What i would change of the program of my career? Mmm...

Uh, that is a complex question...
If we consider the fact that archeology has its origins in the exploration of the sites, more practical experience should definitely be implemented in the curriculum. At our age, our teachers had already a lot of experiences! While we have had a few, this year we went to the square in front of the university and that was considered as practical travel hahaha we also left two days in a row to Maipu (but had to travel every day because there was no money to sleep there)
The lack of financing is another problem. The department attributes this to the fact that "we are many more students than before", however, every year that passes, the tariffs increase more and enrollment increases even though the infrastructure is not appropriate for so many people. Not having a seat or even a classroom isn't uncommon in this faculty.
Another basic problem in Anthropology in general, is the division of their mentions (Social, Physical and Archeology), because the first two years (basic cycle) is actually a collage of disordered subjects (something like the continuation of the school) and you have to wait until the third year to choose something that you may not even like.
Losing two years and then realizing that you don't like what you're studying is really disastrous.
On the other hand, archeology in this university in general is fairly square when it comes to social problems, influenced by the North American processual school, often fall into prehistoric essentialism and hard data ... but what about the social? I would like there to be exclusive branches on Archeology of repression and gender Archeology, not just theoretical sections.

Sunset on Atacama Desert is so beautiful! 🌅

Hello! I took this picture in January of this year when I traveled with my best friend to the North. San Pedro was the last stop after 7 more places. It was our firts experience traveling alone and we definitely had to visit El Valle de la Luna in Atacama Desert! I chose this photo because I love so much the colors and the moment that represents: after the rain (yes, we find peals of  thunder and a few of rain in the most arid desert of the world in midsummer) the sky is cleared and is the most awaited moment by the tourists:  The sunset. It was an almost magical moment, when all people (from multiple languages, countries and cultures) meet and marvel for the beauty of nature. Within the tour, only we and a family spoke Spanish, but the language barrier did not matter when it came to sharing that scene with applause and an almost childish wonder. 

Why Anthropology?

I don't really know.  First, I wanted to study Arts, there were other careers that I liked them, like Psychology, Graphic Desing, Forest engineering and Architecture, but Anthropology appaered as a new way when I was in last year of school. I heard that in this university I could enter to Archeology mention if I studied Anthropology...  So, I remember that when child, my dream was to be Paleontologist, but that career doesn't exist in Chile :( Archeology is the closest to Paleontology that exists here. I finally decided that I would study Anthropology and then Arts. In the year and a half that I've been studying I mean that this career is very nice, I hope to get to Archeology mention next semester.

I think the experience is good, althrough I didn´t post all the blogs because I had not time. (The university is full in end of year and I'm really absent-minded. Sorry, teacher. I have failed you </3 I'll try to post the overdue blogs) Personally, I like so much post blogs (whether in spanish or english) because is funny to choose designs, images, color, gifs or memes for to decorate the post. Even so I would have liked to post a free theme (choice mine) for once only. Is more interesting to write about themes of your liking or else it becomes somewhat forced... Anyway, this exercise of post blogs has helped me to develop my writing in English in a more interactive way that, for example, write in a page of papel that nobody will read. Comment blogs of other companions is very useful for share opinions too, especially if is among diferent carreers, that gives multidisciplinarity and expands the point of view. In the future, I would to incluse free themes, that gives more
