English Language Challenges

This one last time I’d like to talk about my English language challenges after this class. First of all I have to say that I really like to learn other languages like English because I think it’s interesting to know how other people express themselves all over the world. So I have to say that I like to have the opportunity to learn and practice a language different from Spanish. Regarding to our blogs I have to say that even when there were sometimes when I really didn’t know what to write I like when we had the chances to write about stuff like our favorite TV Show or our favorite actor/actress because it’s funny to talk about that. I think I need to improve my speaking skills and my vocabulary and I can only do that with a lot of practice so I’m going to do that. Outside the English class I could say that I frequently use my English these days because I have to read a lot of texts in English and I watch a lot of TV Shows that are in this language so I can say that English is something regular in my life. Also on the Social Medias like Instagram I see a lot of things that are in English so I really have to understand what I am reading and that also helps me to practice this language.

I’ll see you soon and keep learning!     

Changes to my Study Programme

Hello!

Like I have told you before I am studying archaeology at the University of Chile. Even when I like the career that I chose there are some things that I would like to change or put new things. Regarding to the subjects that I have to study in this career we have four main themes which are the prehistory of Chile, laboratory techniques, field techniques and archaeological theory. Also among this subjects we have complementary themes that we can choose. The length of this career is five years and we have a lot of workload because in every subject you have to be constantly reading a lot of texts or books and we have to do practical field work. One of the problems that we have in this career besides the workload are the faculty facilities because we don’t have many laboratories and our classmates from physical anthropology also need to use them.  Regarding to the teaching methods, even when we have subjects about field techniques we don’t have many practical work so that’s another problem we have on the career. Also about the technology, as archaeologist we have to use a lot of implements as GPS, microscopes, computers and programs like Google Earth but there are not enough to everybody. Even when we have a lot of things to improve, we can learn a lot of things.

See you!

My favorite TV Show

Hello again! Today I’m going to talk to you about my favorite TV Show. I have to say that it is a little hard to choose just one because I’m a person who watches a lot of series since I was a child so I have watched a lot of TV Shows in my life, anyways I finally chose a series that I found last year and has become one of my favorite ones, Supernatural.

Supernatural is a TV Show about two brothers called Sam and Dean that after their father's disappearance they follow his footsteps as “hunters” fighting evil supernatural beings of many kinds, including monsters, demons, ghosts and gods that roam the earth. In every episode Sam and Dean fight against a new creature or meet new people so that’s how in the season four they met my favorite character that becomes an important member of the cast, the angel Castiel. Regarding this my favorite episode is the first one of the fourth season when Dean finally met Castiel and found that he was the person that saved him from hell. I really love this TV Show because the stories are really interesting, you learn a lot about supernatural beings and you can’t avoid loving the characters, all of them have deep and dark pasts but they always keep fighting doing what they can. Also with this show you can see that life is not just black or white.

Postgraduate Studies

In this new post I would like to talk you about a postgraduate course that I’m considering to take in the future.  In first place, there is a postgraduate course at the ‘Universidad de Chile’ related to archaeology that I would like to take. A master’s degree in archaeology. This course would help me to increase my knowledge about the past and all the things that I’m learning now in my major. On the other hand, like I’ve told you before I really like the forensic and criminalistics sciences so I would like to do a postgraduate course related to those subjects. In the branch of knowledge of archaeology there is the forensic archaeology that is the specialist application of archaeological techniques to the search and recovery of evidential material from crime scenes so I like this because I believe that archaeology could be very helpful in this case. Regarding this, there is a master in Forensic Archaeology and Crime Scene Investigation at the University of Bradford in England that I would really like to take in the future. I would like to study this master’s degree as classroom teaching because in that way I could meet many new people and know new places in UK. The good thing about this course is that it lasts one year and also you can learn about the investigation at crime scenes which is a thing that I am very interest in.  

My future job

Hello again! In this new post I’m going to talk you about my future job. Since I was a child I always wanted to be a detective, I like that kind of stuffs. But at the end I decided to study archaeology because it had a big spectrum of things to do. The good thing is that now I know I still can work in the forensic area being an archeologist and that's what I would like to do. One of the reasons why I choose this major and why I like the detective work it's because I wouldn't like to work on an office, I prefer the outdoors and with the archaeology you spend a lot of time in outdoors. I really hope that whatever I work, it makes me happy with the major I choose.

Someone I would like to meet

Throughout history there has been a lot of different people, some of them we can admire it and others we can dislike or even hate.  Regarding this, in this world there are a lot of people that I would like to meet or that I would have liked to meet.

Lately, I had been very into a serie called Supernatural that is about two brothers called Dean and Sam Winchester that travel all over United States hunting all kind of supernatural creatures y beings like ghosts, witches, demons, vampires, lycanthrope, and others.  Watching this serie was where I saw for the first time the person who I want to talk you today, the person that I would like to meet. He is Misha Collins.

Misha Collins is an US actor who has been working on Supernatural since 2008 until the present. He joined the serie on the fourth season playing the character Castiel who is one of my favorite ones. I like Misha because he is a really funny person on his social media, when he is with his friends from the show or in the conventions. What I admire the most about him is that he looks like a very genuine person and even when some people think that he is a weird person, he encourages his fans to embrace their differences, to love themselves and to help and respect the people. As an actor he has won a People Choice Award, a Teen Choice Award and a Constellation Award. But also he founded an annual week-long competitive media scavenger hunt called GISHWHES to collect money for charity that has broken several Guinness World Records.  

I really hope to keep seeing him on Supernatural because he is awesome as Castiel.

Post 3: My Favorite Movie

Hello again! 

It’s very hard to choose a favorite movie because I have a lot of movies that I really like and in this moment I can’t choose only one. So, today I’m going to talk you about a movie that I recently saw and that really moved me. The movie that I choose it’s “Gifted” released in june 2017. In this movie appears Chris Evans as Frank Adler, Mckenna Grace as Mary Adler and Octavia Spencer as Roberta Taylor. The movie Gifted takes place in a little town near of Tampa and it's about a single man, Frank, raising his child prodigy niece Mary after her mom died. Mary’s mom was a prodigy mathematician so she was always studying and for that reason she never could have a normal life. Frank doesn’t want that for his niece so he is drawn into a custody battle with his mother who wants that her granddaughter continue with her mom’s work. My favorite part of the movie it’s when Frank, Mary and Roberta are the whole night in a waiting room at the hospital until a family receive the announcement that the baby was born so in that moment he teaches his niece what is the real mean of family. I really like this movie because it is very touching and I really love Chris, Mckenna and Octavia they are amazing actors.  

Here I left you a picture of the movie!
