Post 10: English Lenguage Challenges

First I really don’t know how I could approve the first and second level with the test that you have to do when come into to university, because I always was bad in English in the school, It was a big surprise to me jjajja I am really grateful.  When I was in school all my friends love English, they watch many series or movies from United stated and listen only music in English, for that they understand very good and speak English fluently. I always love much the Latin-American music and I watch the movies with subtitle, for that I behind on my friends in this language.

This last three years I learn to read and listen much better to English, because I had have read for the university text in this language and also I had learn in third and fourth level to English. In this last two levels although I learn to understand English so much, I still it costs to me speak and write in other language, even it costs to me express me in Spanish! jajaja. I think the use of blog can help a little to learn to express in English but is not enough for really learn a new language. One can’t learn other idiom with only one class to week if the rest of these never use it.

Now I don’t interested travel to one country with speak English, I don’t have friends from Canada, USA or England, and I reed principally American Latin author in Anthropology, for all this I really don’t important speak totally good English. I know is important learn English because now is the language for communicate inter country, but I am happy with understand in general.

Well, this is the last post so… you have a great year!

Post 9: Changes to my study programme

Well the career that I study is anthropology and it really has disappointed me a lot, at the University of Chile. I think a lot of things are missing for change to be a really good race. To begin, the first two years of common plan I think they are unnecessary, with one already enough, besides that these first two years all classes are in the rooms of 100 people, and in this classroom are from only you can do classes where the teacher speaks 3 hours. I also think that is really necessary more course of gender, there is only one in the third year and it is optional. I also believe that more Latin American anthropologists and women should be included in the bibliography of the courses, with 80% being European men.

In the race are missing more field trips, the theory is necessary but 4 years just reading you will not learn anything new. It is in field practice that I have really learned more, in contact with people, not locked in the classroom. Although we have three courses with field trips this is very little for the training of anthropologist.

On the other hand I think that the main problem that anthropology has is the teachers. Not all teachers are bad, but there are some who really dont know anything and only invent the class without really knowing what they are talking about. It is necessary a true evaluation of the teachers and contract new for the next year.

Well that's what I would change Anthropology-

Post 7: My favorite TV show

Well when I was a child I watched TV very much, many shows do for kids, but now I don’t like me turn on the TV, never find good shows or movies and the news always report only lies. Although in the actually I watch shows and movies but I search in internet, is in there where I watch many films and also someone series.  I don’t like very much the US series, even if exist very good series make in United Stated I prefer watch the other countries like anime series for Japan or ancient Chilean soap opera.

I don’t be a fan to anime series, but the best show that I had watch is one of this called Full Metal Alchemist. This series is set in a fictional word, similar to the context after industrial revolution, where many people who can use the alchemy, give us much power.  It is about two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who are very good alchemist to steel. They want recover his body than lose after when they were littler try to revive his mother with alchemy, but this went wrong and one of them lose all his body, finish with a armor how body, and the other lose one leg and one arm. For that they have to look for the entire world the philosopher’s stone, with this they believe can recover his body, but they don’t know what is done the stone…

Well, I recommend very much this anime, although if you don’t like anime.

Post 6: Postgraduate studies

Hello everybody, today I come to talk about the postgraduate studies.

Well, Nowadays I only think in finishing the career of anthropology, I really don’t want to do postgraduate studies in the future, because I think that aren’t necessary if I don’t work in academic work. Although, I think many times studying another career when I had finished this, I might study pedagogic or geography, but studying another career means being in a university five years more and I have to pay all tuition, because there is not scholarship for second career.

Despite this, now I come to search which postgraduate I would do, and I find something interesting. If I decide to study a postgraduate I will try not to do it in Chile, otherwise I will try to go to other country in South America and make a distance learning, preferably in Brazil or Mexico, because in these countries is where the anthropology has developed more. I am really interesting in Mexico National University Autonomous, I can try to study a master’s in “Education and Intercultural Anthropology”. This master studies the process of education in context of cultural diversity, as also unequal and discrimination context related to persons with disability. Unfortunately I don’t think that I can do this master in the future, because in addition I will have to pay all my stay in Mexico, and I see very difficult to be able to do this. 

Post 4: Someone I would like to meet

Hello! today I come to speak of a beautiful person that i like to meet. This person isn’t being a famous, but I think that in the future she will be the really famous women.  The first time that I see her was in a class to “mapuche ethngology”, class that I took this semester. She is called Charlotte Andersen; she is an exchange student from Zurich, Switzerland. Also being a woman with a very good style of dress and very nice face, a friend of mine told me that she told him that she was a dancer and music of different musical styles. She traveled three years ago through many European countries and fell in love with Andalusia in Spain, where she stayed for a complete year where she learned to play and dance flamenco. After that she traveled to other countries playing in a flamenco group which she joined, this one was called "Las flamencas". While traveling, she meet many other musical styles and learned to play them. Now her idea was to finish the semester traveling through Latin America learning new instruments and rhythms. I love music and I would like to learn new musical rhythms so I want to know Charlotte a lot, but I do not know how to talk to her.

Post 5: My future job

The future always is uncertain so is really difficult to me imagine in only one job. When I was a child I wanted work in many professions in the future, I wanted be a veterinarian, because I love the dogs, a teacher or also to be a delivery woman to gas. I really don’t know why I finished get in to study anthropology and now here I am jaja.

I always interested to me the education, but since I have scenic panic I wasn’t study pedagogy,   for that I want working in the future in this area and participate in various educative projects. I really hate I will working in an office, is a enslave work when you don’t share with other people and you enclosed behind a computer. My dream is working in a job where I have to travel so much and the work be in a group, which always share with people.

Despite this, my true dream actually is in the future, work like craftswoman, I love to do different art with my hands. When I am alone in my house I like so much began to painting, do things in wood or do ceramic birds. If I work to this in the future I was really happy, my problem is I a very bad businesswoman for that is very difficult to me sell the things that I do.

Well, I hope I will work in some job that makes me happy.

Post 3: my favorite movie

I think that it is difficult for someone to have only one favorite movie in all their lives, I believe that your interests always change. For that I am going to talk about the last movie that I liked so much, it is called "O menino e O mundo". This is an animation movie produced in Brasil the year 2013 directed by Ale Abreu, and it is about the life story of a little child that lived in middle of the field in a little country and got out for his home to the city to try to find his father, that went to work to the city and never came back.

I love this movie for different things. In a way for the type of animation (I have always liked the animation in general, when I was a child I wanted to study animation digital) that is very special because it combines all senses like synesthesia. The whole movie  has only sounds and music, you never listen to a conversation, this is very positive because I can watch it with my cousin who is deaf. Furthermore I like it so much the plot of the movie, is a social criticism  to capitalism and the consequences of progress in the life of  most of the persons in "third world".
This is a very beautiful movie, I recommend it to anyone to watch it!

Post 2: The best concert

Well, I love music, usually I am listening music almost all day, for that I try going to most of the gigs but the problem is the expensive of the ticket in the most of them. For lucky I listening principally music in Spanish and especially Chilean music, and this concerts are cheaper than the concert of foreigner artist, in special in English. Also, I don't like very much the big concert, I prefer the little gigs because in the bigs have many people and the artist don't connect with the public, for that i always search gigs in places more secrets.

Is very difficult choose one concert or gig because there many that come to my head, but now i remember one that I go the first semester that I fun very much. In this gig play "la floripondio", "sandino rockets" and "Fiscales ad hok" and I went with two friends of me. This gig was in recoleta in a place called “espacio recoleta”. I like much this concert because we can dance, listen and jump all the night, release all stress that we have because the end of the semester.

I rely want go soon to other concert, I want dance all night.

Post 1 I want to visit Ecuador

It is very difficult choose one country I want visit, If I had a lot of  money I would travel for many places of all the world. But I have always dreamed about going to visit Ecuador. I don't know anything about the history or life in Ecuador and I haven't met any person who had lived in there, but a friend of mine go the last year. She told my that Ecuador have variety of areas geographic and different climates, in the 283 561 km² you can find jungle, mountains and coast. I surprise my that don't exist the spring and autumn, only summer and winter, for this reason I don't wanted live the rest or my life in there.

Also, I want to visit Ecuador because I love the music and art of there, i want learn play "requinto", a instrument of string very similar to guitar. Other place when i am going is the Gayasamin's house, he was a artist that painted many pictures about the injustice in Latin America.

I hope some day can visit the beautiful country.
