English Program

Imagen
Hello everyone, I am going to talk about this English course. Incredible as time goes by my people, we are already on the last blog, a shame considering that the blogs were quite entertaining XD. My experience learning english at the university, uh, mmm ... I honestly expected English classes in a classroom and not from a computer at home. Despite that, it was pretty cool to read different texts and listen to different videos. But the best without a doubt are the blogs, aaaaa, they are very good. People always made very good and entertaining blogs and there was also a very good dynamic in the comments, saying nice things, except for Bastián González who insulted me in one (fake), what a bad person! So, thank you all very much, except Bastián González. Mmm, about my English, I think I need to improve my fluency when speaking. I feel like I have a decent ability to hear and understand english, but when it comes to speaking bruh. I could improve my English speaking with my friends by ...

Music

Imagen
Hi everyone, today I am going to tell you about my musical tastes. Mmm I think I can say that I listen to a lot of music and from different genres, but I think what I listen to most is New Wave and Shoegaze. Both are genres born in the 80s and use elements such as guitars and synthesizers, although the Shoegaze uses more effects such as reverb and echoes.  My favorite artists are The Cure, Slowdive, and Kate Bush. I really like The Cure because it has both happy and sad songs, so it adapts to every mood jejeje; Slowdive is sad all the time but it's kind of atmospheric and deep and Kate Bush is a very relaxed somewhat experimental pop. I don't know if I have a favorite album, but these days I have listened a lot to Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, from 1985. I really like it because one half of the album has a very 80s pop sound and the other half tells the story of a woman that is lost in the sea. The song that starts the album, Running Up That Hill, that talks about a couple ...

Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about a postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future. I would like to study a Master in Sociocultural Anthropology in the University of Chile (at least that I saw interesting on the FACSO page). I think this Magister can be interesting because within the subjects there are topics related to ethnography, ethnicity and the study of processes of social change. I think it is good to learn new things if there are opportunities to do it. So, if I have the possibility to do this magister or something similar it would be very nice hehehe. Although the studies I said before are in Chile, I do not rule out the possibility of studying abroad. I think that in the case of studying abroad, one could learn different approaches to anthropology. It would be good to study in the United States because they say they have good universities there. If I do these studies, I think I would study an evening course so that I could work and earn some money to...

My Future Job

Imagen
Hi, today I’m going to talk about my future job. Well, I’m studying anthropology (I’m in second year) and I plan to go for the Social mention, so I would like to work on something related to the marginal neighborhoods like ethnographies or things like that. I don't know if being a social anthropologist is really what I'm looking for, but I think it's the option that interests me the most.  But I think it would be difficult for me to do the ethnographies because I am somewhat shy, but I hope to do my best. If I work in marginal neighborhoods, I think I would be working primarily on site rather than an office, but I guess I will write my ideas and observations indoors.  Also, I would like to travel to another country for my job, as long as I feel that my work can help people. About the salary mmm… I saw in the internet that in the first year of job an anthropologist earns 758.398 pesos, I mean, it could be more, but I fine with it.  I don't know what else to write hehehe...

Favourite Movie/Series

Imagen
Hi classmates, today I’m going to talk about my favourite film, Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back. It was released in May 17, 1980 and directed by Irvin Kershner, based on the universe created by George Lucas. Although is the fifth movie in the saga, it was the second to be released. This is my favourite movie because I have been very fond of it since childhood, in addition to delving more into concepts such as the force and darkness (that are very important for the entire saga). This movie is a science- fiction one that continues the journey of Luke and Leia Skywalker and Han Solo, who fight against the forces of the Empire, controlled by Darth Vader and Darth Sidious. I think my favourite character is Luke (wow so original), because in this movie he faces the darkness and learns more about the importance of the force in the universe. Also, it’s kinda cool that the heroes lose with serious consequences (rip hand), because in this type of actions movies very often the heroes win. ...

My Bloody Quarantine

Imagen
Well folks, today I’m going to about my quarantine. I’ve been in voluntary quarantine since the middle of March. Although I really don’t know how long I’ve been in mandatory quarantine (I live in Pudahuel). My daily routine is waking up in the morning, cooking at noon, connecting to classes (ufff), study and at night I do a little exercise. This routine tire me a lot because of the stress that being locked up causes me every day. But, when I have free time, I usually play guitar and keyboards, listen to music, read novels, write poems and play videogames with my friends. The bad thing is that I only have some free time at night so doing these activities makes a lot of noise (except reading novels and poems of course jeje). With my friends I have no problems communicating remotely but with my family yes, especially with my grandparents. With my friends we use platforms like Zoom or Discord to talk about how we are or what we do. But with my grandparents, uncles and cousins we use WhatsA...

The Best Vacation

Imagen
Hi, I am going to talk about the best vacation I ever had. This was on February 2018. I was in El Tabo, Litoral Central, near the beach. I’ve been to the beach before, but I’ve never like it. At the beginning I was going to go for 4 days with my friends, but finally we went for a whole week. We stayed at a friend’s house, which was quite big and nice. When we got to El Tabo we made noodles because we were very hungry. And in the night, we started drinking beers. The problem with that is that we never stop drinking alcohol, so we were drunk for all 7 days. We swam drunk, we wandered drunk and we ate drunk. Also, we went to parties that were set up on the beach. They started at night and ended in the early morning. One day we passed by and woke up on the beach totally disoriented. I think this is the best vacation because the moments lived were very funny and emotional for me and my friends. In fact, a friend suffered an ethyl coma and we were very scary at the moment, but now we remembe...
