English languages challenges

Imagen
I have to admit that if the university doesn’t force us to  learn english maybe I  would have never taken an English course, I know that this is a worldwide language and if I want to work or live in another country speak in english is an easier way to communicate  but I  feel that’s not fair replace traditionals languages like Mapuzungun or Aymara for english, I mean I  really prefer that in universities also in schools given the same importance to these other language, that are part of our culture and history.  More than as a criticism to the programme, my point is related to the importance that society give to that language, so when I think about the english programme of the university I feel that sometimes didn’t help me to read papers for the different classes that I have, but also I have to admit that I didn’t dedicate much time to the course, because for example blogs spend much time, sometimes I didn’t have idea about what to write or just I forgot it and  I assume th

Changes to the Archaeology programme

In the programme of archaeology of university of chile, everyone first have to do a basic cicle, where it supposes that you learn about everything related with the three speccifics mentions, and is a way to do that all the students have the same basis, focused on a social way of do our work. Since the third year we have specific classes of the mention that we choose and I think that in that moment it seems that everyone forget the social focus and in archaeoly the only important thing are prehistorics studies with the same methods and theories of 20 or 10 years ago.  I think that is necessary a change in our programs, we have excellent teachers and class in some cases, but we need learn new things and the way of use it in our future jobs, because outside our country, the traditional archaeology’s methods  everyday are less important. The way of thinking and technologies clearly change, but in our classes, sometimes only tells us this things but don’t teach us really about it,

SUMMER HOLIDAYS !

The theme of this week really excites me! I love holidays, just because I hate the feeling of being stressed that university brings me, but summer holidays are my favorite since I was a child only because my best memories are from this season.  We try to visit new places every year, I really love that and I’m completely grateful with my parents for their efforts to take me to know different places, but for me the best vacations are in Arica's city, where my grandparents live and  the plans for the next holidays are to go there for two months and only back for school and university in my case. Like I said, since I was I child that we went to that beautiful city and so the beaches of the city I think that are the best of Chile, so I can’t imagine going to anothers, there was where with my brothers we learnt bodyboard and in the last years I learnt surf, so those waves for us are too well known and nothing compares with that.  Actually the only plan that we have for h

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
