Postgraduate Studies

I had never thought about studiyng after I graduate my actual carrer, in fact, I don't know what subjet related to my carrer I could study after I have my title. Taking all of that in consideration, I think I will not continue to study antropology after I graduate. But, however, if I had the money, I would like to study another career. I would love to study mathematics, I've always like math, ever since I can remember, I had the best grades of my entire generation in school when I was little. When I was sixteen my school made me choose an area to specailize for the PSU, they made me choose between history and science, I chose history. Because of that, I stopped having so many math classes, and I missed them very much. In my last year in school, there was a course that I could take while I was studying history, it was a calculus class, and I loved it. I thought about dedicating my life to math, but I wasn't sure what to do with my life when I was eighteen, I barely knew some stuff that I liked, and because of that I got in here, thinking that I could dedicate my life to archaeology. Now I know that it isn't really my area, I can't understand how the archeologists can write hundreds of papers saying nothing at all, I'm not saying that all archaeologists are like that though.
I would like to study here, in Universidad de Chile, because I already know the campus and the university in terms of courses and organization, but I could consider studying in another university.
After studying math, I think I could work being a teacher, I'm not bad a it I think, I am one of the assitants in the course of statistics and, in my perspective, I'm not so bad at teaching, at least whith people my age.

The Job I would Like to Have

I think I would like to have a job that doesn't take too much time of my life, because I like to live, not just force me to get up in the moring, be all day wasting all my energy to a job that I, for sure, won't like just to get some money that will cover some necessities that I maybe don't have. Truly, I don't want to have a job, I want to live. But apparently I can't live without a job. I would like it to be indoors, maybe in a laboratory, where I don't have to talk to people every day. 
I am taking a major on Biological Antropology, because I kind of like biology and I can't change my career, I don't know what I want to do in life, so  I prefer to just be here.
 I would really like to travel, but not all the time, I like to have determined habits and if I travel a lot I can't have that.
If I had the opportunity to live without a job I would take it, well, only if I could not depend on other's job and money.
Anyhow, the things I can do with the major I'm takig are very limited, so I think I will aim to just ascend in the job I already have, selling overpriced cadles to people who can afford buying a candle that cost 23.600
pesos.

Election Day



Today I'm going to talk about the upcommig elections. I'm probably not going to vote, the reason why is that I don't know what are we suppose to vote now, and even if I kew, I won't vote either, because all the piliticians are basically the same, they don't represent us in any way. The majority of them are just lookig for making money out of being in a position of power. Another reason I'm not goig to vote, is because where I live it's obvious that RN is going to win, I live in a nice but not fancy neighbourhood in a very fancy district, wich is kown for very specyfic political tendencies.

I hate electoral campaigns because of basically two reasons. The first is that they use a lot of money that could be used to improve social services, like public hospitals or schools, but no, they use all that money to put their gigant faces all over the city, wastig money and resources like paper, wood and other stuff just to be thrown in the garbage after, causing a bad impact in the enviroment. The second one is that the politicians usually only appear to do somethig in the period of the electoral campaigns, but throughout the course of the year I don't see anythig being done, or even their faces, excluding some news about corrupted politicians in facebook.

The qualities that a person should have to run for a public position are essentially knowing how to handle people, not being a dishonest person, preach for the well being of the people and no for the high society, and having the real support of at least half of all the citizens, not just half of the ones that are going to vote.

I have never considered becoming a politician, I hate burocracy and I don't know anythig about handeling people, and even if I did, I think nobody would vote for me, because I am not really the stereotype of a politician.

I really don't like the electoral campaign in my district, it's obvious who is going to win, some members of my family are only going to vote because they want to show that Lavin is not the "king" of my district, but I really thik is not worth it to get up early just to see the same people win again. All I see is nothing but giant faces with empy promises.

My Favorite TV Show


My favorite TV show is Inuyasha. It's about a girl that lives in a temple, who falls into a magic well and travells to medieval Japan. She accidentally breaks the Shikon pearl, a magical object that can make true any wish. All the peices were lost through all Japan, so she has to find them all before they fall in the wrong hands, specially in the hands of Naraku, a powerful youkai. (Japanese supernatural being who usually takes de form of an animal or sometimes, if it's really powerful, a humanoid form).

The principal character is Kagome Higurashi, a normal fifteen year old teenager. She finds a hanyou, a half human youkai, that had been put in an eternal sleep in the Sacred Tree, because he wanted to use the Shikon pearl to transform himself into a full youkai. She woke him up by accident and they travelled together to collect all the lost peices of this powerfull gem. In their adveture they met a few people who joined them in order to find all the peices and kill Naraku.
It's impossible for me to pick a favorite episode, I love the majority of them, there's really not a single episode that I dislike. I really like it because the story is very interesting, it shows the mythological aspect of the Japanese folklore in a very entertaining way, even though not everything is completely accurate, for a six year old girl was enough.

The Best Concert I've Ever Seen

I haven't gone to a concert since about three or four years ago, but the last one I went to was really good, probably the best one I will ever get to see in my life. It was probably in 2012 or 2013, when I was still in school. The band, Evanescence, was one of my favorites at the time, and when I knew they where comming I begged my dad to take me to see them. He really liked them too, so it was really easy to convince him to go. When the day came, I was really nervous and excited at the same time, I was going to see the group of persons that I admired the most, and in real life, not just videos on youtube! I couldn't sleep the night before.

We arrived at the concert really early, maybe an hour or two. My dad bought tickets in one of the last rows of the Movistar Arena, because they where really expensive. They played all my favorite songs, and in the moment they played the last one I started to cry, and my really annoying dad took a video of me crying and singing really badly, a video that he still shows at family dinners just to make fun of me.
