Hello everyone! In this last blog I going to tell you about my experience learning English at university.  Personally, I had a bad English background in the past and I find it difficult to relate to other people, which is much worse in English and I forget everything I know. I liked the classes with Miss Lara much more than last semester because I feel the she made sure that we all participated and gave us feedback, I learned a lot more than last semester. It was easier to practice face-to-face with other people and much more dynamic. About blogs, it’s not my favorite part mainly because of the topics to be covered. Personally, it took me longer to think about what to write about than it did to start writing the blog.  As for my English, although I understand when I am spoken to, I'm still not able to string together more than one sentence and worse, to speak it. I have a lot of gaps in content and pronunciation. The latter is what I struggle with the most. I think I should start

Time travel!

 Hello, this new post is about time travel. Personally, I find it fascinating to be able to travel in time, I like time travel movies and all the theories that are raised about these trips. As a child I watched the "Back to the future" saga many times because they are my dad's favorite movies and I was amazed every time they traveled in DeLorean. However, time travel is not something I have thought about until now. As I explained in the previous post, I prefer to live day by day and not think too much about the future or the past. But since we have to write about this, I would say that I would travel back in time to 1876 to meet Brahms and his friend Clara Schumann. I would like to go because he is my favorite composer and it would be interesting to hear his work played by him. Also, to discover the intent of the letters he sent to Clara, a pianist friend with whom he was very close. If I were to travel into the future, I would like to reach a time when I have a stable si

Blog Post 3: My Dream Job

 Hello, in this new post I will tell you about my dream job, do I have it? No. The truth is that I don't like to think about the future and I live day by day. Thinking about the future makes me anxious, so I don't plan anything. I've always thought that I wouldn't like to die old and do something for a long time, it bores me. So no, I don't have an ideal job, I would like to do many things just for the experience, especially learning trades and relating them to what I am studying. I got into anthropology because I like archaeology, so if I get to work in this field, I'm not complaining. But the main reason to work in archaeology is because I am a curious person and I like knowledge. About skills, I think that they are never enough and that they are learned in practice. I don't mind the salary, as long as I can support myself and do what I want in that hypothetical future. I wouldn't like to stay in a fixed place, so I don't need a lot of things to li

Holidays! 🌞

Hello everyone! In this blog I'm going to tell you about my last vacation. I don't usually take vacations because I have always worked in the summer or attended music camps, but this year I did. In January I went back to the south of Chile and visited a friend. I lived in the south before moving to Santiago, so I have a house to get to, but I decided to visit my friend. He lives in Panguipulli, near the lake. I stayed four days at his house. Every day we got up late, cooked and then went to the beach to spend the rest of the day with his family. At night we looked at the stars taking advantage of the clear skies of southern Chile while we talked, one day we saw more than seven shooting stars pass! We didn't do a lot of activities, but it was relaxing to get out of the chaos of Santiago and I got to spend a lot of time with my best friend and that was the best part of the vacation. Then I went to my mom's house, I wanted to keep visiting my friends, but I got coronav

Hi, in  my first blog I going talk about  Italy. Is a very visited country especially cities such as Rome, Venice, Florence, but  I would like to visit especifically by Cremona. because is the cradle city of luthiery and I like fretted stringed instruments. It was the hometown of Antoni Stradivari, a famous violin maker. Also, it was the hometown of Giuseppe Guarneri, other famous violin maker.  Is a city I would like visit luthiere workshops and Museo del Violino. Also, I would like walking through the streets and seeing the architecture. I would like to go to a baroque music concert in a church, because is the best place  for this type of music.

I learned things  as a luthier  apprentice, but I had to leaving, so I would like to maker a violin and I would love to do it in Cremona. 

Subject I like to study

Imagen
Hi everyone, this semester I took an elective subject on principles of sustainability and I liked it a lot. Since I was little I have been interested in the environment and how to contribute to its care and this subject talks about that and how to make the world a more sustainable place. I like it because of the content and because in this semester it was one of the subjects that gave me peace of mind because it was a quiet space. I learned from this subjects basic concepts about ecology and environment. Also about technologies that are based on animal or plant characteristics, such as the waterproofing of lotus flower leaves applied to clothing by emulating its composition to make it waterproof. Another of the things I learned was to identify the environmental problems that threaten the planet and how we can help mitigate them so that the environmental situation is not irreversible. Before entering the subject I didn't have high expectations because I didn't even get to see th

How Can my Major Make the World a Better

 Hello, for me it has always been important when choosing a career the social work or the contribution it can make to society. For this reason, in my former career I participated in community projects teaching music to vulnerable children, who through music broadened their view of the world and gave them tools to develop other skills. When I changed careers, I decided to study anthropology-archaeology because it covers a very broad field of study. The specialty I like, archaeology, although it works with past and present materialities, for example, can contribute to understanding the life and history of a community. Through archaeological discoveries we can learn how our ancestors lived. I would like to be an archaeologist who contributes to understanding society and work directly with people to understand a little more about where we come from, preserving sites that are important to some communities.  Archaeology allows us not to forget our past history and thus to continue advancin
