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 anyway, be at my home all day is boring, and very often I feel that online classes are more overwhelming that physical classes because is like having more time to do all that my homework but at the same time to have so much time have made me procrastinate more than ever. I hope this end soon!

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 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

England, the place for me

Since I was a little boy, I accidentally began to fell in love with England, the very first sign was my love for " The Beatles ", it was the first time that I felt so much passion for a musical group and for music in general, there was something hypnotizing in them which still today I can't explain, but what remains in me was the knowledge about all his history, history in which England is obviously an important part, and is because of that I started to dream about going to that country. But my path to the British culture didn't stop there, as a kid I also consume some important tv shows from that country, shows such as " Doctor Who ", which was probably the very first tv show I obsessed with. Later on, I remember I discovered " Mr Bean ", and " Sherlock" (the BBC series) which were very influential programs for me because they marked me and forged a big part of my personality, such as my kind of humour, or my perceptive and sceptical way
