Hi. Today I will talk about an animal that I like very much, due to its tenderness, the heat it transmits and its good company. This is the sheep. Sheep are known in southern Chile, there tend to be flocks of sheep which are often exploited, these are used to remove their wool, to form more livestock through breeding, and finally sell their offspring. I like sheep because I have had one since she was very young, I only had hours of being born and she was found with her dead mother on a rainy day. It is crucial that they drink their mother's milk at least once, because if not, unfortunately, they die. Luckily, my little sheep had already fed, which contributed to its strong growth. She has always been affectionate to humans, likes to be touched on the head, specifically her ears, too, plays with the ball, and jumps on very high stones. She is a very protective mother, I say it because her daughter is an adult and they are still very close. These characteristics are the re...

Before using the Internet, I had a computer that only used it to play with my brother. Then, over time (10 years) accompanied my senior cousin to a computer course and where we clearly taught to use the internet, everything I learned there was very easy for me. With time in school we also had computer courses, and as more resources arrived at school the internet was becoming more important in our lives. We no longer watched DVD movies, but we looked for them on the Internet, we no longer shared music via bluetooth, but we listened to it from YouTube. On the Internet we can find everything we wanted, books, music, movies, funny videos, online games, etc. So it became something everyday for my friends and family. I started with social networks since I was 11, and until today I haven't stopped having one. I have not stopped checking the possible notifications that I have daily or worse, every moment. Whenever they ask me what I see on TV I answer that nothing, and that I don...

Today I will talk about the coolest concert I've been to, the second of three concerts Justin Bieber has done in Chile. From the age of 12 or 13 I have considered myself "Belieber", as the "fans" of this artist call themselves, and from that age I expected to attend a concert of him.   In 2011 I couldn't go because I was too young, but in 2013 I had collected enough money to buy my ticket. I remember that the day they announced the dates in Latin America, I immediately counted the days left to be November 12, 2013, exactly 169 days. From that moment, friends and family asked me almost every day how much time was left to go to my concert, something that made it even more exciting, share my feeling. On November 12, with my mom and my cousin Laura we were in the gates of the National Stadium, as soon as they opened, we ran with my cousin to place ourselves in our seats. We were small, but we felt the adrenaline in our body. I sang, cried, danced, an...

Since I started watching the Outlander series, my passion to know Scotland increased. Its green lands, its lakes, the rains and the infrastructure of its castles are the images that attract my attention to this specific country. Scotland is one of the countries that makes up the United Kingdom, and is located on the Island of Great Britain. An important fact of the culture of Scotland, is a musical instrument called “bagpipe”, specifically the bagpipes of the Highlands, I imagine that they have heard it more than a moment, and together with their music we also associate a skirt that dresses the man who plays the bagpipe. I will also tell you about the political movement that originated in Scotland, they called themselves the Jacobites, and this was intended to put a Scottish king back on the throne of the United Kingdom. Despite the riots, they never achieved victory against England. One of the places I want to know is Inverness Castle, which overlooks Loch Ness, pe...

The blog experience has been entertaining. I liked the idea of ​​sharing things that fill the heart of each person, such as talking about books, our favorite food, or the series that we liked the most. In the latter I lacked space to develop everything I wanted to share, is that I love it! Also reading the little things that fill the hearts of our classmates is a beautiful experience, because many times these things you only share with your friends, but never with your classmates. In addition, having colleagues from other careers generates other ways of seeing the world, because they are interested in other subjects. I will be honest, some topics that I had to write did not please me very much, like the topic of the favorite study tool. I think it must have been because of the technical aspect of my tool, which is my cell phone. Something that happened to me throughout this course, is that I forgot many times to write blogs in advance. Most of the time it happened because...

Hi. Today I talk about my favorite food the truth is that they are the Garbanzos Pelados that my mother prepares. Yes, I say my mom's chickpeas, because they are the ones I like the most, my favorites. I do not say it for being my mom's number one fan, but the truth is that I've eaten them in other places, but they're never as rich as those she cooks. My mother explains to me that, when cook this, to peel them, that is to say, to take out the skins, she throws a bit of baking soda, and it is because of this that they are so soft.  Even so, I have cooked them, following the secret tip that she shares with me, however, I manage to peel them but they stay more salty than normal, what a horror! Other ingredients that she add to this dish are very small chopped onions, rice, carrots and squash. And of course, she do not forget the oregano at the end. The problem I have when eating peeled chickpeas is that I always want to have a glass of drink too. The othe...

A normal day, as always, I was reviewing my Instagram account when I found a topic very interesting. It was the expression free bleeding, this refers to the choice of living the menstruation without using any bleeding collection product. I had heard this expression before, but I only knew one way of practicing it: 1) as a form of menstrual activism, letting blood flow in order to make menstruation visible and to question the way in which it is treated in our society and the place that occupies in it. The other way of practicing the expression of free bleeding that I did not know and that caught my attention was that of 2) listen to our body to know the moment in which it needs to evacuate the blood and then do it in the place that is decided. This way of menstruation impressed me because historically, the biggest problem of menstruation has been the inability to control it, this way of feeling it makes it amazing. We just have to learn to listen to our beautiful menstruating ...
