Hello everyone! As you may already know from previous blogs, I am a forestry engineering student, I have been studying for three incredible and exhausting years now. In this time I have realized some things that I love about my career and some things that I don't like so much. First of all, my faculty is located in a very big and beautiful campus called Antumapu. It's full of green and wonderful trees, so I am glad to go there every week. But the infrastructure is not so good, because the classrooms are very uncomfortable and I think they don't promote learning, besides we need more study rooms, there are only two, and also comfortable places to sit and relax. Secondly, most of the teachers are amazing in their field, some of them are great teachers and inspire me. But some of them make me wonder why the hell they teach. It's as if their teaching methodology is to make us suffer. So, I think some of them could improve their teaching skills to make our learning more fun ...

If I had the opportunity to travel back in time, I would love to visit many places and see my relatives when they were young.I would love to see my granny again, meet her in her youth, my mom too. But if we have to talk about a definite place and time, I would love to have been able to see live the Woodstock festival, considered the most important festival in the history of rock. So I would like to travel between August 15 and 18, 1969, to an alfalfa field in Bethel, 100 km southwest of Woodstock, New York, which was where it was originally going to be held, but the neighbors objected at the last minute. The festival was contemplated for about 200 thousand people, but it is estimated that there were about 500 thousand or even more, which caused a huge chaos, but it is said that it had a unique magic and mystique, since the participants were young people who promulgated the slogan "peace and love", mainly against the Vietnam War that was being fought in those years. Although t...

  Hello everybody! Today I am going to talk about my dream job in the future. First of all, today I am in 3rd year of forestry engineering, but I would love to be able to continue studing later, as a master or PhD. That would be great! Because my dream job needs a lot of knowledge to do research on the forest of Chile and the world, study innovate ways to mitigate climate change, discover how to protect native forest and preserve endangered plant communities as well as the fauna associated with them. I would like to work in a research center located in the south of Chile, somewhere remote, full of nature and beautiful landscapes, where the reserch team and I would have to travel in a van to carry our work instruments and in some places of difficult access, such as unexplored islands, we would have to use a small boat. That skill that I need to work here would be to know a lot about plant physiology, conservation and restoration methology, ecology, forest dinamics and much mor...
