blog8: english classes

My experience in online english classes this semester has been really great! i enjoyed the space the teacher gave to the participation and active learning. when i was stressed by other classes, i liked that in english the academic load was lower and much more interactive! i enjoyed do the blogs and reading yours, was fun and the english language was around my head all day.

However, i have to admit that in a few ocations i used the google translator :sss this is because my level of english is still poor. My pronunciation its poor too, so im thankful for the opportunity of the videos. I could improve in all the aspects of the language, but i think my biggest fault is the pronunciation. When i did the videos, sometimes i had to repeat it several times for the same mistakes.

These days i use english only for classes, i am not consuming much content in english except music. Well, my little sister is a mega fan of the Marvel Universe haha so almost everyday i watch a movie with her. I also talk sometimes with a friend who is a studies english pedagogy and like a funny exercise, we write messages in english or spanglish. We send each other english memes too.

About the importance of learn english language, i think its very relevant these days. I would like to visit differents countrys and cultures and for that i have to learn the idiom and above all, have a good pronunciation. i appreciate the interest of the teacher for this aspects.

musik

helloo, today i will talk about a music band.

i dont have a favourite singer or band right now so i chose a random spotify group haha: Tame Impala. In fact they are very famous and important in rock and psychodelic music of the last decade. I started listening to them since they became popular, around the year 2012. I was still a child and i listened with my father. The first song i heard was "Mind Mischief".

they have four albums: Innerspeaker (2010), Lonerism (2012), Currents (2015) and Slow Rush (2020). Each one has a different vibe, but are all really great and recommended! Lonerism and Currents are the best ones. I couldn't decide which of the two is better. Lonerism is the rock side of the group, and Currents its more pop.

my favourite song of them is The Less I Know The Better. i think its a song that has to be in the playlist of my life. In 2015, when the song came out, i was insaane, i heard it a lot. But, the last year i heard it so much too, because i heard it at the disco, and it was a crazy moment.

so, this band brings me many good memories : great times with my father in childhood, in puberty, and now again.

pd: another weird anecdote with this song is that a few months ago i have an accident and was very painful. one thing i remembered that strikes me is that in the ambulancy that song was playing, the less i know the better. it was very ironic that in such a bad moment, one of my favorite songs of all time was playing.

Postgraduate Studies

I'ts hard to think in future things because it's so out of our hands, many things could happen in the road, especially the case about the studies and laboral opinions. In fact, the things i was thinking about a year ago have radically changed. But, i think many of us have realized that if we want to have a good work field, we must study more than undergraduate, as professor Isla once said. So, if i got the chance to take postgraduate studies, i would think first in what job as a anthropologist i would like to do.

I would study some about sociology like the problems about social injustice to the poor and marginalized people or indigenous rights. I imagine that the subjects it will cover will be ethnography, epistemology, sociology and things like that.

I would like to study in another country, perhaps in a prestigious european or gringo university (because we know that prestige is what sells the most) or maybe other latino country where anthropology is more important and I can stay and work (like Mexico, Perú, Argentina idk). I have thought a lot about this last idea of ​​migrating to another Latin American country, and I would like it very much. I think that actually studying a postgraduate degree would help me a lot to create job ties elsewhere. I would prefer a part-time course or with blended system for time and money purposes.

I hope everyone is well, and that we can work whatever we want   💋

blog 5: my future job

hii, talk about job is very difficult, i could answer many things and at the same time, not answer anything at all. In this moment i'm study anthropology and i will focus in the social mention, but for me the labor field is still a mistery. However, i'm not preoccupied in that because is a future thing and maybe i will study something else, or maybe working in others thing not relationated with what i'm study, idk, many things could happen, i'm focus right now in just finish the career and see what happens in the road.

But, i'm pretty sure of the reasons why i´m study this career, however are general things (but important), so i could respond a general answer of the job i would like to do. About the salary, its a difficult thing, because i could respond that i'm not interesed in money, but no one lives without it. However, its not my goal to be rich, or wealthy, or something like that.

In a social idealistic view, i would like to help people, build (or destroy) a new Chile or Latinoamerica, without injustice or inequality. If in any way i'm helping with that, i would be happy. But in a individual view, i really like freedom and autonomy (in this case, i would like to travel a lot and be outdoors). So, i live in this duality. The perfect job for me will be a job that includes these two things.

In other hand, talk about happiness and job like they were one thing, its too unreal. maybe i will end up being a drogadict, and its nothing wrong about it.
