The experience of the blog activity!

Hello classmates! As this is my last blog entry, today I'm going to write about how was this experience for me. At first, when we started classes, I was not convinced I liked the idea of making a blog because I never had one, and I thought it was very difficult and you needed to know a lot of technology.

After creating my blog, I realized that was not so difficult and I could decorate and add friends and was much more entertaining than I imagined. By the time we started writing, it was difficult to choose the topic that I was going to write because every thing that I published, the things I had written and expressed on the blog may be read by anyone and anywhere in the world. As the course progressed I started to like the idea because it allowed me more to learn, and to practice English in a way I have never done. I'm not very good at writting in English, I prefer to listen or read. I feel that I don't have a lot of vocabulary, therefore, the blog helped me a lot to expand my vocabulary for words that I didn't know. Although I do not deny that the schedule of classes when we were writting the blogs was horrible, and many times I didn't like the topics that we were given, also, it happens that you are not inspired and you have to write, you are obliged to write and sometimes even issues that you are not so interested, then maybe something good for future courses, it would be to assign a number of blogs to be written and make it as a homework, so that each one could make it at their own rhythm.

Thank you very much for reading me this term! I hope you have had a great time and you have been able to know me a little better! ... Have a great end of term! and enjoy your vacations!

My favourite picture :)

Hello friends! Today I will talk about one of my favorite pictures. With my family, we often make trips as far as possible. And the last trip, we went to Peru. This is a picture of Titicaca Lake; we went to the part of Peru. I like it because the colors are very nice and cheerful.
I remember that that vacations were the best, because I went with my father, my mother and my brother. We spent two weeks touring many places, very beautiful.This photo was taken by my dad. I think it really reflects the atmosphere in the islands of the lake. There were many Aymara people who dress in different colors, they are very happy and everyone is very friendly. I remember that day was a little cold, and when we arrived we received the guide and explained how these floating islands were made. Because, the place where we were, weren’t really islands of land close to the ground, but were made of a very special way and allowed to float. Another thing that caught my attention was that there were X number of islands, and when the members were fighting the islands parted, that explains why the number of islands varied, because of the relationships between the members of the community.

I will always remember that trip. I learn so much. Not only specific information, but also it was a different experience. I met really nice people and spent a good time with my family. Other thing that comes to my head while I’m writing is that we have the opportunity to climb into the boat that appears in the picture, but of course it was bigger, because we were about 12 people. It was really safe. This picture only makes me remember good times.

I hope you also like this picture as I do.
Have a nice week!

Education in Chile

Hello dear readers! Today I'm going to talk about education, specifically in Chile. Education in Chile is not very good. Many have heard of problems, and the "penguin revolution". Personally, I feel that education is fundamental in the life of a person. And therefore, everyone should have the right to an education, but not any education, but one of quality. Besides this, there is another very important issue, i'm refering to what is taught to children. Many important things are left to teach and I think it's because they do not respond to the interests of certain ruling classes. For example, environmental education and ecology, are not taught in schools.I think this topic is very important because it is essential to establish a balanced relationship with our environment, and many people have no idea how to do this. It is also necessary to respect all living beings, whether human, animal or plants, we are all entitled to live and how healthy as possible.
If teacher teach small children to respect the environment and animals, to care of them, to recycle, reuse and how to generate the least impact possible, they could teach adults and thus be transmitting all that knowledge and the world would be much more pleasant and healthy for everyone.

Let us put into practice our knowledge!

Have a nice week! :)

Thoughts

Hello everyone!

First of all, how are you?, I hope you had a great weekend.

Today I will discuss about all the things that have been happening to me, but, more than things, thoughts.

This year us my second year in Anthropolgy, and in the summer, I was very excited, in fact I read things of particular areas of the career. Everything was perfect, until I realized that this semester was not as I expected, so I started to question wether this was the career I wanted to study. The main problem was that only one subject motivated me, I did not see the point to the other subjects; there are teachers who are not so good, so I was really unmotivated. Actually, after thinking a lot, I realized that this is only a half of the complete year, what really matters is what will you do when you leave university, and that is waht motivates me most, so I decided to develop tolrance and patience and endure the other subjects, and devote more time the subject I like, and deepen the themes tht I like. This questioning career began when I started thinking about my birthday, that was last Sunday, and particulary I started thinking if I was doing things right and is I was happy.

I think it's healthy sometimes question how we are doing things, if we are happy or not, it we are satisfied, and so on. It allows us to stop for a moment, take things with calm and enjoy every single moment of life.

And well, that is what I've been doing thse weeks, wondering if I'm happy with what i'm doing, and I realized that despite boring or bad things, I am exactly where I want, I love the career, I have very good friends, and now I'm sure that I want to be a great anthropologist.

Hope you are happy with your decissions and your career.

Good luck this week!
