Anthropology v/s Money

Well today I´ve got to talk about money and anthropology, I think it´s quite a theme because most of the people who doesn´t know a lot about anthropology think that if you study this you won´t get any money or job when you come out, I don´t think so but I also think that sometimes it can be difficult to earn good money. That´s why I tried not to think about how I would earn money when I got into this degree. But now that time has pass away I have learned that if you follow the steps of Tudela you can actually earned lot and lot of money, you can have a salary of two million pesos!!! Imagine!, anyway I would hate to be like Tudela, so I suppose that I will have to search for my own road. I think that something you have to have to earn good money is a magister or something like that, and it has to be somewhere outside Chile. Well this would be for the people who want to study archeology, because if you´re a social/cultural anthropology you can work without having the title of the degree so I suppose that in that case you don´t need a magister or something like that. If you want to earn a lot of money you also have to work a lot, Most of the times Anthropology isn´t like medicine where you earn money by hour or something like that, you have to win projects from the state to do your investigations, it´s more difficult.
At this time I don´t worry a lot about money I just enjoy studying what I like, and I think that until I don´t get marry or until I don´t get my own house or children the money won´t be that important, if I get enough to buy food, pay the bills and go to the cinema in time in time. With that I will be really happy. But when I have my own children and more responsibilities the money will be more important that, because at that time I will have to care about other persons who probably won´t like anthropology as I do. And my children and husband will be more important than my career.

C ya!!! take care!!

Our faculty and things like that

Now i´m not very enthusiastic about writing but I have to so sorry if the blog isn´t very interesting or something like that. Well I have to talk about my faculty and university.
University!! Ciencias Sociales!! One of the best thinks it could ever have happened to me!!!!! It´s just so cool to dress however you want, and to think whatever you want without being discriminated, that´s something I didn´t know at my school J.
But although all things about thoughts and tastes are really cool, I think it has got lots of problems with infrastructure and thinks like that, for example the library doesn´t seems to be a library because you can´t see the books and everybody is talking and laughing or the microwaves don´t work and people can´t heat their lunch and things like that.
First steps for me would be to do a strike or something like that so the university realizes that we also need somethings not only the medicine school or beauchef, faculties that produce money, that it isn´t a thing of how much money does each faculty produce.
To be able to change these things first of all I would force the government to pay to the universities so they have enough money to pay for all this things.
On the future I would keep reclaiming for our rights and yea that would be for today…, maybe if I start writing another day my ideas would be much clearer!

Music... Music.. Music

What kind of music do you prefer to listen to?
What´s your favourite band/Singer
Have you ever been to a concert?
Do you play any musical instruments?
MUSIC!!!! Wow well until I got to university music wasn´t that important in my life. I used to listen to some but I could live without music without problems. But now that I arrived to this new world it all change, because of my bests new friends! They´re all crazy at music they can´t live without it and know I´m becoming a fan music to.
I listen to many different types of music and I couldn´t choose one among the others, it depends of my mood, when I´m stressed I love to listen to reggae music, especially Bob Marley, it´s just really relaxing and I feel as I was above the clouds with the sun falling on my face. If I´m happy I listen to pop music, like Shakira and stuff like that, although I couldn´t listen to Britney Spears, I really hate her music, couldn´t tell why but it is so.
As I can´t choose only one kind of music I can´t choose only one artist/band. Between my favourites bands are “Gun´s n roses” and Los Jaivas. Shakira use to be my favourite artist as I was a child, and I still think that she used to be really good, actually I still have some of her old songs on my Mp4, but with the time she has change so much and now she´s selling her body and not her voice. At this time I could say that Tracy Chapman and Bob Marley are my favourites singers. But I´ve never been to a concert from them or from anyone else… OH wait yea when I was I child I went to see “Pin-Pon el muñeco” my dad took me, but I can´t remember very much. I hope I´ll go to one someday, I´m sure I´ll go.
Although I didn´t listen to a lot of music I learned to play guitar, but please don´t ask me to play because I´m really a mess.

Hope you´re all fine and take care!!!

Foooood!! 4 ever!

Well eating is one of my favorite things to do!!! What could be better than having a big piece of pizza watching the lord of the rings, or “how to lose a man in 10 days?” It´s just a really good time to get relaxed. How you already could have realized one of my favorites food is pizza, specially the “Hawaiana”. Actually I love all kind of pastas, like spaghettis, lasagna canelonnis, etc. I also love ice-cream! I could eat ice-cream all days really. If I don´t want to eat ice-cream is because something wrong is happening to me. I also like salads, especially when the vegetables are fresh.
Well I can cook some things like rice, spaghettis (of course), kuchens, lemon pies. I would say that my specialty is rice. I hate white rice. It has to be with lots of different vegetables and species and with some nice souse, it can´t be dry!!! That would be just horrible. Someone wants to prove it???? Well this kind of rice also triggers me some memories, because the first time I ate it was at my boyfriend´s home before we started dating. Since then all the times I eat that kind of rice I remember that moment.
Although my specialty is rice, it wouldn´t be in my perfect dinner. If you sometime you want to go out with me the best meal you could prepare me would be:
First course: Some nice fresh salad with tomato and letters, maybe a ceaser salad.
Second course: It has to be pasta it doesn´t matter what type.
Dessert: A really big portion of ice-cream with cookies and everything

Well know i´ve got to go and write another blog!

C ya!!
