Changes to my study programme

The changes that would be necessary to made in the career of Anthropology in this university are a lot. I really don't recomend this career because you will found a lot of obstacles and they will frustrate you, so, i always said that if you want to study this, get ready to fight for a good learning process. 
One very important thing i would like to change in the curriculum it is the absurd enphasis on the theorical part. It is necessary to study the history and everythign related to how today we use the anthropology, but that part of the learning (to me) it doesn't really matter if you don't get down of that cloud and start to think in the real world. As an example (i always use this one), in a subject named "Political anthropology" we studied every theme in function of the movie "The godfather" a movie made in 1972 instead of using the actual political escenary that we live on, the one that is happen right here in front of our noses. For the students is exhausting this career, but I think the workload it is okay, the main trouble it is that no one ever planed anything, the last two weeks we have to write every work (not every subject, but the most of its).
The facilities this career should have, considering just social Anthropology, it is just MONEY, ok, not just money, but mainly it is. Add subjects aplicated and money to go work on the field. We only do this kind of work like one week per year. Also, the teaching methods are like shock doctrine in some cases, a boring person talking for more than two hours, and a little number of teachers make the class more participative and inclusive, or at least they try.

Swimming

In general, i like every kind of sport because it is easy for me to and i'am good at it. Since i was little, i been always doing different sports (some school activities, not in a professional way), that depended on the period of my life. The firts sport that i remember was in elementary school when i practiced artistic gymnastics and cheerleading, i don't know if the last one is a sport, but i use to practice a lot. After that, i played football for a little while but i wasn't the sport for me, i'm not that coordinated with my feet. Then i played volleyball until i had a lesson in both of my legs :(. When i get into the university i played also volleyball but the times to practiced were really bad to the way i organized my week, so i quit. And the last Sport i had trained, it is swimming. 
Swimmping, in my opinion, it is the best sport you will ever train. If you do it rigth, you should use every muscle in your body. It clarifys your mind when you are sad, bored, angry, and everything. BUT this year i went to the pool like 2 times because i had absolutely no time. When i started to train this sport, my body and my mind felt really good (i trained 3 times a week and 2 hours each day) so i really recomend to train any sport because you will feel better. 
I think that if you don't have the money, is really difficult to practice any sport. It's not like you had to have money to do it, because you can run in the streets.. but there is no culture in this area, and if you have some free time outside the eternal 8 hours of work (that most of chilean people do) people rather to rest some or work more, so it is all the sistem's fault

The best concert I've had





The best concert I've ever had was in January 2010. It was called "El Abrazo Cristal (the beer) en vivo". I was fourteen years old and I read about this concert in the news with a lot of anticipation so I got the tickets unbelievably cheap, two tickets paying just one ($16.000). The main thing about this concert was the "hug" that its name refered to, I do not remember exactly but it was something about 8 chilean artists and 8 argentinian artists, all united in one stage. Names like Charly García, Fito Paez, Jorge Gonzalez, Andrés Calamaro, Luis Alberto Spinetta, among other men, Nicole and maybe another woman were the ones who sang in this concert. 
The magic of this concert and why it became my favorite is that in the middle of the summer, when the hot is unbearable, it started to rain, not a lot but just what we needed. It was awesome because no one were prepared and it was just in the moment when Charlie was singing so he went out of control (i never really liked his attitude), any way, it was so unexpected and, do not forget... i only paid $8.000!

A country I'd like to visit

Recently i've been thinking on a plan for my future and it is about traveling. This plan is because I have always known that the two things that will make me truly happy is traveling and knowing places and work here in Chile to change a lot of things I can't accept as they are. So my plan is going to France, because there is a nice and awesome place to learn the language, working as a anthropologist or not, it doesn't really matters. I just want to work and learn (the lenguage and visit every place I can). Speaking French is one of the requirements to get the Swiss nationality and then i will study there something i like (related with education and sexuality) and it could be useful to work in Chile, to make a change. 
I don't really know much about this country, but i would like to live in a city with beaches and not so typical, so I don't want to live in Paris, maybe Nantes (a city i've just look up).
