POST 8: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Could to take English was an Odsyssey. It was really hard to take the subject because its schedule always overlapped some obligatory subject. Just in my FOURTH year I could take English 3, in another faculty!! (taking advantage of online classes). There we had to write in our blogs every week too, but we used the class time and the teacher gave us a feedback at the moment. In English 4, the level it was higher than previous one, but that helped me to making an effor and learning more. For example, with the blog, we not only practice our writting about a topic, but also we had to comment our class mates's blogs and with that we could practice reading and give our opinion for that. Other thing I liked for English 4 it was all classes we had to talk each other, practicing listening and have a casual conversation about interesting things. Although I could practice that, I need to practice much more cause I still get nervous when I'm talking and I tend to have gramatical mistakes or bloking the words, and then I try to replace the word in spanish so I end speaking a kind of "spanglish". My dad told me that exist some plataforms you could join to speak with native people to practice, so I could try that because in my near environment I don't have persons who talk in English. Sometimes, I try to make sentences in my head, but it's not the same to have a fluid conversation with someone. Also, I always watch series in the original language (the most in English) to listen the casual way to talk, and a good exercise I apply too it's try to watch animated series in English without subtitles (I like Adventure Time or Steven Universe), because they use a casual speaking and the caracters module very well so it's easy to undersand what they are saying. Well, I love languages so really want to improve my English (especially my speaking), and I hope to learning more and more, and maybe next year, take another advance English course to help me to use tecnical language applied in the career, not only a casual way. 

This is our last blog so I hope we all had learned a lot and I wish you a super duper end of semester<3 I'M SORRY FOR SO MUCH TEXT AAA

POST 7: CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi everyone! Well, as I said in my previous posts I'm study Natural Renowable Recourses Engineering. Although I really love my career, I can´t deny that the study programme have a lot failing. By first, some subjects, like "Computer programming", needs to be in the first semester because there you can learn to use some basic tools of programs we use in the whole career like Word, Excel and Power Point; even you learn how to cite. Regarding the curriculum, there are subjects wich don't have connection with the rest, and maybe you lose the sense of studying them, like "Calculus" (we have four subjects about that) or "Physical", so I suggest to focus them on our working area. About the faculty facilities, a bad thing that I didn't like when I went to presential classes was the little computer classrooms, because we didn't fit in there. When I studied "GIS and Cartography", some classmates had to take their own computers because the computers in the rooms weren't enought and that was a problem. So the faculty could invest in more (and better) computers or have a better organization for class sections. Another important thing that the faculty needs to improve is its accesibility, because the classrooms entrance aren't inclusive. We only have stairs, but we would must to have ramps. Finally, about the length studies, I think five years is ok, but, the problem is the last year is sooo hard (we really have a heavy workload) especially if you want to make you memory title at time. That's the reason of so many people ends taking an extra semester, even a complete year, so maybe we need a better balanced curriculum. Well, there are sooo many things that I could say about this topic, but a positive thing is the study programme has changed at this year, so many of point that I mentioned before have been changed in the new one! I hope this changes could improve the develop of this beautiful career and make better "recurseres"<3

POST 6: TIME TRAVEL TO THE FUTURE

Everyone have thought at least once to time travel, to the future or the past. I think traveling to the past could be dangerous, because anything you change could change all the present where you from, even your own existence (chan chan chaaaan). When I was a kid I read a tale named "A sound of thunder" by Ray Bradbury (maybe some of you have read it in school), and there, the people in future travels to the past to hunt dinasours, but you can only do in an specifical way and moment, and the thing is that a man make something wrong, like smash a buterfly and aaaall the future change for that little thing (spoiler, I'm sorry). So, I could make a time travel, I choose to travel to the future, and then, I could see what future we reach, and see what will happens in a 20, 30 or even in a 100 years. ¿What will happens with the climate change? ¿How much the Earth will have change?, and the way that we live? (if we still existing in a 100 years). Maybe my best friend Fernanda would go with me, because she is one of my best adventure partenrs, and there we explore all the posible places to investigate that future. I don't think that we would stay there, altough I thnik about it if is a good future with flying cars and tecnological things like that (like in the futurist movies), but, if is a bad future (in a post-apocaliptic way), maybe I would like to come back to the present to do something to change that bad future or enjoy my current present. If you could travel in time, would you like to travel to the future or the past?
