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 before, I am just in the second year of university, and if you have lived on the planet Earth these last years, you will know that we are just in the middle (or the beginning?) of a pandemic... What I am trying to say is that I do not know my faculty (online classes yeaaah), so please, do not ask me anything about that because I do not want to feel depressed.

The use of tech? Well, I do not know what to say, because of the online classes I have been using a lot of technology lately but I am not pretty sure if that is something too related to my career, nevermind, that takes us to another point: teaching methods until now I have met only one teaching method "Zoom"... What more I can say? That it sucks?

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...

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...

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...
