Post 7: Changes to my study program


(FACSO, my faculty that I stil don't know)


I started the career of anthropology in 2020 and I am currently studying in the 2nd year, so I do not know the program of subjects in its entirety so I do not know if I could comment much. One thing is that I feel that the approach that is given does not take much into account the mention of physical anthropology in the early years, and is much more focused on deepening in social anthropology and a little in archeology.

That would be the big flaw that I can see with respect to the academic program, however, there are a couple of things that have bothered me throughout these intense semesters in the online mode.

One of the things that have bothered me the most in this regard is that it seems that the academic load is much heavier under this modality. Before, I studied psychology in person for a few years and although it had its difficulties like any university degree, it is the first time that I feel so tired and exhausted. Added to this, spending so much time in front of the computer screen makes me fatigue very quickly and lose interest and desire to do things a bit.

About the faculty, I would not know what to say since I only know the campus from the outside and have seen some buildings only through photos. However, I understand that compared to other faculties such as Beauchef at least the FACSO is very behind in terms of architecture, spaces and technology, so I think it would be ideal if these aspects begin to be evaluated.

The place I would like to visit One of the countries that I would like to visit the most is Japan. Japan is a country with a millenary culture and with ancient traditions, many of which date back more than 2000 years and are still very present today. It's interesting that all these traditions intersect with new technologies and more contemporary customs, which is why I consider that it's worth breathing all this tradition for oneself in its streets, cities, temples, gastronomy and people. One of the biggest things that interests me about this particular culture is everything that surrounds the manga and anime industry. Its cities are made up of giant metropolises, large buildings, people everywhere and hundreds of entertainment venues. And in turn, cities of a more traditional nature such as Osaka or Yokohama. I would like to visit all of them, as well as emblematic places such as Mount Fuji. The best thing seems to see it from afar and with perspective, for which it is

My best vacation ever

One of the best vacations I’ve ever had and that I remember mostly is a trip to Concón that we made with some friends from my previous career in summer 2019. A friend has an apartment there and it is a very special place since we generally go there every vacation since we met. That summer was particularly special because it was the first time that the whole group was together and no one was missing, so the experience itself was very nice. That time we stayed for 2 weeks and taking advantage of the proximity we also went to Viña del Mar and Valparaíso on some occasions. One of the activities that we did many times and for me is one of the most significant was to go to the Concón dunes and spend the whole afternoon talking, singing and drinking (with responsibility obviously) having a really good time together. We ended up full of sand on the way back and had to take a shower when we arrived, but seeing how the sun was hiding in the sea from the top of those dunes made everything tot

The pandemic situation

The covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a series of problems such as the loss of many jobs and adaptation to circumstances in order to survive. This situation is complex because the restriction of freedoms such as going outside is an important factor to prevent the spread of the virus, but there are people who have to be forced to go out to survive. Another problem that can be seen is the increase in the crisis in mental health, since if before there were figures that indicated that in our population there was a very high rate of depression, due to the pandemic these have increased, added to the fear generated towards the contagion. As I continue immersed in this situation, it’s difficult for me to think about what it will be like afterwards, since I see everything with a lot of uncertainty. However, I believe that some things that have been integrated into our daily lives will remain, such as the constant use of masks when we go out to the street and working by remote connection, si
