GPOY

This is one of my mom's favorite pictures, she always remembers and teases me about it. For the same reason, I ended up loving it. In the photo I was three or four years old, we were visiting my family in Coronel, an hour afar from Concepción in the eighth region of Biobio, in the courtyard of my grandparent's house. I don't remember the context, I only know that there were puppies in the box and I was very curious because we didn't have pets in my house and for that reason I spent every day playing with them.

The problem was that I always ended up with all of my clothes dirty and my mom did not know why, until one day she opened the door and saw me as in the picture, going straight into the puppies box. There she discovered that I was staying inside the box with them and that was the reason why I was all dirty lol.

I have always been a very animal-loving person so it gives me a lot of tenderness to see a little me on the ground, no matter how dirty it is, making "nanai" to cute animals. The photo also makes me feel nostalgic because I really enjoyed being in that house with my grandparents due to the fact that it was before my grandfather passed away, so I really treasure those memories where we spent the entire day together. It was the best year of my life and I am truly grateful that they were with my grandparents.

Postgraduate Studies

As I have mentioned in previous blogs, it is very difficult for me to think about future situations because I try not to have expectations, mostly because I want to avoid anxiety. However, I would like to stay in the career of anthropology and take the mention of social next year. Also, I have been thinking about taking a magister in archeology or something of that nature, because I am too interested in working with past and present materiality. In the same way, I would like to take language courses, such as French, Latin, English, Portuguese. In addition, I desire to take a course of sign language for the reason that I find it necessary, given that I consider that it's crucial to know other ways of communicating.

Taking into account that we have been taking classes online for two years, which has made me sick, so I wouldn’t hesitate to take courses in person due to the fact that I would like to study abroad to know another way of learning, while visiting a new place. 

I’d like to mention that I have had the opportunity of taking courses at the University of Barcelona, ​​Duke University and Universidad de los Andes, but sadly due to the pandemic these have been online, so I would love to take other courses at these universities in person:(
