Some reflections...

Imagen
 This year has been very strange, it's difficult to get good things out of a period where many people have died, we can't communicate normally and basically stay locked up at home every day. There are always good things, at least academically I have been decent, a little better than before, perhaps by the flexibility of the teachers by the pandemic I think, although it is not as I would have liked, I prefer to go to classes even if it takes me two hours to arrive. Personally I have had a lot of time to think about life, about what I want for the future, I have also thought a lot about others because it is a difficult situation. The bad thing, is that I think much more about death, I am tormented by it, I feel that I have not taken advantage of my time and I want to do many things, and that people are always very close to death, I do not want to think about it. I have also thought a lot about how bad my first year of college was, although it's no use and there's no time ...

Your favorite book

The truth is I consider myself an ignorant person, I don't read many books, mostly I read things on the internet and about my college career, maybe I lack the time or just don't feel like it. A book that I read in my college days and marked me a lot is "Of Love and Shadow" (de amor y de sombra) by Chilean writer Isabel Allende, is a very entertaining novel, set in the dictatorship in Chile, its history is very exciting and its characters are very endearing, there are also very rare episodes characteristic of magical realism (as the supernatural strength of some characters) which I find very shocking and interesting.

I've always been interested in reading the books about Diego Maradona's life, I even have some but I haven't given myself the time to read them, I would also like to read the game of thrones saga (it scares me because it...

A subject you´ve enjoyed studyng this semester

 The truth is that I have not enjoyed this semester very much, in a way that online does not work really well, it is more difficult, besides the classes that I havetaken are not of my taste. The only one I have enjoyed the most is "biogeography", in this class we analyze the relationship of animal species with the environment, looking at aspects such as ecology, species, territories, trophic systems and many other things. I like it very much because we learn from many animals and we understand their environments, we also learn a lot about animals and plants from Chile, we have also done many interesting works that help to understand the field better, it really feels like learning. I would also like to highlight another class "GIS applications" because it is very entertaining (although many times difficult), the teacher is very nice and understanding, besides being very clever.
