Post 8: Summer holidays

My two last summer holidays were very good, I have a goods memories about it. In 2018 I went to South of the country and Argentina, and I did it backpacking with three friends. In this chance  we went over for a lot beautiful places, we started in Puerto Montt, and own final destination was Bariloche. In spite of it, on the way back, we passed for Osorno, Valdivia and finally Temuco, where we take a bus to Santiago. Furthermore, I could say the summer holidays 2019 were dedicated for my friends. First I went with my family and my best friend, Fabian, to algarrobo, and we stayed one week here. We went to beach, and went to dancing, etc. And then me and three friends of the university were travel to San Pedro de Atacama, also one week, and knew a lot of incredible places. Anyway, for the 2020 I want will go to the most extreme south of the country, like Punta Arenas, but I need a partners who accompanies me, because I don´t wanna go a so far place alone, I confess that  s...

English study challenge

The post of today is about my english classes at university, and how are doing my experience.  In my four years in university, only I have had two courses of english. Both of them had been a very nice moments and learned so much. I have admite I a very bad in the english things, I mean, I’m very slow for understand english, and speak in this language is very difficult for me, because in my school never have a decent class about it, and the true is that english never was one of my favorites subjects. In spite of it, with the years I realized that is very important in the life, most of all in my career, because the vast majority of the works and investigations about archaeology are writing in english language, this if I don’t think in the increase of possibilities to after doing a PhD or another type of study in another country. My english classes in this semester was very important for me, because in spite of are so early, two days in the week, I feel comfortable; I didn't feel...

Changes to my study program

Today I’m going to tell you about my career and their study program. I'm study Anthropology with mention in Archaeology, since four years ago. This career has a extensive trajectory in the University of Chile, but in spite of everything, if I could, will change a lot of things. In first place, about subjects, the university of Chile is very traditionalist and classical for their contents, and very close to the academy word, because of it, ignore in great degree the new waves about archaeology, and in most of the cases they brings to the discipline news perspectives and the possibility of self- criticism vision to the classicals waves about a critical position with the present time, like archaeology of present . In second place, a great problem is the infrastructure, because the enrolment it’s so upper in relation to establishment installations. Examples of this situations are the unavailability of classrooms or the existence of only one little laboratory for more than 150 stude...

Gratuitous Picture of Myself

This is one of my favorites pictures, was capture the past summer, in March. Here we are me and my friends of the university, in San Pedro de Atacama made Korean hearts in the middle of the road. This photograph was take it the past holidays in March of this year and always remember the goods moments about these time. In this time I see the picture and the only that I want is be here, without stress about anything, enjoyed the sun, and  going to a lot of new places. Oh my got, I miss there place so much. In San Pedro de Atacama the weather is desert-like, and has a lot of adversity relative to water,  long distances and the highest light of the sun, for that reasons the desert is not the great interest for all of people. But I should admit that I love it, the desert have something, really I don't know what exactly, but this capture to you, and then you don't want leave the place. Maybe it’s the story or the culture that give it something unbelievable like the Andina’s ...

Postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future.

Today I going to talk about a postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future. Such as commented in the last blog, I would like taking some kind of course about archaeology of present or “archaeology of us” as it named in english. My goal is work it  around the topic of humans rights in my future. This is because I feel that archeology have to social role that not being take advantage of up to now, and be very necessary in the investigations process, because across the material culture and their remainders oan be possible study the “silent areas”, like disappear persons cases in military dictatorships. If I had to choose a place with study this topic, I believe that I would like do it in  Spain, maybe, because in this country the topic are very development because they had to work around the Franco’s dictatorship, or Germany. And maybe would be a part-time course, because that way  I could work and subsidize my studies. Also I would like apply th...

My future job

Since I was a little girl, always know that my dreamy job had to be outdoor, and the opportunity that I could travel a lot, hopefully fara away to Santiago, because this city I'm bored and have a lot pollution. I think that reasons adjust very well to the archaeological job, and this is one of the reasons to study these career. Respect to salary, will be wonderful that be going to do big and generous hahaha, but be content with a salary that be enough to live and permit me have my renting. Also be perfect that job pay me the travel allowance. I think that my dreamy job also have to be a place where I will feel so comfortable, specially with the people who work with me, my work team. For other hand, hope that with my job be able to help other people and have a important social role. For these reason I would like make a major about  "the archaeology about us" or present archaeology f...

Post 3: "The most embarrassing thing I am willing to admit"

Today I’m going to tell you about the most embarrassing thing I am willing to admit. I should admit that in all my life I have had a lot of embarrassing experiences, especially when I was a little girl. When I was six years old I felt a very mature person, because this year, in the school I was proceed to the primary playground. One day I was in the classroom and the teacher said that that the nurse of the school was going to vaccinated us. I remember that I'm scared very much, and with my best friend went to the bathroom for be hidden and don´t be vaccinated. We get inside to the bathroom stall and got up to the WC  for the teacher don´t seen ours foots. Meanwhile when I treated get comfortable, one of my foots fall dawn into the WC, and got wet until the ankle. Then, the teacher met us, and I felt so much embarrassment., because all my friends that knew the history, laughed at me, as well as  I had to go to kindergarten for lend pants and socks. Now I remember this...

I want a vacations please!

Today I am going to tell you about a country I’d like to visit.  I should accept that I love the cold and rainy days, but recently I have thinking a lot about a tropical place, with warm water, white sand, and a tropical forest to go and explore. I think that, maybe, the country that I'd like to visit too soon is Mexico, and more precisely, in Riviera Maya, because these place have everything that I need in this moment of my life. As well as ago two years I went here and in addition of fall in love to these place, don’t was enough to know every amazings things. In the first time I will go to the archaeological sites like Coba and Tulum, because have a lot of history, and is very close to my career. After of this, I’d like to go to scuba dive in Playa del Carmen and see a coral reef. This country have a lot of thing  to make, and for this reason I’m thinking that when I go, I will stay at least three weeks.

My favorite concert

One of things that I like do is go to concerts. I have went to many concerts in my life, about differents styles, but my favorite I think that I have Café Tacuba concert in May 2017. This concert was a part of a festival with others bands, organized by “Fonda permanente”. I have a lot of good memories about this moment. It was a long day, because me and my friends arrived to “Club Hípico”, the place where carry out the festival, so early, around of twelve o´clock, and Café Tacuba play in the afternoon, at nine o´clock. Was a great experience with important people for me, and even though today not speak very much with this persons I have a beautiful memories about this day. This year, before I know about the existence of this concert I falled in love of an Cafe Tacuba´s album called “Re”, and the day of the concert they played most of the songs that belong it, and obviously I sang all of it.
