Archaelogy rules ?


I like to think that archaeology rules, I know it's sound weird, and looks that I'm complete crazy about my career, but the truth is that I'm not sure, and all the time I'm doubting about what I'm exactly  doing here, really archaeology rules ?, of course that no, no one’s knows about what it is and in every family reunion I have to explain what I’m studying and if I have opportunities for work in the future and of course everyone asking why I chose that, always in a kindness way.

When I was in school, I always participated in activities with social purposes and since that time is that help people is one of the thing that make me  feels most grateful than anything, the experiences and how people looks happy it’s something that I don’t know how to explain, I think that was when everything started, from that moment  I was completely sure about what I want to do, if I have to spend five or more years studying, I want that have sense and not just for the money.

But when I started to look about social careers or things like that I felt that it wasn’t for me, I don't how to explain, but what they taught it wasn't enough for me. Other important matter is that I always loved history, but study just that I feel like doesn’t have a social role, I feel that historian see everything from a separate perspective and sometimes forget that he is writing the history of people, the same that with they live. In that moment I thought in anthropology, but I always loved the art and every expression of beauty and feelings, so archaeology seemed like a great option because of the work with materials and history, but the social role continues being the problem even when I chose that, and I have been studying for 3 years.



I really prefer think that I can change the things in our discipline, I know how complicates it would be, but I believe in the social role of the archaeology, we works with people, with the things that they do, and with the history that they put in them, I want to help to rescue that meanings, but I don’t want to seems like someone more important than common  people, I want to work with them, to  create something that people feels like yours, maybe I'm not going to  changes their lives or make them millionaires, but I like to believe that they will be happy, living with sense like they ancestors did.

    I think that is the problem with most careers in the social area, they are sold as opportunities to generate great changes, which in the end are truncated by lots of institutional obstacles. I think the challenge is not to lower your arms, and believe and realize that yes it is possible to change things, maybe you do not become millionaire, but your life will make sense and you will surround yourself with very positive energy!

My favourite type of movie

Be in the university is a completely challenge, the pressure of good marks and all the things to read and learn do that the free time doesn't exist, so when a have a weekend or even a single day in the week to relax and do anything that I like, watch a movie is always a good option, but not any type, for me is good if that makes me think in other kind of things different from that I learn in class. So a movie that makes me laugh is perfect, but also I prefer that it is related at some level with reality, because I really hate that kind of comedy that is based in hurts the feelings of the people that are different for every reason, like comments or jokes related with racism. When comedy is accompanied with drama or romance is even better, especially if this is exaggerated and creates ridiculous situations for the characters, but at the end teaches us about clichés that no one questions, because think that aren’t real, just a creation of the director, but actually the inspir

My four dogs

My parents loves animals since I was a child, I remember they teach me about animals and how  they can suffer in the same way as humans and that they are just adorable and completely loyal to their owners.So that was how we ended with four dogs in our house, each have an special story. Our first dog is called dhanna and after years that our first dog died, we decided to have another, but we don't believe in bought animals when outside are lot of beautiful dogs without home, so one day my mother and my little brother went to "Feria" and there was a man giving away dogs, so my brother choose one and brought her to our house. After going to a party I returned to my house with a dog that was in the square outside the house where we were, that dog now is called toko is the most adorable thing that has happened to my life, when I saw her she was malnourished and she walked weird and she just was a small thing alone in the middle of the night, after everything that

My future job

Like I always say, I’m not sure about my future in general, but I must admit that sometimes I feel desperate because all the people do always the same questions about jobs and money and opportunities and that kind of things, but none ask about what makes me happy and actually  I’m not sure about archaeology’s jobs, I feel that are too traditional for what I want.  I learn that for an archaeologist exist a limits job’s opportunities, that are investigation or environmental impact , for the first one is necessary have a lot of knowledge about a specific area and it’s completely difficult get projects, so that’s an option that takes a lot time and I feel that doesn’t have a social role, because the only import things are show the results in a congress  to other scholars and that's it. Well, environmental impact is not very different, the only thing that change is that you sell your soul to huge company, so the communities are the last thing important in that case.
