Video: A subject you enjoyed at school

 Hi! I sent the link of the video to your email

Thanks, bye bye<3

The cringe

An embarrassing situation happened to me when I was in the last year of school, I was 18 years old and we had to do an exhibition about a social movement during recess in the playground. The activity had gone very well and it was time to order, but with my grade we always liked to miss classes, so we started playing. I don't remember the specific game, but I remember being with my best friend running while our classmates yelled at us, I was giving it my all, so much that I didn't see that there was a banana peel on the ground, I SLIPPED LIKE IN THE CARTOONS. My classmates and I exploded in laughter as they helped me stand up and wipe my pants. We said: How did nobody record that? Nobody believed us that it had been a banana peel because, honestly, Who does something like this happen to?

It has been one of my best falls and I'm not ashamed to relive it, even though the whole school saw it, I fondly remember each one of the stupid things we did, those laughs that make your stomach hurt, throw yourself to the ground and cry.

I always carry these memories in my heart and in the bruises that were marked on me, they are a safe dose of serotonin KJSKDJS

The best holidays ever

My best vacation was in the summer of 2018, we traveled along the Austral road with my dad, mom and little brother. We got to known many towns, places, snowdrifts, barges untill to reaching Puerto Cisnes, a few kilometers from Coyhaique. The trip lasted about a month and involved various adversities, such as walking for hours, eating at one AM, having to wait hours to get on a barge and sleeping in the car. However, all that was worth it in exchange for the beautiful places we met, the kind people who opened their doors to us, the craft fairs where my mom went crazy for buying magnets for fridge and my dad for eating seafood, jokes and "nanai" in the back seat with my brother, doing arborism in very tall trees, cold and rainy days, traveling by boat, sunsets (which are beautiful in all places and I love taking pictures of them), playing with the southerners puppies and kittens, music playing loud while we were on the road, being surrounded by the immense sea, feeling so complete. Honestly, this trip meant a lot to me, since I felt very happy, after a very difficult year, with the people that I love the most. It is unsurpassed and inexplicably wonderful.

A country you would like to visit

I'd love to be able to know as many places as I can in my life, so it's hard for me to think of just one now, especially considering the pandemic. For example, I’m very excited to know Peru and Bolivia, because I’m very attracted to their cultures and places, but at the same time meet Cuba, Norway, India and Vietnam call me. Everywhere I would like to know the different realities that converge, understand their beliefs and walk their streets astonishing me with their architecture, street art and animals that I meet on the way. As for whether I would stay to live, study or work in any of those places, I don't know, I’m a person who lives minute by minute without questioning the future, more than anything for the uncertainty of what life can be. However, I hope that my career allows me to be able to take trips to know other cultures and to be able to know and live based on it.

My relation with English

 

I consider my relationship with English quite unusual, I understand it quite well, because since I was a child I have been interested in languages. However, I focused this interest on English because it is the "universal language" and in this way I began to listen to music, watch movies and interviews, read novels and nerd books and even change my phone to English. Ironically I feel that speak English it is not going very well for me, in my head or when I am alone it sounds excellent, like a native, but when I speak it in public I die lol

Sixth Blog: An evaluation of your blogging experience

I think that the overall blogging experience was very didactic, recreational and relaxed, it does not generate the same stress as other evaluations and I appreciate that very much. I also feel that my writing skills have improved, I feel more comfortable doing it.

In the future I would like you to be encouraged to use this modality in other English courses because it is more relaxed and you learn in a fun way. In addition, I would like to include instances of debates or discussions around current news or topics, which, in addition to enriching our English, will allow us to know other points of view.

Likewise, I don't know how possible it is, but I would like to be able to speak sign language in English, to break the language barrier with deaf people. I think it would be extremely inclusive to do.

Personally, I would like to write about feminism, gender issues, antispecies, veganism and / or vegetarianism. In order to learn and teach others.

P.D.: Ronda, thank you very much for your classes, I really enjoyed them<3

Fifth Blog: A subject you have enjoyed studying this year

In the first semester we had the subject of Workshop 1: The work of the anthropologist. In this class, Flora Vilches and Jorge Razeto taught us different spaces and investigations in which the social anthropologist, physical anthropologist and archaeologist develop and can carry out. 

During the course of the subject we made reports with the topics addressed during the class, within these, were the materialities, gender, sexual dissidence, indigenous problems, environment, among others. In this way the teachers introduce us to an anthropologist or archaeologist who developed within some of this areas and they themselves explained to us how they carried out their work.

For me the subject was incredible because I came to the career with the idea that I was not going to have a job in the future. However, as the course progressed, I realized that I could work in too many spaces, I could help and learn from many people and realities.

I would have loved to be able to take this course in person, no through a computer. However, I loved everything we learned in it.
