The University just give us the basic, and sometimes it may be not enough. There a good number of people who study here and the dependence seems to handle all of us good for now, but just in my career (Anthropology), every year the enrollment increase ans thus the amount of students in the whole faculty. I don´t know if this happens in others careers but surely is the same.  And then there is always, and when I say "always" I mean the time from my first year until today, some place under remodeling or in construction. That is good, nice and, of course, welcomed because top management  seems to care enough about this campus, the problem is the noisy during classes, the constant dust and the lesser and lesser green areas. Yeah, everything here seems to be made of cement and the fresh places where you would be more comfortable, specially with summer being so near, are few. Not all the classrooms of the older building have air conditioning so have a lecture there with f...

The Public Transport now and then seems to be an important issue the last years. I can say I don´t remember so much about the so called “yellow-buses” besides the deteriorated seats, the constant rattle of all the structure and the noisy engines. Then there is Transantiago with its larger buses, more modern –supposedly- and with a better connective inside the Capital, this means all these great things politicians were saying about the new Public Transport System but, and we all know this, failed to be true. If it was in terms of comfy then the last system was better for me. It had padding seats which I think were more useful for long travels or for people who had to take more than one bus to reach their destiny. Meanwhile Transantiago’s seats are 100% plastic, hard and dirty plastic. About the cleaning it never was good for any of them mostly because a cultural behavior of hide ice cream wraps in spaces between seats, well, any kind of junk really.   Then there is the pro...

“One day at a time” is one my favorite TV series in the last time. Its first season was released in January of 2017 and the second in January of this year. The history revolves around Penelope “Lupita” a nurse veteran of the army who has to deal with PTSD after went back to her normal life. The story follows her, her child’s –Alex and Elena- and her mother –Lydia an American-Cuban family trying to struggle against all the problems and issues that immigrants must deal with in their new countries as discrimination and prejudices for being Latinos. This is not a sad or dramatic series, but instead a comedy one which has all the elements to make a good drama, that’s it. What I like the most is the mixed of cultural traits this show displays, but also I like how it tried to put sensitive themes like sexuality –coming out- and working it with respect and deepness besides the main genre “comedy” it has. Also being the main protagonist a Latino family it makes so much more relatable th...

I was thinking on starting a second career after getting graduated on Anthropology with the purpose of have more job possibilities in the future. It is just to have more stability but also, I would like to study other discipline because in my opinion just having one career limits people a lot, especially when that person doesn’t likes his/her job that much which is not my case anyway but is what happens with my aunt Maria del Pilar, an auditor who in this moment is practically all collapsed and frustrated with her job, one she has been doing for around twenty years by now. I know also there is people who loves theirs job so much that they are fine doing it for the rest of their lives but a side some of my teachers in university I don´t know anyone else like this. The career what I am thinking on is Technology in chemical analysis, one who allows to work in the quality control area, food industry, pharmacological, agro-industrial, plastic, environmental, mining and others. This is ...

There are a few things I was thinking of doing in a future related to job. The ideal situation is being working in research with decent projects and hypothesis and help to expand physical Anthropology to a new level of knowledge and understanding of past and living populations. But, knowing how reduced the field in Chile is and the lack of good technology for investigations –what brings the problem of the expensive cost for methods of analysis -. Another option is working in the Medical Legal Center Service or be a teacher in the University. My last option is publish my non-spectacular at all, tails. I have four in my PC, and nowadays any cliché s*** is well welcome so I have a possibility there. But the best thing is get a complementary degree or just starts another career. Even if it means invert more time and money, I like the idea of another career which can provide me not necessarily a complementary view for Anthropology, but that can give me another kind of knowledge and be h...

I've never been a fan of social media before because it always seems a bit odd to me the idea of sharing literally everything I feel and happens to me in a whole day with people who I can talk directly so I really dislikes Facebook the most, following by Twitter and then Instagram. It could sound weird but I have two Facebook. The first one was made for a request -an obligation- for one of my younger cousins. I haven't known anything’s of that account anymore after the first week of experiment I did of the web around ten years ago. My second account was made for a matter of "necessity" in High School, in a time where everything related to homework in groups were shared through Facebook so if I wanted to contribute to the final scored I needed an account. I don´t use this one except if I am looking for information about the university.  Instagram is not interesting at all and Twitter seems to be more of a battlefield than a nice social media where a person can ha...
