THE LAST BLOG

Hello dear classmates and teacher.

This is the last blog. I´m little sad because I don´t know if I will have time to write more blogs in the near future.

Today, I want to tell you about my academic life during this semester.

What I enjoyed more in our English class was to make blogs, because I had to play with different issues and sceneries. Also, because I could tell you about part of my life, my interests and my future plans and, I could know more about you. Was very interesting for me to know your different experience and how sociology thinks.

The blog in a nice and friendly platform that allow the creation of different histories, using designs, photos and videos, so, you can make more enjoyable what you are writing. It is a modem way to create your own book, or, even more, because many people can read it immediately. Also you can edit and correct the contents It´s marvelous! I´m very happy to participated in this experience. Writing blogs helped me to develop my English, because obliged me to look new words and to tray to write better. I will try to continue practicing, and I will try to write blog sometimes. It will help me a lot.

Although I feel better writing English, I feel I need to practice much more the oral part.

It is very difficult to me to communicate in English. I can´t find the words, my mind went black or takes me long time to find the words. I would like to study more English in the future. It is very necessary to me.

In my others subjects, the English is vital. In some subjects 90% of the bibliography is in English and I have to read it in a very short time. Also, in the archaeological congress, seminars and exhibitions, every day English is more necessary. Because that, it is essential I would continue advancing in this language.

 I hope everyone will be successfully in its future plans. It was a pleasure to share with you.

Hello!

There classmates and teacher. I will tell about a job I would like to have.

 I would like to work in a public institution, where I could combine the legal issues with the archaeology. I´m thinking in the Chilean National Council of Monuments. I would like to work there no more than two years, in order to obtain experience. After that, I would like to work in an environmental consultance regarding with cultural heritage and archaeology. Also,  I would like to research about the inca lithic quarries of Chile, and the operative chain for the production of their architecture.  This is an important issue than nobody had studied before.

For me, the  most important of a job is to enjoy it, and I believe that this depends on different aspects such: 1) the laboral climate, 2) how stressing it would be, 3) how interesting would be, 4) the free time that will permit me to stay home and, 5) the salary.

My strengths are: the responsibly, my capacity to work in groups, my systematic and compromise with the job and the institution, capacity to solve problems.

Always is difficult to answer about my own weaknesses, but I think than I´m too perfectionists and I don´t like to work more than 8 hours a day.

I´m very happy with my decision of study archaeology, because allows me to do what really I like. I love field work and specially to know new sites and landscapes. The prehistoric people usually shows different environments and places, such mountains, creeks, beaches and valleys. I think that it is a privilege to work in the issue that one like, and I will work hard to find a job that will give me all what I like.  

Ritoque beach

Ritoque is located north of Santiago, around 20 km north of Aconcagua River, near Quintero port. It is a beatifull and long beach, or three kilometers long.
This place is very special for me, because all my life I spend my holidays there, with my parents and grandparents. I stood there every summer, from Christmas until the firs week of march.
 In this area  you can see a diversity of sea and landscape:  1) a forest of eucalyptus and pines, 2) a swiming pool with duck, 3) a big dune zone, 4) a rocky area, 5) a long beach with white sand, 6) the passing of the freight train, 6) the countryside  and 7) the hill zone.

I love to walk along the beach or over  the hill, looking the sea untill I arrive to the rocky area. All the area was full of archaeological sites, with a lot of pottery and stone material in the surface. I love to see this aboriginal materials and to I dream how was the their life. Was in that period that I decided to study archaeology. Now, after 20 years I´m studying archaeology  and I always remember those Ritoque days.
The evangelic had there a beatifull camp and I went every night there to study bible and to play with them.  I enjoyed very much to be there and until today I have a lot of friends of this period.
Also, I liked to see the train crossing Ritoque and, I remember that in one time I travelled in the train until Mantagua. Was an incredible experience that I always remember.
