouds, wind speed, among others.

It is a jewel for geography, I use it all the time, because it gives very valuable information, to be able to make studies of forecasts and impacts in the environment, but also it can be used because it is very entertaining, interactive and explanatory.

I recommend using it, is very easy to use, you can download it for iPhone, Android, or it can also be used without any installation, directly from the web. I leave the link so you can navigate and discover everything that happens on earth.

Here's the link!! -->  https://www.windy.com/?-38.083,-67.500,5

What are you really into?

Today I'm going to talk about my quarantine hobbies. On days in quarantine and with a lot of free time indoors, I look for entertaining things to do. My first hobby is that in one hour of the day, it can be in the morning or in the afternoon, I exercise (I have always tried to apply exercise in my life), but now with more time I have been able to do it every day. My second hobby is watching movies, I like very much to do research on actors or directors and then watch a couple of their movies. My third hobby is new, I researched a lot, since the quarantine and world situation had me anxious and stressed, so now before sleeping I do a series of breaths and meditations based on "mantras" which calms me a lot. And my last hobby is new too, I read, but this last weeks I have been interested in reading about different philosophers, I love to learn about how their thoughts, reflections, and visions about the world.
And those are my hobbies and I think the last hobby is the one that has obsessed me the most these last weeks.

See you in the next blog!!


My favorite Picture

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to talk about my favorite picture. So this picture is one of my favorites, it was taken in 2016. That year I travelled to Germany for three months as an exchange student, because as I mentioned in another of my blogs, I studied at a German school, so that year I was able to go and visit many places. As the distances within Europe are not so long, I decided to travel to Italy. Since I was a child I have been very interested in Italian culture, because of its language, charisma and food. One of my favourite places was Pisa, it's a very small Italian city, the Italy that you see in the movies. This photo was taken by my friend Paulina (schoolmate in Chile), the photo shows the river Arno, which crosses the whole city of Pisa, you can see the Italian architecture and the Church of Santa Maria della Spina that is literally on the river bank. I really like this picture because the sky looks fabulous. My stay was very close to that place so I have many memories of that view. And a freaky fact is that the best pizza I've ever tasted was in Pisa.

Things that catch my attention on the street

Hi everyone!


The thing that catches my eye on the street is the number of stray dogs. And I've noticed that when you look at them and tell them something, they always wag their tail, and they approach you and don't leave you until you go in somewhere. I love that even though dogs are the most faithful animals, the stray dog has a more humble and grateful attitude of any gesture you make to them. For example one day I was in the virgin of the San Cristobal hill and a dog approaches me and I gave him water, I believe that so much its gratefulness, that when lowering the hill and directing me to the subway it was all the time with me, until I entered the subway. I like dogs a lot, and I hope that someday all those dogs that are in the streets have an owner to love.

My favorite piece of tech

Hi everyone!

I've never been interested in technological things, like consoles, camera, computers or the cell phone. I even change my cell phone when it doesn't even turn on anymore. But as I mentioned in another post, I love to spend my time watching movies, series, short films, videos, etc.  That's why I discovered SmartTV, which I think is my favorite piece of technology. Last Christmas I bougth a SmartTV, for me it's very cool, now without realizing it I'm watching whole afternoons of series and weekends are of movies for sure.  I really like that it is connected to the Internet, and can do all kinds of things, even listen to music, I feel that it has many fun features.  Now Can I live without a SmartTV? Yes, of course I can. But still, I hope it is in my room much longer.
