Blogging

I enjoyed using the blog this semester because i think it's a dinamic activity that promotes our imagination and helps us to improve our cotidian english writing. I think the post i like writing best it was the one about the holidays because i enjoyed a lot living those experiences and it's gratifying to share it in other language.
The most boring post i think it was the one about the year's review because i had to remember thing that i may prefer to keep it quiet. I think it's important to practice the writing in english because it can be very useful in a lot of aspects of cotidian life, to read an instruction or an article in english. I like writing and being able to express myself in other languages like these one and i think it's important to know it as a matter of general culture.
I enjoy reading Miguel's blog because he posted a lot of interesting thoughts very useful for the matter of our career and he updated in the correspondant date his posts so it was the first blog in posting the issue of the day, very comfortable to get the work done efficiently.

2016 review

Hey bloggers!
This has been an intense year for me... My year started with my girlfriends celebrating in Ñuñoa's Square the New Year's Eve and dismissing a great friend that is now living and studying in the South of Chile. After that, i started dating the most awesome guy i've met: my actual boyfriend that offered me a job in the beach making sushi with him. We worked a lot and then we went togheter to Bolivia (first time on my life that i realize a trip like that) and have an amazing time there. After that my bf got into a career in the faculty of Antumapu (Agronomy) and i continued on this career. We had the strike of the student and missed classes about 2 months which i spent in the beach and exercising. But that was a serious problem for my boyfriend who also was free of classes, because that meant he won't be able to work in the summer, so he decided to quit that career and move on with other projects. 
Usually i get a fracture like 5 to 2 days before my birthday but this year was different and that was very pleasent for me, i may had a few accidental cuts but nothing serious. Maybe i didn't meet so many people this year but i got to know in more detail or deeply the persons that already were part of my life. 
On September i had the luck to travel to Lima, Perú with my daddy. Also my boyfriend to Orlando, USA while i was working with the sushi in the beach. The rest of the year went flying in front of my eyes...
Now, thing are getting a little bit complicated because this man i love and the one with i had my longest relationship is planning to go studying to the South... So, i don't know what will happened but i ain't got more choice that keep smiling to nthe life even though i0m very sad. 
On music i was very lazy this year but a few groups i met and i liked are XXXYYYXXX, Psycho Tropical Berlin and The Roots of the Chicha.
In the matters of TV and cinema i've been ignoring all premieres and dedicating my time with series that i watch online. A good one that i'd reccomend it's Steins Gate and "Boku dake ga inai machi" (that means something like "the city where only i have dissapeared")
Regards!

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci

Hi geo-classmates! If i could talk with a person who's already not here i'd like to have a one-o-one conversation with Leonardo Da Vinci. I guess you all know him, at least by name, but he was an important artist in the Renaissance humanism season in the XV and XVI century. He did a lots of thing, from arts, to study the human body and even projects of machine and weapon that already exists. I heard of him in school the first time and i was impressed with the amount of thing he accomplished in his life and the beauty of his art. I'd like to ask him who the Gioconda was, and it would be interesting to start a debate about catolicism with him, the painter of The Last Supper... If this debate goes good i would also ask him to make a paint of me and i would take a selfie with him to get him impressed. I imagine that if i were able to talk to him is because i have a time machine, so i would invite him to the present and show him the actual world situation. I'm sure everyone would listen to his comments and it'd cause chaos and awareness about the biggest issues that are conflictive now. Obviously, he may have a high criticism with the not-catholical behaviours and liberal speech of different people but i'd bring him here only if the debate i mention lead to a comprehension from him.
Cheers and see you next week!

Urban ethnography

Hello bloggers!
Today i'm gonna write you about the most interesting subject of this semester and it's called urban ethnography. The class is imparted by 3 different teacher: Paola Jirón, Walter Imilan and Carlos Lange, it has place on the Titanic (the F tower of the FAU) and it's after my General Formation Course of table tennis at 3 o'clock on Tuesday until 6 pm, just before Afro dance. It's interesting because they makje us read ethnographies written in different seasons and guide us in the process of becaming an ethnographer. I like it because is a very practical subject and it's important to participate to learn and realize all the practical activities that we do every class. It'll be useful in my professional life to understand other's opinion understanding their reality and participating in their lifes while the attention is put in the observation, imparcial and objective.
Last class, we had to write an essay that tried to approach the most it could to an ethnography. I talked about the public transport and how people behave when the use it, making a difference between bus, subway and interurban buses. Also, we had to read one of the first famous ethnographies made by Malinowsky, a french that travelled to New Guinea and studied the original people that lived there. Now, we are now reading a text of Wacquant called "Between the ropes" and the difference between these two text it's incredible and itshows somehow the advance of the antropology and sociology with the use of an instrument that was used with the object of comprehension for dominance (antropology's sin) to the comprehension of a cosmovision in orden to improve their conditions of life and have a empiric proof of their situation, I liked a lot the text of Wacquant, it's almoust a novel and very easy to read!
I totally reccomend the elective and i hope you like it too if you ever get to course it.
Cheers!
