Hello world! This time I will talk about travel. I love to travel, I don’t do it too much, but when I do it I really have some good times, I travel mostly on summer vacations like in three or four occasions every year. If I’m frank, maybe I dislike a little bit all the process of preparations to travel, but that discomfort does not compare to the joy that I have spending time with my family and friends. When I go to the south to my family’s house sometimes my friend Daniel go with me and we spend most of our time exploring or doing things that we are not capable to do in the city. Also, my friend Pipe invites me to his family’s house in Cobquecura, that place is amazing, it’s beautiful and still has the old village life style, and that is something my friend Pipe loves the most about his home. And at last, the travel that is a tradition, going to the house of the grandmother of my friend Peko in his car with my friends Pipe, Matias and Lientur. We prepare a CD to listen to in the car and when we get there we have very long “Monopoly” sessions. I hope I can travel this summer I’m not sure if that will be possible, but if it is, I want to travel with my family or my friends and that means to travel in Chile.

Hello world. Today’s topic is a little deeper. With only four months to the end of the year it’s a good time to make some reflections of some stuff that I have been through it. After a long year of waiting I was finally accepted in my dream’s career in my dream’s university. I couldn’t believe it; my life was moving forward to what I dreamed the most! Those times were wonderful, but nobody said it was going to be easy, the first big problem came when I didn’t receive the monetary benefits to study at the university, for some reason the system believes that my family can afford to pay a complete university career! Fortunately, I got the “Crédito con Aval del Estado” and with that the problem was a little less problematic. Right now, I’m not so happy about my grades this semester, it has been rough to keep the rhythm to the subjects. So far, I have not made any big achievements, but I look to the future with hope, this hasn’t been the happiest year for me or anything near to that, but I will make my best effort to make it a good year and if that is not possible I will continue until I have reached my dreams.

Hello world! This time is the turn of a subject that I enjoyed during the semester. That’s difficult! But if I must choose, Introduction to Calculus is the one. Usually in classes we have our professor explaining mathematical concepts in the whiteboard, defining some others and doing some exercises so we can apply what we have been learning. In this subject we learn mostly about functions and how to they behave in different contexts, and we see a lot of functions, like the quadratic function, the logarithmic function or the exponential function. At first it may not seem like a very entertaining subject to study, I mean, it’s math’s! How math’s can be enjoyable!? But when you go deeper into the concepts and other stuff you get to know some very strange facts about mathematics that are not simple to the eye, for example the limit of a function. The limit is something so strange and confusing but in an almost magical way it works fine and with that we can do things that were impossible to do, like dividing by zero! Those things make me enjoy the subject and make me wait for more of this crazy stuff in the future.

Hello world, Victor here! today i will talk about memes. I love memes, I love browsing memes on Facebook, send memes to my friends in WhatsApp and watch memes on YouTube.
My favourites memes are the "The Simpsons" related memes, even so that I'm in a Facebook group called "Simpsons Shitposting" in wich fans from all over the world gather and make and share Simpsons memes (I made the the one that you are seeing there), but the ones that I really like is the "Steamed Hams", where an iconic scene of principal Skinner inviting his boss to a lunch is edited making it double funny. Here is an example.https://youtu.be/8rQNils2Pko
The memes that I don't like are the "grasosos" memes, in this memes people use mexican slang and the emotes ":v" and "xdxdxdxd", they are sooo boring.
I think memes are popular because memes are a way to express yourself in a funny way that you can share with ypur friends and because there are memes for everyone, there are normal memes, literature memes, science memes, animals memes and even surrealist memes! (https://youtu.be/kP45oOLCmHw) and having memes for everyone means that are people who shares the same tastes that you and that make you feel part of a group, and that awesome!

Hi everybody! Today I will talk about the great Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger or Erwin Schrödinger for short. He was born in Vienna in 1887, he ingresed to the Vienna University in 1906 where he achieve the best calification possible, between 1914 and 1918 he participated in the WWI. After a long and successful career he share the Nobel prize with Paul Dirac for his contributions of the progress of quantum mechanics.

He is more known for his famous equation, the Schrödinger equation, that is one of the most important in physics and is so confusing that he and Albert Einstein had to make the “Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment” to explain it. His contributions in quantum mechanics are very important in chemistry because they help us learn more about the matter and how the atoms interact with each other on very unique ways.

I admire him because his ideas were really impressive and make us see the world on a way that is very strange and unknown but also very poetic. He truly inspires me to be a better scientist!.
