Task 11: your blogging Experience

Well I must say that in general, have tasks and work of many subject, specially when all come together, it is not always a great experience for most of us.We can ratify it specially for the recent times -the massive collapse that has led us the end of semester-. However the method of working with blogs has revived the dynamic in classes, because it is much fun to have -sometimes- the freedom to write about subjects related with our career.
I believe that despite the terrible and shocking that Monday is at the university, writing in blogs it was not a trauma, and in fact as I mentioned once, I found a different method of learning that was not as tedious as the "normal" one.
Certainly this method helped to improve my English and expand my knowledge of vocabulary in the languaje, because of not knowing all the words I had the obligation to look for then on the dictionary and in this way learn and memorize.
I can say that one of the disadvantages, was the fact that the corrections were only sent via mail and it was not the the opportunity to review class by class the corrections in general during classes, to see which were the most frequent errors that each of us committed again and again.
I know that you , miss Lourdes Barria, would want to kill me right now :P, because I know how difficult and bored was the fact to have to review each of the blogs of the students of your class, but I am trying to write according to the pattern we left :P.
The blog that was more funny to make, it was task number ten, in which we talk about our ideal job, which allowed us to abstract from the sad reality, and proyect us in areas of our preference, with all the things that we like in a job. The must boring blog and difficult to made was taske numer eight, because try to listen to and understand this character barely moving his lips, was superhuman XD .
Well after all i have to say that this subject- ingeneral- was a good experience and I hope to see you - Miss Lourdes- on english numeber 4 (the return).
good luck and enjoy you vacations =)

Task 10: My ideal Job

My ideal job would be at first one that allows me to be near my family,that was not the same thing every day, it means that I could work in an office and also make field work. This kind of job could be done as a physical anthropologist or archaeologist, maybe doing classes or working in a laboratory doing researchs on mummies about the type of food they consumed, dental wear, phylogeny, etc. and also making inquiries and collect information on field. I hope to have a job in some of this specific areas - that in this minute I do not know - which make me happy as a person and professional.
As we live in a materialistic world where unfortunately money everything moves, of course I would like to have a good salary, which allowed me to travel arround the world, have my own apartment, be independent, as well as help my parents to pay different things, like the college of my brother and be able to give them things that have never had access.
Obviously to get this ideal for this work, I hope to have a Phd in any area of my interest and a extensive experience,perhaps primarily involved in small projects or assistantships for teachers and getting some simple work at first.
I could be perfect for this kind or any job because I know that I'm a very persistent and responsible person, I like to learn and improve every day.
I think this kind of work exist, however required a lot of effort, experience and professional training that is gained over the years and through the work that you make.
=)

task 9: Favourite Subject

Well, I have to say that my favourite subjects, at least this semester, it´s Anthropology III, and it teacher is Andres Aedo.This is a dense and complicated subject, primarily teaches basic theory of our career, like historical materialism, cultural ecology, cultural materialism and others; this subjects are quite interesting, but require much study to its full understanding and subsequent implementation; also it is of considerable importance because it shows the main lines and points of view for Anthropological research.
I like because i think that our teacher has a just and comprehensive knowledge about these subjects as well as its methodology and its application through examples, which makes easier the understanding of these. But but we must admit that although it is a very interesting and useful subject for our training as professionals, it is THE SUBJECT that has made us suffer more this semester, for the large quantities and difficult reads for evaluations, but also because of the dense and extensive reflection for researchs.
But despite all the difficulties, it is a very interesting and quality subject.
