Alhué´s Fieldtrip

My Favourite Fieldtrip was the last one. We come to Alhué, 3 hours from Santiago to the southwest. Is a little town called Villa Alhué that has serious problems of pollution, caused by a mining that waste dumps in the river. We went there to investigate the effects of the mining on the environment. Sadly the effects are easily to see, the biodiversity decrease, the beekeeping it is over, and the water in the river is orange in some places.
The fieldtrip was amazing because we entered in private’s properties and we had to stay very quiet if anybody looked the surroundings we had to run very fast to any hideout. But was incredible to discover the orange hidden waste, really really hidden, we had to crossing the river and walk kilometres to find it. And was not the only, others guys find another few kilometres further. Then the teacher brought some appliances to measured electric conductivity, pH, dissolved solids, and with a shovel the guys took samples of sediments in the river. Now we have to analyze the samples in laboratory to show the effects of the mining in this part of the river. The next Field Trip will go to the higher part of the river, further than the withdrawal mining, there, we think, the conditions are the best, without the mining pollution.

Correction - About me and my Family

ABOUT ME AND MY FAMILY
Hi my name is Catalina, I’m 21 years old. I live with my mother and my sister, we live in Santiago since 2005, when I entered the University. Before, we lived in many islands of the Chiloé Archipelago, because my father worked in aquaculture. Now my father is living in Puerto Aysén farther south than Chiloé, and has a new family with Paty, his new wife, and Bastián my little brother, he is 2 years old. My mother is a obstetrician, but while we living in Chiloé she didn´t work because, there had not hospitals, and we were far from the city. But when we arrived to Santiago in 2005, she decided to study again at the University and joined to Catholic University of Chile and studied Nursery. She only studied during two years because the University could approved some subjects from the Obstetrician career. Now she work in the Sótero del Rio Hospital. My sister is 18 years old, and 2008 is the last year at school, and she is deciding what career to study. But she is very confused. I think that, it will be better If she use next year to think and be convinced. About me, I´m studying Geography at University of Chile, and this is my fourth year. I`m very happy with the career and I hope to get the license at the end of the year, and enter to the laboralmarket soon. My hobby today is go out of the city as daily as I can, at the Mountains, rivers, or beach.

Truth * Beauty * Freedom * Love

My favorite film is Moulin Rouge, and I saw it for the first time in 2002, in my Summer Holidays. I saw the film in my aunt´s apartment, eating pizza and drinking coca-cola. I still remember, me and my aunt cried like a baby with the romantic and sad end.

The film is the story of Christian (Ewan McGregor), a handsome, young writer, goes against his father's wishes and moves to Montmartre, Paris. It's the perfect atmosphere for an aspiring young writer who yearns for a freer, more bohemian lifestyle. He meets the artist, Toulouse-Lautrec. Teaming up with the acting troupe living upstairs and headed by Lautrec, Christian meets and falls hard for the featured star of the Moulin Rouge, Satine, “The Sparkling Diamond”. Together with Lautrec's actors, Satine and Christian create "Spectacular, Spectacular", a play that Satine hopes will make her a star. Financing is an issue and Satine's boss, Zidler, pins his hopes on a Duke. The Duke agrees to finance the play, and a renovation of the Moulin Rouge, in exchange for a contract that binds Satine to him. Christian and Satine's love must stay hidden to ensure the play will debut. Their love becomes the main storyline for the play within the movie, and allows Satine and Christian to continue their forbidden relationship under the nose of the Duke.

This film is Spectacular, Spectacular, was the first DVD that I bought. I see it as long as I can.
