An artist

Hi bloggers, I hope that will be a great weekend! 

I like many artist in many areas, for example writers, like the Colombian author Gabriel García Marquez Nobel Prize in 1982. My favorite book of this author is “cien años de soledad” is a fantastic text, have many character in the history. García Marquez is considerate the father of the Magic Realism, a current of literature famous in Latin America. Svetlana Aliexevich is other writer that I admire, she is a Byelorussian and she too win the Nobel Prize in 2015. She is a journalist and she write about the people and the women in the soviet era. I read the text Chernobyl´s voices and “la Guerra no tiene rostro de mujer”.

In this case, I am going to talk about Neil deGrasse Tyson, he is not an artist, I know, really is a scientist, exactly an astrophysics, but his work close the science to people and speak about all, the universe, the earth, the biology and the people almost an like an artist. He is famous for the serial Cosmos of 2014, is the same that Carl Sagan create in 1980. 

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a very intelligent person, he is a doctor in astrophysics of Harvard, he write many books about astronomy, I read the book origins that explain the origin and the dynamic of the universe and the earth. I know since the serial Cosmos, is a good serial and explain many things of the universe; I recommend this serial for all the people. Carl Sagan was the original creator and the mentor of Neil, today is my most inspirition. I like because he is very charismatic and is don’t difficult understand the science with him.  

 

A building that i like

Hi classmates!!!

First, I am not an architecture student and I don´t have many knowledge about this area, but I like the old buildings, because are symbol of others ages, and represent the past culture, the history, is like a fossil for me. In Chile I like the building of National Library, when I was a child was the first moment in that I went to this building, but was a rapid visit, and I do not appreciate the building. Before of enter in the university I remember that I went to the library to search a newspaper of the 1964 (El Mercurio) for a work of school, this experience was amazing because the library have a subterranean room with all the newspapers published in Chile. Are thousands and thousands of documents saved in microfilms and you can watch this microfilms using a machine like an old PC screen, also you can find other documents apart from books, like historic documents, maps and magazines. In the university, I went to the National Library for study in strike´s days, also like a meeting point with my classmates in the last semester for a work. 

About the building I don´t know much of the architecture, but I know that is one of the oldest building in the history of Chile like republic independent and was created in the government of Jose Miguel Carrera with others emblematic buildings. The architecture is Neoclassical (according to Wikipedia), and the architect was Gustavo García de Postigo. For me is like an old palace, I hear of Federico Sanchez that this architecture is a little copy of French´s buildings, like the Museum of Fine Arts, but I like it for the historical meaning. The building is located in Alameda 651, Santiago, is near of FAU.

I would like learn...

I would like learn German (but first English!). In the school, I had an experience with the German, in the seventh year until octave grade, we had French, German and English, and obviously the most important was the last. I was very bad in French, and in English and German, I was not very good. In the next years, we had to take the decisions of what language learn apart of English, which is obligatory. I toke German because I was better in this language than French, but also I remember that the government of Germany was the sponsor of our school (is a public school) and they said us that with the German we would study in Germany if we was good students in the language. This country had many systems of academic exchange, and very goods, every years we had German students in our school, and others Chileans students arrived to Germany, also we had the possibility of take the basic license of language German and free. This was motivational, but I was not a great student of German, and I not win anything, few people win these programs. Actually, I forget the German language; I remember the numbers and basics things and according to me is like the English language (difficult). I still think that the German is a good language for learn others knowledge of others areas of the geography, also because Germany is an advanced country and they have a lot to teach us.

Another thing that I would like learn is the statistics, I know that can be heard boring, I don´t like the statistics, but for my career is very necessary, in special if you like the physic area and other areas of the geography. For this purpose is vital learn use the software excel, the most basic, and others like SPSS or Stata, that are more difficult but can be manage more information with complex methods. Actually, in geography, the sadistic is a bit incipient; we have some subjects of statistic and statistic´s software, and are very difficult; even I almost reproved the subject “statistic geography”. Because this is my great feebleness together with math, I want to learn statistic. In the future, I hope that this knowledge will be a tool like a geographer.

My Passion

Hi bloggers, really I have more than one passion, the first obviously is my career (geography) especially the physic area, the geomorphology, climatology and others, also I like travel and know other places principally natural places, where I can breathe fresh air, watch beautiful landscapes like the rainforest. However, in this occasion I am going to talk about other passion out of the university and the travels, is a computer game. I don´t played many computer games in my life, I don´t like stay in a chair in the front of a PC for hours, with the works of the faculty is sufficient for me, but this game is the best, its name is Undertale. This game is very simply for play, was launched in the year 2015, Toby Fox is the creator, is a genius!. The game is like the old video games for the graphic, the music and the way for play. But is for the history and the development of the game the cause because is famous, in this the player takes the decisions in the game, and the decisions have effects in the future and the final of the game, is like the real life!. If you have a good soul, the final will be good and every characters will be happy. In the game you fight or make the peace with the other characters. The name of the protagonist is Frisk, and it fell in a underground world governed for the monster they will try steal your soul for leave of these world. 

However, I don’t like make spoilers, but I recommend this game, is good… The music also is a great element of the game, is very prizewinning.
