Post 9 : Changes to my study program

Hi, Fernanda here!

Today I want to talk about my idea of studying Natural Resources because sometimes what we hope is far from reality. (Not SO far but far)

When I take the decision of studying this career I said to myself: “This is my opportunity to stay an entire week between trees and to think about how we are going to make it to make the world a better place, full of trees and with animals all around us”. (Not really like that but close) I was so simpleton… I mean, I am not disappointed about the career I really like what I am studying but I have been talking to some comrades and there are not so many field trips as I thought... and I have to admit that it disappoints me a bit because I think that you have to be in the field to get real knowledge. Also I think we should have more English courses because it is really helpful to know how to speak and write in a good way since our University years, this way in the future we only have to practice it and not add it to our “To do list”.

Furthermore I think that omitting scants field trips and insufficient English courses, study program is O.K (May we considerate that this is O.K? XD) I mean we have a lot of different courses so we can get a lot of knowledge in different areas which I think is really important because of the type of works that we could do in the future.

What about you? What do you think about your study programme?

Post 8 : Personal Opinions

Hi there, Fernanda here!

First of all I have to say that to write this post was not easy for me because I couldn't find easily a good topic to write about.

First I thought to write about personal relationships but then I thought that it is such a delicate topic so I decided not to write about that. Then I thought that writing about a series was a good idea but that idea doesn't convinced me at all.

Finally I decided to write my opinion about books, as easy as that, because I think to read is the best activity to do.

I mean, you can read everywhere, in the bus, in the subway, in a park, at home, everywhere, and you just need that, a simple but amazing book. In my opinion it is really easy to find something good to read because there are topics of books for every taste. There are long ones, short ones, with or without pictures, love stories and really good thrillers.

I really like mystery books, but I also really enjoy a good love story.

My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. I think the author writes in such a beautiful way that you can get into the world she is describing you and be part of it really easy. You can empathize with every character of the story, and that is something that not every author get.

What about you? What do you think about books? I would love if you recommend me one that you like! 

Post 7 : Environmental Conflicts

 Hi there, Fernanda here!

I want to ask you a question; will you prefer making money in a determinate place instead of inhabitant’s health? Here in Chile big business owners prefer a billion times money. Can you believe it? I mean, how selfish and insensible may these people be? I think they don’t deserve to be called humans.

Quintero is a really worrisome matter but it is not the only environmental conflict that we (as Chileans) have past.

For example in 2008 HidroAysen which contemplates the construction of five hydroelectric centrals (two in Baker river as three in Pascua river) presents its Study of Environmental Impact which a lot of people said that was adulterated, even when it gets throw different channels of communication for environmental topics without being freeze in any steps of them.

So in this point I ask myself what kind of people we are choosing to be in charge of our national reality and also to be our voice in legislative topics. I my opinion we (I mean, not only in Chile but almost all over the world) are messing it up in a lot of different ways, but come on! We may not keep choosing the same people to be in charge! Do we never learn about our past errors? I think the biggest problem here in Chile is that people is really forgetful.

I hope good times will come soon because we really need them (but not Piñera’s )

Have a nice Friday!
