BLOG 5 - Academic challenges 2021

Image
I think the biggest challenge was dealing with not having a space to study, i mean... i had to get used to the idea of studying and having classes in a place where i sleep and spend most of my time. At first, i didn't even have a desk! so... it was a difficult time until eventually i was able to buy it an then a chair. And well... having a completely slow notebook... ugh. I think i bought it more than a 7 years ago lol but it still works and has been my salvation (sometimes) in this online period. About home learning... i think it's dificult to learn from home but not impossible. I think the main obstacle to learning from home is depending 100% on the stability of the internet and distraction. I have VTR and it crashes every day :( i have already felt the terror of having to make a presentation just after the internet went down 😨.  Finally, what i have enjoyed the most is definitely getting up a little later than i normally do and with that, not having to take so much time on

BLOG 4 - My dream job

I've always had a thing for video cameras but personally, i don't like to record myself but the environment. I would love to have a job as a documentary filmmaker or something that allows me to travel and get to know different realities. I can imagine that it's a very sacrificing and dangerous job, but i would like to travel around the world and not only to the “nice” places but also where there are different conflicts and things like that.

I really have no idea how much the salary would be, but it would be great to make a lot of money at it. I guess the most interesting thing about documenting something, is the recognition more than the money, but being able to transmit and inform about certain situations, cultures or places is great. Now... not so seriously, i would LOVE to be able to work taking care of pan

BLOG 3 - The role of technology in my profession and life.

I believe that like anything else, technology has a good and bad side, and it's up to us to make a contribution and use it for the better.  I think the most relevant thing for me (a geography student) is to be able to know with inmmediacy what is happening in the world and at different scales, things as basic as knowing the weather for the next week or the same GPS that we use everyday! so... i think technology has definitely boosted the discipline and other disciplines as well. For example... in the past, cartographies or maps had to be made by hand, today programs like ArcGIS make your life easier! (thanks technology 🧐). I couldn't decide between the smartphone or maybe a musical instrument such as my electronic drum kit. First, the smartphone has so many functions that allow us to communicate, take pictures and videos, listen to music, watch movies, etc. so for me, it's very useful but... i'm not so much fan about social media. And well, having a e-drum i think... i
