A nurse's aid infect with ebola

A nurse's aid is infected with ebola in Spain, is the first person with this disease out of Africa. Because of this it is so shocking to me, I mean if someone was able to get infected out of Africa, means that in any moment that disease might be extended to an another country an finally the rest of the world and there's no cure yet.

Two people were involved, the nursing assistant and the pacient who gave her (a 69 years old man).

This piece of news could affect my country because this could be an alert alarm. For example, the body's government might be more detailed with people who came to Chile.

I don't really know what kind of news I would to read or hear on TV, but I know that isn't the regular news you can hear or read  here, because they are  (mostly) stupid!. I mean, who cares what a model/singer  whatever do with her life, or if she bought something.
I'd like that our news were more cultural or important.

My future job

Hi everyone, today i'm going to talk about the thing I would like to do professionally in my life. 
At university I'm studying Forestry, but I would like to major in flora and fauna, specially in birds (I love ornithology), as I said in other post before, I like see birds and identify them by sight and hear, and I also like identify flora by their different classifications (corolla, leaf disposition, root, etc).
I would like to have a job which require be outdoors, investigation, know about nature.
To choose my job I would consider free time, I mean I don't want a job who consume all my time and life. Also I'll think about the money could get because I have a lot of plan in mind, like I'd like to have lots of animals, a swimming pool, etc. For those kind of stuff, obviously I have to have money. And I'd like to consider, if it is possible, if I would have the option to do the research or whatever at my way, I mean not to follow a rigid way to work.
My strenghts are that I'm an easy-going person, I mean is not difficult to me adapt to the rules or different kind of people and I work fine on a group work.
My weakness are all things that has to do with an audience that is talk in public, I get too nervous, but is something I can fix.
And that it.
See you around.

My best friend

I think all of us have a best friend, someone who we trust more than no one. In my case I think I have two: Oscar and Felipe.

I met them both at school. Felipe was my classmate since 2001 (5th grade) and Oscar was in the parallel class.

With Oscar we've been friends for 7 years from now (more or less) and with Felipe for 10 years (more or less). 

I consider them my best friends because they are who I trust the most, they know all about me and viceversa. 
And them both have been with me when I needed the most. 

With Felipe I went to a class-trip on 2007 to Brazil it was good and with other friends we've gone to the beach on different summers. I think those are my best memories with him.

Oscar has been my couple for 2 years from now and before this we've been friends (like I said before). 3 years ago we went to a trip with 2 more friends. We went to the south of Chile (Santiago to Chiloé) and we were traveling for like 3 weeks. We have a lots of photos of that and also last year we (only we both) traveled to Argentina (Villa la Angostura and San Martìn de los Andes) and we visited the south of chile too (Huerquehue, Petrohue and Puerto Varas). Those are my best memories with him. 

I hope I could carry on collecting memories with them.

Into the wild

I've never been keen on films so I don't really have a "favourite movie", but if someone ask me which one is my favorite I would say Into the wild.
This movie it's about a true story of a men (Cristopher McCandless) who after get the university done, decided leave everything. I mean get free of material life or things. Before he starts his new life, he broke his credit cards, he give his money (for charity), changed his name to Alexander Supertramp and he gone "Into the wild" (way to Alaska).

In this movie acts: 

Emile Hirsch (Christopher McCandless): A good 'student and son' who doesn't like the material life and decided go live in nature (without telling to his family), with no money. 

William Hurt (Walt McCandless) and Marcia Gay Harden (Billie McCandless): The parents of Cristopher. He is a hard-worker man who, thanks to this, forgot his family and she a house wife, and both are the kind of people who like feigh that everything is O.K. But their marriage is a disaster.

Jena Malone (Carine McCandless):  The Cristopher's sister. She is like the only friend he has, but he not ever told her, what he was planning to do. 

None part of the movie it's my favourite, I found it difficult to choose. All movie, in my opinion, is brilliant, even the soundtrack. I mean, the whole time you are feeling differents emotions.

I totally recommend it.

A place I would like to visit: España (Barcelona)

Barcelona is and Spanish city (the second most populated after Madrid).
I would like to go there because I had heared about the beauty of the city due to its architecture.
I don't know much about Spain in general but I do know that there are two main languages: Spanish (Castilian) and Catalonian (I would like to learn speak this).

In this place I would like to go to the beach, take some pictures, tours, go to museums, maybe go to the stadium, etc.

Is a place where I would like live or study maybe, because I have an uncle who studied there and he says that that was a very good experience. Also I have always said I have to go there (Spain) because of my last name I think and I like the accent they have and Is easier (If I go to study) for me to understand the subjects  too.

About me

My name is Victoria, I'm studying forestry at Universidad de Chile. I'm 24 years old and I live with my parents and sisters in Santiago, Chile (we are from here).
My mother (Nadia) is an English teacher and my father (Ricardo) is an electrical engineer.
I have two sisters, their names are Tania and Belén. Tania is 21 years old and she is studying desing at Univerdad de Chile and Belén is 19 years old and she is studying architecture at the same university.
My hobbies are watching birds (listen to and identify them by sound and sight), and take photographs, but lately this one hasn't be the activity I do the most.
My weaksness in English is mainly the oral part, like talk fluent, because is difficult to me to connect ideas in my head and translate them at the same time I'm speaking, so in this class I hope improve this.

Well, so now you know more about myself, I hope you enjoyed.
See ya.
