My English

 

Learning English at university has been complicated, the academic load in the other subjects makes the attention I put to English less and less. I try to practice talking to my best friend, but I don't see many results hahaha. The use of blog can be very beneficial, but it makes it possible to fall into the use of translator and only write to meet, not to learn. I must admit that several times I have used the translator :(.

The aspects that I must improve, is the writing and speaking. More writing than talking. I can read in English and understand what they tell me (sometimes xD). I've been told that my pronunciation is good, but I just feel like I speak without the "r", which nothing else changes. However, my English when I entered university was very poor compared to the one I have now. I think reading so many texts and books in English, with terrible resolution, has made me learn something.

For the better, I plan to keep reading my university stuff without translating it (pasting paragraph by paragraph into the translator is very slow ><) and will keep trying to set up conversations in English.

In my day to day, English is something very present, there are almost no texts of my career in Spanish T_T and the teachers always tell us that to be a good physical anthropologist you have to go to study in countries where they speak English.

Hopefully one day I will have fluent English, but I don't have much hope being honest. Languages are not my forte.

My career, love and hate

Imagen
Choosing my current career was difficult, at school I always liked numbers, I wanted to be an engineer for a long time, in my last year of high school I had a radical change and wanted to study medicine, in the end I never managed to decide which career to study. I went into baccalaureate in science and then I switched to baccalaureate in the humanities, I wanted to do everything at once, everything I liked. At the end of the first year of baccalaureate, a friend introduced me to an archaeology student and told me that anthropology allowed me to do everything, you could be a social anthropologist, health anthropologist, archaeologist, growth, coroner, and many other areas. She was telling things about the career that I really liked, so the next year I went into anthropology, when I walked in, I had doubts about what to mention the choice, but I decided on physics. I love my career, I love bones, but it is unmotivating the little work field that exists in Chile, nobody knows the caree

My cat

  This time I’m going to write about my faithful companion, my cat. My cat is called Hobbes Dimitri Vladimir Vladivostok, his name is very long and powerful, but I did not choose it, so we all call them only Hobbes. He is 7 years old, the first 2 years of his life he was with my sister (she chose the long and powerful name hahaha) and then because of space problems he got to with me and never left again. It is the most tender cat that exists, it has never scratched anyone. All the mornings wake me up to open the bed and sleep next to me. He understands by his name and comes when they call him by his name, he looks like a dog instead of a cat. He is fear of moths and is very bad at fly hunting. Once he took him to the field, expecting him to play, but he only to sleep next to the woodstove. He is fear of moths, but with dogs the story is different, my dad has 3 dogs at home, they are littles and sleep with my younger sister, but in the holidays, the dogs must go to the yard, bec

Corpses and bones

In the present, I'm in the fourth year of physical anthropology, enter the career thinking that I wanted to be part of the PDI and be a forensic anthropologist, over the years, my goals changed, now I like more the bioarchaeology and working with living populations I also like it a lot. In the future, I would like to work for northern Chile, visit and participate in excavations, study of mummies typical of Chile, which are also the oldest in the world, the mummies "Chinchorro".  Archaeology also I like, it is a vital support to be able to understand the ways of life of populations that not exist today. I would like to study archaeology, so that complement physical anthropology.  When I think about work, I just imagine outdoors dig up bones and then studying them, but dig up I have to be an archaeologist,  then for now I can only think about working in the morgue or a lab with corpses and bones, what archaeologists can bring me. Working in museums would also be great. If I
