Post 8: English Language Challenges

Well, yet I am in my second year of university, but this was my very first English course at university. I have to admit that before starting the classes I was nervous because during school I was a good English student, but never the best, so, I had no idea of how it would be taking English classes at university. Lucky for me, I realized very quickly that I was at the ideal level of English for me because during classes I felt that it was not so hard, but not so easy either, it was a nice ambient to improve my English level but not dying in the meantime. About the blogs, I would say that they were an interesting space to learn English, during school in most of my classes we had to do dialogues, and I know that talk to another person is a good way of learning, but blogs are a good way too, I mean, to talk a language is not enough if you are thinking of going to another country to study something, because there you will have to talk, read, and write. So, I believe that blogs were an exce

Post 7: Changes to my study program

- Here you can see a lovely photo of my faculty! Because I am just in the half of my second year of university, I can not talk so much about the changes that I would like to apply to my career, but I will do my best to tell certain things that I have thought about until this moment. First, I have thought that the curriculum generally speaking is fine, except for maybe one or two subjects that I truly believe are bad subjects. In our first semester of the career, we had one subject called: Leer, Escribir y Hablar en las Ciencias Sociales, as you may imagine this subject was meant to be a kind of introduction to university writing, something that could give us some basic knowledge to read and write in this new chapter of our education, well... let's say that basically, this subject was everything less that, it was just a complete mess and a waste of time and resources, if the faculty want to keep with this subject they will need to do something way better than this. Like I said befor

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies

Well, the postgraduate course that I would like to take, or at least the first one that I would like to take it would be the "Master of Archaeology", the reasons to take it are mainly three. First, this Master is available at the university where I am studying right now (University of Chile). The second one is that I know that with this kind of Master, I would choose something to specialize in, but I will have a lot of different options to choose from.  The third one is the working aspect, I know for sure that doing a postgraduate course will help me to get a better job and to have more options of job and better salary too! In terms of the subjects, I still can not say anything, I am just in the second year of my career and I just do not know in what area I would like to specialize in, I believe that is the most important factor to choose the kind of subjects I would like to study in a Master, so, if I do not know in what I want to specialize I have no idea of the subjects. I

Post 5: My Future Job

Well, this is something that I have thought about for a long time. At least in this moment of my life, I imagine my job as an archaeologist as one that combines teaching at a University (hopefully an English one) and investigations, with all the travels that imply that. I would love to have the best of both worlds, which means to be in a nice University and a nice city, and at the same time, or with divided periods (like 6 months in the faculty and 6 in an outdoor place) being travelling to make investigations. So, if I had the chance I probably would not travel so much, but I would do it at least once a year. In terms of the salary, I can not give any numbers, because for me that is not a big deal, whenever the salary allows me to live comfortably and without many preoccupations, I would be more than satisfied.  Right now I am in the second year of the major of Anthropology at the Universidad de Chile, and in the future, I am planning to do a master in Archaeology at the Universidad d

What's like to study Anthropology?

One of my main inspirations to been studying this career. I am a student of Anthropology at the Universidad de Chile in the Social Sciences Faculty. I choose this career because it is the only way to be an Archaeologist in Chile, which is the career that I hope to choose the next year. That said, I choose that career because since I was a little boy I began to felt love for human History, and actually, I considered studying History, but then I realized that according to what I would like to do as a professional I would be happier as an archaeologist rather than a historian. As an archaeologist, I would love to learn about ancient cultures and their material culture, like their building and monuments, for example, I feel particularly interested in British ancient cultures. Study this career online it is been such a weird process, lucky for me, these first two years of the career have not so many "live" experiences, so it is not so terrible to have only online classes, but anyw

Post 3: Let's talk about the pandemic

Due to the coronavirus, many people are struggling with many different problems, problems like the economic crisis, which is affecting common people and big enterprises, causing serious complications for almost everybody, increasing the inequity of our country and in most of the world.  There are also difficulties in terms of mental health because the world situation causes anxiety and fear, especially in those people that live alone or in older persons. Also, teleworking and online classes have not been the best experience for many of us, it is well known that those new kinds of work or study made life more difficult, many people now have problems with organization, sleeping habits, and with their yield in work/classes themselves. Today people had to change most of their lives, the way that we used to work, study, share with others, get out to the street, everything now is completely different. The vast majority of us is now living more connected to the internet and technologies than

Post 2. My best holidays ever

The best holidays I ever had were back in December of 2015, there, my family and I went to the gorgeous city of Buenos Aires. We went there for just 5 days, but we enjoyed every minute of that trip, we beginning our vacations by going to the "Japanese" park and then to the "planetarium", on that day we also walk a little bit in the city and we ate some typical foods. The city impressed us immediately, it was like nothing that we had ever met.  I don't exaggerate with that affirmation, we live in Curicó, a small town in the centre of Chile, and the biggest city that we used to know was Santiago, so be in Buenos Aires was a completely different experience, it is a city with a lot of life during the day and the night, there, you could see all kinds of persons and everybody were very talkative. Also, that was the very first time that our family travelled to another country, so even before the trip we were anxious and excited, I think that these were the main reasons
