Art


 I think that art is very important because it is a way of expression, a way in what yo can say wherever you want whiteout using words. But I have to confess that I'm not an art fan. When I was a kid I really enjoyed drawing but not painting. I think that I like more some new ways of visual art like the photography or not visual art expressions like the drama or the literature. So I don't like to much to go to art museums, I get bored quickly.
I'm not good at visual art. I'm terrible at drawing or painting, maybe I don't have the talent, or maybe I have never practice it enough. But I have friend that are really good artist and I really admire them. I'm not worried about being bad at art because i really don't like it so much. I think that I have other way to express my feeling or ideas, and I also have other ways to relax.
I think that graffiti is a way of visual art, you can like it or not, but is a way to express something, maybe rage or disagreement whit something, graffiti could be also the way that people shows their identity, their likes, or their feelings in a no-usual way. It could be considered vandalism, but I think that that is part of the idea of making a graffiti.
I think that my favourite artist could be Salvador Dali, but as I say, I really don't know too much about art

Green Society

Today's society isn't really worried about our environment. We all now that is really important to protect the environment but there are a little number of persons that actually do something for it.
I believe that you can learn about environmentally friendly practices every were nowadays, the TV, the Internet the announcements in the streets, everything is talking us about protecting the environment, the problem is that we are not interesting on doing it.
That's because to really protecting the environment we have to do more that just recycling or take a bike, we should change all our lifestyle.
I have to confess that I'm not the best example of protecting the environment, I actually don't recycle in my house, I just do it if I have a specialized trash can near. I use to ride my bike to go places near of me, or walk if I can. I have never supported any eco-organizations, I think that maybe because I have never have the opportunity, or maybe I don't believe to much in all of this organizations because some of them just have political or economic goals.
I want to do something in my neighborhood to make people take conscience of the problem an take actions.
I have started to don't waste water or to walk to the places that I can do it, to put all the trash in the trash can, and to don't produce more trash that the necessary.
I think that our society must take conscience about what will happen if we don't protect the environment, and have to change their habits and to compel the authoritys and the companys in our country to do the same.

My future job

When I finish my career I would like to work doing archaeological investigations. I imagine going to an archaeological site, working in the excavation for a time, and after that coming back to the lab to work in the things that I found. After that publishing my investigation in a magazine or something like that. So I believe that my future job will be both in outdoors and in indoors, that gives makes it more interesting, is not a monotonous work, you have to travel, to come back, to work some time in the lab, some time in a office. I really want to travel as part of my job, around Chile and also to visit and work in another countries, and this job will probably require me to travel to find or to work in an archaeological site .
I thing that I will prefer to work in a university more that for the government or a company, because it gives me more freedom to chose a topic or the methods of investigation, and maybe I would like to teach some day and a university can give me the chance.
So I'm going to take a major in Archaeology in the middle of the career because is the anthropological subject that I like more, I can investigate about the past and use a lot of scientific methods.

Computer Games

I actually use my computer to play video games. It's true that It may be not a productive activity but, some times it helps me to relax.
I play my first video game when I have my first computer, I don't remember how old I was, or what game it was. Now my favourite video game are Call of duty and Pro evolution soccer. Call of Duthy is a first person shooter  game, there are a lot of editions that happends in diferent places or time, and Pes is a soccer game, yo can play whit an entire team or whit just a player, you can play against a friend or in the same team with him. I usally play it whit some friends, it's really funny because you can play against them and talk and laugh. I really don't spend a lot of time playing video games, but if I have a free time, and nothing to do it could be an option. I've never skip sleep just for play a video game, and I hope never do it.
Video games aren't a important thing in my life, I prefer a lot of things over it, like go somewhere whit my friends or spend time whit my family.

My best holidays

The last summer I went to Pichilemu. It was the best holidays so far. I went there whit four friends. We rent a nice cabin very cheap and very good located, near the beach and the town's center.
The best think that we did there was surfing. The first day we take a surfing lesson  and after that all the days of the week that we spend there we rent surfboards and surf there. Also we went a couple of days to Punta de Lobos, a beach near to Pichilemu that is one of the best surfing spots in the world. One day we also surf on there, It was really difficult to us, we was just learning and the waves there were really, really big...
Some afternoons we just walk around the town or the beach, it was really relaxing. And I recharge my batteries for this first year at the university.
I have to admit that to cook and to clean the cabin was also an adventure for us, but it was funny, and a very good experience.
We want to do it again, maybe this summer, I hope so.

Movies

I remember that when I was a child I loved a movie called The Land Before Time. It was about a little dinosaur and his friends, and a lot of adventures that they have. It was a serie of movies about it. And I saw they all.
I really like to go to the cinema, but to watch movies with a lot of special effects, maybe movies without a lot of content, but I preffer to watch more complex movies at home. 
A few weeks ago I watch a movie called "Could Atlas", Tom Hanks stars in this film. It is a really complex movie, because it shows six stories at the time, from the XIX Century, to a post-apocaliptic future, showing allways the same actors doing diferents roles. The movie talk about how the actions of a person affect other people's life now and in the future. I really reccomend it, it makes you think and is really entertaining.
I really like watching movies, and I enjoy  spending some of my free time on it.

Italy

Beautiful places, good food, and a lot of history. If I could choose any place in the world to visit I would choose Italy. I really like the historical places there, the italian food is my favourite and I have listen that the people there is very nice, so I think that I could have a very good time there.

A friend how visit Italy tell me that is a very good place to go, he visit all the country and knew a lot of pleaces and people. I also know a little about the historical places of Italy. The Roman Empire left behind many constructions, monuments, temples and other things, that tell us things about his history, and you can visit this places in Italy.

I would like to visit all this historical places that I talk about, to eat a lot of italian food, as pastas and pizza and to know people.

I would like to study there maybe for a couple of months or go to work as an archeologist when I finish my carrer, but I think that may be better to go just as a tourist to have relaxing vacations.  I hope some day I will be there.
