English language challenges

Well I didn´t planned having english in university the first semester and when i knew i was going to have classes of english i was pretty mad because it though it was going to be a "waste" of time and that was going to be just like school, but no. First of all, the teacher was totally different (in a good way) and the dynamic of the class was great too, i liked the idea of making blogs and videos because i learnt how to express new ideas and to improve my written and oral english. The blog particularly helped me for notting my common mistakes, like i always forget to writte the verbs in past. I realized i really need to expand my vocabulary and familiarizing more with the lenguage, so i plan to read more things in english, like novels or pappers related with my career. I also going to start watching programs, series and stuff without subtitles or with english subtitles, also, i will try to think in english more often and to find persons who i can speak with in english for pr...

My future job

I don’ like to talk about my future job because I recently started my career and I’m still learning all the things I can do and the topics I can treat. In difference with other people I don’t know yet what things an anthropologist does, I know in which places they work it’s just that I’m not sure about what they do exactly, but I’m not worry about it and I’ll think about my work when I be finishing the career, in a long time from now. Ok so have said that, I’m gonna talk about a utopian job, which is: being a videogames youtuber. It´s the perfect job ever. I mean youtubers –the successful ones- earn  money thanks to their videos, there are some who get games and consoles for free because the brands give it to them for promotion. It has the bad side too, because It´s not a stable job and actually people don´t consider it as a job so I wouldn´t be recognize as a real worker and I also wouldn't have a stable salary, but is definitely better than waking up every morning at 6 am and go ...

Place I want to visit

I think all people loves traveling around the world, or for being more specific, would like to, because we have to be honest, not everybody have the resources or time for doing it. I take myself as an example, I would love sepending my life travelling but i just can´t. However, that doesn't mean I won't do it. On my list of countries for visit, i think the one I can´t miss is England. I love history and england is full of castles, churches and other places from middle ages that I want to visit. Including those typical places like the big ben, London eye and the stonehenge, which i've been looking all my life in pictures so i need to see it in real life. If I go to england, I'll definitly try going to Scotland and Ireland, this countries have always called my atention. Hope someday I could go, I need money for it, thats the only problem, but it isn't imposible.

Winter Holidays

It´s the moment of the year I most expect, even more than summer holidays because I hate summer and in winter I have the perfect excuse for being in my house all day and all night: there is too much cold outside. My favorite activity in winter holidays is to start a new videogame and watching series, anime or movies, It’s great too because I always stay alone in my house and nobody bothers me. My winter holidays are kind of sacred because they are too short so I try doing the things I most like to, that’s why I don't go to parties and I barely go out with my friends. For this winter holidays I will sleep a lot and I will forget about the real world a while so I can finally relax. I also will visit my sister for playing with the ps4 in her house so I can start the game "Uncharted 4" which I wanted to play since a long time ago. I will keep watching "House of cards" and I want to start a new book my grandma lent me, also I'll watch some of the movies in my wa...

Changes to my study program

When I enter to the career i did it because i liked all the things it had to offer, but i was clear that there were things I wouldn´t like, after all not everything is perfect and the university of chile has a lot of fails. First of all, i would change the faculty infrastructure; i mean there is actually no place for sitting that had trees and where you can relax a while. I also would change my library, it’s too small and i don't like it doesn't have bookcases. Talking about the curriculum, i think is fine, i was fascinate the first time i read it, i didn't like biology but i understand that people who want physical anthropology likes it, the only "bad" thing is there hadn't been any modifications to the program since years, that situation changes the next year but they are deleting the subject of latinamerican social history and i think is a terrible idea. About the workload, i don't have any complains, I have plenty of time for doing my work the thing i...

Picture of myself

                                                                                                             "chillax skinny girl" Well, I don´t appear in this picture but I take the credit about it... It results there was a boy (we're going to call him Jesus)  in my school who used to flirt with me, he was a year younger so i didn´t care about him but i still joked with him. Once we were playing around with a friend (the girl in the picture) and we had a balloon with heart shape from a friend that was celebrating his anniversary with his girlfriend (the boy in the picture) and we gave the balloon to Jesus. The thing is he had a girlfriend (I didn´t knew) and a friend of Jesus told her about the balloon and sh...

Obsession

I don´t consider myself a person with obsessions, at least not excessively, so i tried very hard in finding one and I remembered I have this tiny obsession with my hand nails, now on this days it´s not so much, but it was a moment when i was really into it. First of all i hated the people who bited their nails, now i don´t matter about it because i tried to change but it used to be a problem. I also got obssesed with taking care of my nails and doing nail art, I actually became really good at it and i couldn´t be without nail polish,every weekend I made one different design and i used to expend almost five hours -aprox- in this activity. I had -and i still have- like  thirty different tones of nail polish, lots of painting brushes and tools for my desings, it was really fun by the way but when I started to have too much responsabilities and I preferred not to expend my time in this because there were more important things to do. But in a special ocassion a nail design doesn't make ...

My favourite concert

It's so hard to chose a favorite concert because every concert I attended was amazing, but I think the most special for me was the concert of Florence and the machine in Lollapalooza 2016, it was amazing because I wanted to see Florence since a long time ago, I was a huge fan of her and I had the lucky of being close of the stage, I almost cried when i saw her so close of me. The best part was I didn´t knew I was going until the same day of the concert, I was not going because I did not have money for a ticket, lollapalooza is too expensive and I accepted I would have to watch it from my computer. I was pretty sad, but then a miracle came from the sky and a classmate told me I was selling two tickets for less than the original price, I did not think it twice and I bought them. I swear I sang every song in the concert, and not just from Florence but also from Alabama Shakes and Noel Gallagher, it was one of the best days I've had.

Postgraduate studies

I´m gonna make this post considering I will finish my studies. Well, until the moment i wanna follow the area of social anthropology, according to that, i would like to continue my studies making some curses or a master's degree of topics I'm interest in, like etnicity, gender studies or inmigration, i'd like to make this it in the university of Chile, but if i had an oportunity of going abroad, i would take it. Asuming I make this things in Chile, and i want to keep studying and i have the oportunity of doing it, I would like going abroad to make a phd or something, maybe to England, USA, Canada, Australia, or others, but I would prefer an english-speaking country because it would be easier for me the lenguage, I mean, what an amazing thing going to Germany but i know nothing of german, so i'd prefer specializing more in a lenguage i already manage a bit than learning one from cero. I don´t really know yet which subjects i want to follow because I'm still learning ...
