The best holidays I´ve had

A scholar trip to Chacabuco

Of all the days that I spent studying in the same place throughout my life, I only remember this experience as the one that changed, in a certain way, my vision of the world and the form of being connecting to it.

Was on 21 April 2019 of a school trip corresponding to a semester subject, where we went to a former Saltpeter Works, Chacabuco. 

I remember that we arrived in the morning and left before the sun went down.

All my classmates and I along with two teachers, undertaken this short trip to learn more about the past of the Saltpeter Works and the vestiges of the military dictatorship.


We were not allowed to walk alone because of the danger it could result in, otherwise, all the city t seems the same for unfamiliar eyes.


However, we were apart into groups that walked everywhere with total autonomy. The old theater, the houses, surviving structures of the Saltpeter Works, among other things, constituted this historical place that we walked recklessly.

 

For me, this "holiday" managed to change my perspective about what the desert may or may not be. Together with that, my way of seeing the country's history, making it into something that shouldn't be seen so far away because is part of us.

Positive, negative and funny experiences of this world pandemic

  How the pandemic changed my life  Hello everyone, in this blog I am going to tell you about my experience in this global pandemic and how I try to cope with it these days! After the pandemic started, I haven't left my house more than four times, unlike my family members who are forced to work even if there is confinement, so I spend my "pandemic days'' mostly with my cat. Throughout this time, I have thought that the way society views certain aspects of self-care is going to change. For example, we will be more careful about sneezing or touching things. I even think we will consider more mental health and the ways we relate to others.  In short, I am hopeful that society will improve, even if only slightly in this aspect… Similarly, the time that quarantine gave me, allowed me to rediscover my little hobby of baking and writing, although it took me away from other activities that I did before this, such as music or martial sports. Regarding studies, my situation has ...

  Changes to my study programme    Hello everyone! In this blog, I am going to tell you about the changes that I would like to do to my study program at the university. How you know from my last post, I am majoring in Anthropology (I am in my first year by the way). Well, in the curriculum of the first two years you learn about the basic and necessary things that you need to know before selecting a specialization but are a large amount of subject related to social-cultural anthropology. I think that is important to add more subjects about archeology and physical anthropology, because (maybe I am wrong) are four or two subjects concerning them. Is a problem don't know what those areas do at the moment of choosing one. In the same way, we should adopt the use of technology in the form that we are taught. I don't refer to the pandemic way, is more like the form that we can do our job via the internet, for example.  Another thing is that maybe we can have the opportunity...

The best movie that I´ve ever seen

Imagen
Let's talk about movies!  Concerning films, I agree that they deserve the name of "seventh art" due to show different things in a versatile way, nevertheless, I don´t have a strong bond with it, and for this reason, I am no able to fill lists with the movies I have seen. Thanks to the films that I have seen throughout my life, I consider that I am more adept at various genders like historical drama, martial arts, war, and animation films. I remember that in my childhood I loved Disney movies like " The Little Mermaid", "The Sleeping Beauty", "Dumbo" and "Mulan", while in my early adolescence I enjoyed films like "12 Angry men". A movie that I remember seeing not long ago and fascinating me by its fantastic component, animation quality, and the soundtrack is "Howl's Moving Castle". I even read the book at the time for the curiosity... The story is about Sophie, a young girl who after a fleeting encounter with...
