BLOG 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi everyone!!! Learning English has been stressful but much more fun than in school. The whole problem of connectivity made it difficult to learn, but I'm happy that the lessons were from stories and interviews (I really hated the grammar) I find the blog interesting, writing something from experiences is much easier, but it was difficult for me sometimes because I forgot to do it (or I thought I had done it) I think having classes where we can see each other should be much better, zoom will never compare to talking face to face. I can listen and I can read, but speaking in english is something else. Sorry :/ Listening to music or watching movies in English has helped me begin to understand words, how they are pronounced or some phrases. But in a day to day I only use my knowledge of English for music (I need subtitles for movies and TV shows hahaha). I'm sure that the more I expose myself to english, the more I'll learn... I only have doubts with written, I feel that there...

BLOG 7: Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hi everyone! It's difficult to think about changing my study program, because I think that the most important thing in my career is to completely separate the mentions (make it 3 different careers). I believe that archeology, physical anthropology and social anthropology need all the years of career to be able to deliver all the tools and the base knowledge. Just specialization is not enough. I'm interested in social anthropology and that is why I believe that there should be more courses that contain more subjects and that I should not have to choose just one among them. Current topics should be delivered every year, always updating. I don't know what to say about the teaching method or the workload as I have only experienced the online classes 😓 But I do know that studying for five years is a lot. Especially since no one finishes their studies within that time. The race becomes very very, very long. The infrastructure must change! The warehouses should be renovated again...

BLOG 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
Hi everyone! If I could go to the future, I would like to go hundreds of years into it, something like the year 3000. I would like to go to the Antarctica, I think the Earth and humanity would have changed a lot. In there I think I could find what happened with Earth. It would be great to see how it changed, if the glaciers still exist and if humanity survived and solved the climate crisis. I would like to go at night to see the sky, to see if there is more or less light pollution. What I would like to do the most is to see the moon! The moon is gradually moving away from the earth and one day it will go away. Perhaps in the year 3000 it will no longer exist and everything would be different, like the sea. I think humans would not matter that much to me, I would not understand their speech and I would not be able to speak to them. They would have a city in Antarctica, it would be interesting to walk through it and admire its architecture. I am very excited to see the changes that will ...

BLOG 5: My future job

Imagen
Hi everybody! I'm not really sure what job I want to have, but I do know that I don't want anything to do in an office with such a rigid schedule (I'd hate something like that!). I've not taken the mention yet, but I've already decided that I will be a social anthropologist and, from what they have shown us, it's a career that has a lot of work field and is quite flexible about how to practice. I imagine working on something more dynamic, where I have to move a lot and talk to lots of different people. Not necessarily traveling that much, but I imagine that I would travel to one place and stay there or in a short period of time I would be traveling. Anyway, inside or outside, I don't care. Of course I would like to have a good salary! But it may not be possible if I work in something from government, I would aspire to earn a lot, but I would not mind if it was lower and that I consider consistent with the work I do The truth is that I can't imagine my fu...

BLOG 4: Post-Graduate Studies

Imagen
Hi everyone! Ever since I entered university I've thought about doing a postgraduate studies. I feel that it is important to me, because my career deals with many topics and doesn't go fully in depth. I'm not sure where to apply, because I'm not sure what degree I would have hahaha I am very interested in doing a master in human rights and Europe seems to have many places for it, but it's important to know the language! Usually the course is taught in English, but the best thing will always be to be able to speak the native language of the country. Latin America also has some master, but they have a focus on migration and ethnicity... And I think that human rights are more than that If not, I would like to do a master in gender. Europe and North America have many universities that see this issue from feminism and/or from identities. Anyways, I think they are issues that are linked! And from now until I finish my career, it's likely that these subjects that inter...

BLOG 3: TV Series

Imagen
Hi everyone! I'm not very good at keeping up with TV series... Sometimes I get too obsessed and I binge watch a certain show with many seasons in just a few days, but sometimes I watch until the middle and I completely forget about it until months later hahaha 😅 That's why I have a lot of shows on my list! I really like Netflix, it has so much content and its always finished. But I also use illegal streaming platforms when they aren't on Netflix (especially when they are from HBO, Disney or are animes and doramas). The last show I watched was Squid Game, but I have many of other shows on my list like Game of Thrones (sadly I'm only at season three) I don't usually rewatch shows, but I do watch twice or more episodes of Black Mirror! There is another show which has the same themes called Love, Death & Robots. Every episode is an animated short made by different artists, first season has a lot of interesting animated stories! I recommend it. I know about series t...

BLOG 2: The best vacation ever

Imagen
Hi everyone! I talk about my best vacations... It were in the winter of 2019. I went to Punta de Tralca for 4 days with my friends. I had a lot fun and had time to relax, that's why it's my best vacation! Punta de Tralca is a great place, it's close to bigger beaches and the place is calm. There is also a peninsula that has a place called "Roca  del trueno" because the sound made by the waves breaking on the rocks is similar to the sound of thunder ⚡ On the other side is another beach, but it's not suitable for swimming, it has many rocks and few people go there, however you can sit and listen and admire the sea. In my vacations we visited that beach but didn't swim, in winter it's not fun to swim in cold water 😔 Every night we had a party. One day we went to a town near where we stayed and the others days we passed time on the beach or walked on the rocks I ate french fries every day hahaha See you next post! <3
