My Favourite Species is?

Knowing the different trees and plants is an important issue in our career. During my years here, I can say that although I already know many, there is not one that really is my favorite. Even so, the first species that comes to mind when they ask me this is Fitzoya cupressoides.

Fitzroya is a monotypic genus in the cypress family. The single living species, Fitzroya cupressoides, is a tall, long-lived conifer native to Chile and Argentina. Common name is Alerce. The genus was named in honour of Robert FitzRoy. Alerce is the largest species in South America. Normally growing to 40–60 m, but occasionally more than 70 m, and up to 5 m in trunk diameter. Its rough pyramidal canopy provides cover for the southern beech, laurel and myrtle.

The reason why this species easily comes to my mind is because, normally it is a species that is easy to recognize, thinking of its "silver" bark or its pyramidal canopy, but for me it has always been difficult to identify it. It's something that still surprises me, I've gone to the two national parks where there is great density of these and despite that, I'm still questioning “Is it or is it not Alerce?” When I'm watching it

SUMMER

Take a bus to Valdivia for exploring the region of Los Lagos in January of 2017. I moved through the city and then down into the different lakes until you return to climb and reach "Panguipulli" where I found the best place in my vacation. Is a site that you have to get to by barge, the travel during 2 or 3 hours and half the time you lose your phone signal. When you arrive you can only see two houses, a restaurant and a box or something like that. On the side there is a huge lake with the name of the place, which I do not yet want to reveal. Inside this place there is a place that I love. It is a small space with a stream that reaches the lake. Sun, clouds, Cold, Heat, all in a just one place. It is a small paradise away from the world, where you have no signal and can enjoy yourself or your company. I met him with my best friend.

This is it

VISIT

I have always decided to travel to Asia, from small I love the culture and its history so diverse and which is maintained over time, and that also goes parallel to the new technology that stands out there. At the moment my priority is to travel to Seoul, capital of South Korea. This country is in just half of China and Japan, so I feel it is the perfect place for move and travel to diference sites. I know its history at the level of existing empires and monarchs, on a large scale of course, and its customs, I know the basics of the language and I am currently studying it personally, I would like to visit Gangnam and Busan ... I like the music of that country, so to see an EXO concert would be a pleasure without a doubt. Also, my attraction to Korea was born from a dance studio called "1million", so I would like to take some class with the choreographers that I like the most. I have seen the possibility of going to visit the country with the scholarship of "Working Holydays" when the race ends or go to study in some institute or university the language, and thus live a time over there.

THIS IS IT 

My First Semester

This first semester has not gone badly. I had a bad 2017, so even the bad things of this year I try to see them better. Something good that happened to me was to be able to enjoy my last practice with my generation colleagues, even though at that moment I still had repercussions from the previous year, I could feel very good again with my group of friends, the ones I have since I entered the race.

Another good thing is the great relationship I have built with the mother of my best friend, we never had a bad relationship, but there was discomfort. One difficult moment made us contain the other, she more to me, than I to her. Even so, now that I think about it, that's the best I've achieved in this semester, she's really important to me. Her family, is my second family. I think another achievement has been getting out of my worries.

Something bad, I think the only thing I remember and is because it happened yesterday, was a problem with a teacher, she makes a asignature that a topic that I do not like, so I just want to approve it. When I saw my test I noticed that I had reviewed it badly, and I still do not want to correct it

I dont have something special to mention

I'll finish with my favorite phrase: Too early

Semester

This time i will talk about my semester. A semester is a period that varies depending on the interest of the classes that contain, that is my own definition. But today is different, I am interested in 90% of them and yet has been complicated at higher levels. I have 6 subject this semester: "English", "Ecosystems Assessment" with Professor Horacio Bown (academician with great vocation), "Silviculture and Forest Management", "Raw Materials and Industrial Supply", "Elective Forest Management Zone Arid", "Technical Writing", and my favorite is "territorial ordering", in which we plan the distribution and use of the resources in the study area. It has a theoretical part as a practice where we use the GIS system, for the creation of maps. After, I continue with an analysis regarding the decisions and importance we give to the present variables. It is difficult to interpret, but not perform. It was mainly use of resources, sectors for preservation and production, also discussed legal issues that go hand in hand for handling sectors.

I hope that efforts bring fruit, because the fatigue that I have accumulated is extraordinary.

WEB OR EXPERT?

I take the second option. In the career, the main topic that interests me, is the dynamics of ecosystems. Within this line, there are several sides that focus; which I like most to me is: fire ecology. There are some experts on the subject, but my favourite is my professor of fire, Miguel Castillo. He is Forester, by Universidad de Chile (1998), Diplomate in Mathematical Cartography, by UTEM (2002), Mgter in Geography, by Universidad de Chile (2006), Doctor in Natural Resource and Sustainability, by Universidad de Cordoba-España (2013).    

He currently works in the laboratory of forest fires, Universidad de Chile. Handled in the processes of anthropogenic arising from the action of the fire in landscapes, the territorial analysis of dynamic processes in the change of the territory and its environmental, economic and social implications. He handles the anthropogenic proceses arising from the action of the fire in landscapes, the territorial analysis of dynamic processes in the change of the territory and its environmental, economic and social implications. He also works within the scope of the disaster prevention and in the definition of strategies of territorial protection based on the application of tools GIS and others associated with the camp of the geomantic. Castillo is one of the maintainers of the project of CONAF (2016-2018 period) as research manager for the creation of patterns of ground for the restoration of sclerophyll formations affected by forest fires.

DANCING BOY

My favorite film is Billy Elliot, a British story developed in northeastern England, directed by Stephen Daldry and starring Jamie Bell. In this shows the story of a boy who knows the ballet and wants to become a dancer, while exposes the social problems of the period

In 1984, Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old, is sends by his father Jackie to the gym to learn boxing, but Billy dislikes the sport. One day, a ballet class begins in the gym, Billy whitout telling joins the ballet class. When Jackie discovers this, he forbids Billy to take any more ballet. But, passionate about dancing, Billy secretly continues lessons with the help of his dance teacher, Sandra Wilkinson. She believes Billy is talented enough to study at the Royal Ballet School in London, His family are outraged at the prospect of him becoming a professional ballet dancer. 

After this, I discovered Billy Elliot: The Musical, is about 10 years on stage and even has been recorded on DVD. This is starred by Elliott Hanna, and is my favorite. The music was composed by Elton John and is without doubt for me a work full of life, ordinary life. This Musical teaches something very important "EXPRESSING YOURSELF" y "LOVE YOURSELF"
