Self Evaluation of my academic year (2009)

Anthropology, is a career that lasts 5 years, but the first 4 are the more difficult, because the last years have only 1 or 2 subjects, for prepare the thesis. So, I think that the 4th year, is the last, in theory. Furthermore, in the end of the eighth semester, you get the undergraduate degree. For this, I think that do an evaluate of the career, and this year, is so pertinent
So, if we consider that this is my last year in the university and that next year I only must go to class for the thesis, is relevant that I make an evaluation of this academic year because this is the last in formation and I stay more close of the work world.
I understand that third year was the most important for my formation, because I think that that year I learned more, and most important things. But, I think that this year, I Have acquired the critical knowledge, and this is very important in a career as Anthropology.
When I came at the University, I thought that 5 years were very long time, and that this time would be very slow. But I was wrong. In this year I think that the career is a short and fast time , and for this, you must take it with responsibility, because when you finish, the most important thing is that you are able to do your work in correct form, and do it understanding the importance of your labor.
In this sense, a most important thing that I did this year was go to field work. I think that is in this opportunity when you can evaluate how you do the work, and how able to do it well you are. In this moment, you could evaluate how you was learn in theory, and methodological terms, and furthermore, how you agree with you real job and, in my case, with your vocation.
I think that University doesn’t prepare for do a good work as archaeologist. The career, the teachers and mentors delivered the tools for you take your own decisions, and it depends to your interest, commitment social and the importance that you think the importance that you consider having your work in your life, and the implications this may have on society.
How this years is which you study this topics, and think that is a more relevant and more reflexive, I think that is one of more important in the career. In my case, I think that this years have been very useful. Despite this, I’m not yet ready for the work, but I ‘m ready for do my best attempts.

POST 8: The World of Films

I like go to cinema, but I don’t have many time for this. Before, I was always to cinema with my boyfriend, my dad and my stepmother, but now, they don’t live in Santiago, and I do not do this.
I don’t like rent films, because I think that see movies in your house is very bored. And I don’t have time. When I’m sad, I see films. Generally, I prefer historic films, and sometimes, lovely films, but this last when I want to spend a light and pleasant time. I like too lovely and funny films, how “50 first dates”, with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. This movie I have seen 4 times, and always is fun and good.
The last film that I saw in the cinema was Harry Potter 6. I don’t like so much this movies, but I read the books, and I went to see the staging of the book. Other films that I see for these reasons are “The Lord of the Rings”. These are better than Harry Potter.
Some of my favorites films are “Finding Nemo” and “Ice Age 1”. These are for child, but are very funny and tender films. In the first, my favorite character is Dori, the fish that forget all! And in the second, I love to baby “Bodoque”, and Many, the mommouth. I recommend this film overall for kids, but always is fun for all!
Ice Age is a film about a group of hunters-gatherers of the ice age, 10.000 years ago, that lose a baby. The boy is found for three animals: a mammouth, a sloth and a smylodon. This particular group spends many obstacles, but while doing this, they meet and form a beautiful friendship. Finally, they found baby’s parents and must be separated from he. Is so sad!

Sports

I always have practiced sports. When I was a child, I practiced many sports, like ballet, dance, rhythmic gymnastics, athletics, and others. When I started my university studies, I leave to practice sports, but after a short time, I knew that I needed to do exercises. So, I turned to do, but in this opportunity I started to do Pilates.
The Pilates is a system of physical and mental training. This method was created for Joseph Pilates, who sought a mix of relaxation, concentration, balance, flexibility and toning. The method focuses on developing core muscles for balance and stabilizes body and firmness to the spine. Is very important the concentration for achieve the stability. This exercise is very used in the world, overall because everybody could practice, because is particularly good for people who need some type of rehabilitation physical or mental.
I love Pilates because I may have a time for relaxation, and at the same time toning my body. Furthermore, I’m particularly bad for the sports, and this exercise fits perfectly with my tastes and needs.
I practice Pilates two years ago, and I love other exercises too, how dance for example. See football is very funny for me, and I like too… but, I’m a fan of Pilates. I want to practice it all my life, because help it your body, your mind and your health.
I think that practice any sport is needs for your health. No just for your body appearance, but for health, your capacities, the control of your own body… And now, with unhealthy of meals, exercise care is needed.
