Task 11: my blogging experience

Hello!

This will be, probably, the last time that I write in a blog. Before this course I've never had one, even a fotolog or a website. I dont like much to show my life in a web site, it gives to me a little of scared. In my opinion, to talk about me is not an interesting topic, it doesn´t make sense that I don´t love to myself (noway!) It is just, that there are a lot of different themes in our brains ready to get out and to build new things. Why could be my life interesting? I don't know, and I don´t want to know neither. Internet is a totally different world to me, and I have many respect for it. I don´t like much to register me in forums, or play games in internet because I feel unprotected, so I´ve development a negative position in front of it.

Even that, in this semester I ought to take an English course, then I made an account in blogspot and started to write about some themes, in order to show and paractice my "English". I thought that to write in English would be more difficult than to speak, but I noticed that I had a problem to talk about my interested, likes or dislakes... as consequence, was very complicated made some task, and that point (don´t know about what to write) was more significant that my knowledge about the English language. So I have to say, that even all the bad feelings that internet could produce to me, I enjoyed this part of the course; it really helps me, not only to write, but to extend my vocabulary too. Blog is an axcelent tool to become in words our thinking, expression skill, language domain, etc.
As advantage, in the blog I didn´t have to write about my personal life ( If I did, it was in a bit way) so I didn´t felt exposed. However, I try to control all my movement at web.

I said that this will be the last time that I write in a blog.... I am not sure now....

Task 10: My Ideal Job

Ooohh! Hello!!
This is definitely some of the most important topic in my life, even I've been not thinking a lot about it at the last time. Sometimes, when I've felt very tired and stressed since I've had to do a lot of things releated with university (like essays, reports, reading, etc), the only thing that has given me support was my life project. It is not an ambitious project, but is a simple proyect. I just expect to get a job to have enough money to live with my boyfriend (survive) and to get a house which would have enough windows, then we could enjoy the daylight.

Thinking about job.... mmmm... I am not sure what exactly job will be, but I would love to get a job releated whit my carrer after finish it; like teaching, doing research in physical anthropology, working in ministry of health, etc. Independent of that, I would work in shift(my ideal job would have shifts), 'cause in that way I will not be everyday in the job. If I had to work in the same place, for the same amount of hours, everyday... It would be so boring and I couldn´t stand up.

I would like have a job which allows to me travel, to another cities or maybe countries, at least had vacations to travel by my own.

Now, I notice that I've never thought about my ideal job, I just have some preference, releated with job's free time. In relation with the kind of job, I just expect a entretaining job, I guess that I hate the routine so I will feel very very happy with a dinamic job, in which I had to do a lot of different things and learn new things too.

Good bye!!!

task 9: my favorite subject(s)

Hello!!! well the last week were really hard, and that makes me remember that in all my subjects I have to do a lot of things, like essays, readings, theorycal research, etc. Although I have many work to do, I like the mayority of my subjects. I'm not sure which of them is my favorite, actually I don't have any favorite subject.
(I have to write more words so... here I go)

The last year were given subjects releated with archaeology which were very interesting. In the first semester one of them was Archaeology I. The theacher in charge of it was Isabel Cartagena, she is an archaeologist graduated in University of Chile, and she teached us some theorical and practice aspect of her discipline, like archaology's hystory, technicles, methods. Furthermore she presented us some archaological research.
There was another subject very important for us: Prehistory. It was given in the first semester too and it had two teachers in charge (their surnames) Benavente, Cristino, and two assistant (their names) Boris and Jaie. I don't know why I just remember the surnames for theachers and the names for assistants...Very curious... Anyway, the contents of this subject were ( in a general way) human evolution, prehistoric popuilations, domestication process, firts states, etc. In the second semester was given the second part of this subject, and in that opportunity we reviewed the precolumbian population as Maya, Aztecas, Incas, and the populations before them. In that course the teacher in charge was Nuriluz Hermosilla (I remember her name... unbelievable)

I liked those two (or three) subjects because I learned a lot about some topics that I didn't know and given to me a base to think in possible future research. It was very important to me to know about our origin, as species and as american population, since in high school I studed some of this themes but not in depth.

There were other subjects releated to different approach in Social Anthropology, they were really interesting too, but is much information to resume here.

And finally in relation to Physycal Antropology I had two subjects very important: Biology and Evolution which were the most interesting of all, the only problem was that I didn't like so much the teacher so I don't want to talk about it. The content was (and it still be) very interesting for me, because I didn't study it in high school since I thought that it would be very dificult for me and I couldn't learn something... Now I know that I was wrong.

As a final coment I want to say that I would love to have subjects with mathematical content. In this semester I have Statistics but it isn't enough for me.

Good bye!!
