Post 5: Changes to my study program

I really feel that I love my career, in general I really like everything, and I feel very motivated. However, I think we must be conscious of some things that could be better.

To start, I think that the general curriculum is very interesting and well planned. But I think that in the first two years of the career they should implement more subjects related to archaeology and physical anthropology, since most of the subjects that we see these years are related to social anthropology.

Sometimes I feel that the workload is quite heavy in terms of content because we have to learn a lot of different things in different areas of anthropology. However, probably because the first year of studies was online, it has been quite easy for me to carry the workload until now, let's hope they continue to be like this for the rest of the career.

With respect to the infrastructure of the faculty I think that in some ways it is deficient, for example the lack of places to eat and food options, besides the fact that the classrooms are small for the number of students. However, I must admit that I really like the murals that the faculty has, I think they give color to the space.

Because of the pandemic, the use of technology has been a very important factor in the studies with online and hybrid classes. To be honest, these have been somewhat deficient because sometimes the teacher's or my connection is down. It is also a bit exhausting to have to read so much on the computer, but it is more economical than buying the texts.

Finally, I think that the teaching methods in general are good, I don't usually have many problems to understand, because the classes are always complemented with readings that help to understand in detail. I also like that there are a lot of practical classes, although I have not experienced many due to the pandemic, I know that it is something that is usually done, for example this year we had a field trip that was very entertaining and important for professional development.

  4. Read on the computer has been very dificult for me, but actually I feel less exhausted than year before. Regrettably, it's much cheaper than buying or photocopying the texts.

  5. I think exactly the same as you! The murals give color and life to the university space, and as students we should take ownership of them.

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better

  I am studying anthropology, I think one of the reasons why I chose this career is because since I discovered its existence I thought it was the way in which I could make a contribution to society. I consider that motivation and vocation are the most important things to be able to make a contribution with the work I will do in the future, and I hope that anthropology will allow me to do so. I believe that anthropology in essence allows us to expand our way of seeing the world, allows us to put ourselves in the place of the other, and indeed to be more empathetic with others. It is from empathy, I believe, that changes can be initiated; it is vital to understand the ways in which others live in order to be able to help them effectively. In the case of archaeology, I really like the idea of being able to reconstruct the past, and give voice to many events, people, groups that have been ignored until now. In short, anthropology provides multiple tools to understand others in a resp...

Blog 2: The Best Holiday

I consider that my best holiday was last summer, specifically in February 2022. On that occasion, I went to Lake Rapel to camp with my cousin, my aunt and a family friend for five days. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, walking around the campsite, taking pictures, playing cards and volleyball. However, most of all, we just rested.  This holidays was a really important experience for me, because I was able to connect with my family, with nature, and mainly with myself. I really managed to recharge my batteries after a year that was a little complicated. Also, for the first time in my life I had reiki, a very interesting experience, especially being in the middle of such beautiful landscapes. I also met a person that I now consider a great friend, I learned a lot from her and her life which is really inspiring, and we managed to connect super fast because we have similar interests.  Finally, what made this vacation trip end perfectly was that for the first time I saw a shooting ...

Post 4: Time travel to the past

Being able to travel back in time sounds like something that would happen in a movie or a science fiction book, so I guess I've never really stopped to think seriously about it. However, I think I would prefer to travel back in time for now. It is really interesting to me the idea of traveling far into the past and being able to see live the historical events that I have read about in history books. To be part of the first ships and ocean voyages, to see the French revolution or the independence of Chile. However, I think what I would be most interested in seeing in my trip to the past would be those events that are not documented in history, I would like to see how the first humans lived in Latin America before the arrival of the Europeans, to see the fauna and flora, how the landscapes have changed. It is a very nice idea to be able to live an experience like this, to be part of historical events that are not very famous in order to understand them better, and in this way under...
