Post 8, Holidays imagined?

Hello again readers haha

I would like to go to as many places as possible, to travel without destination, to discover places. While there are many destinations that I would like to know through archaeology, there are many others that I would like to go to just for the sake of immersing myself in the place and becoming part of it.

For economic reasons I generally do not take vacations and much less trips to far away places, in the summer vacations I work, as a waitress, picking fruit as a seasonal worker, making Thai ice cream, taking care of children, in fact I work in whatever.

I would like to save money to be able to go to the south of Chile, I don't know where specifically, but I would like to travel the southern highway, go to Chiloé, stay a couple of days in that magical island, get involved in its mysterious stories and environment. Take some pictures at the pier of souls, you know, that magical place.

 I love the cold so I would be very comfortable, visit the mylodon cave, which I did several works and I was very intrigued by the contributions that the findings of the cave meant for science. I would also like to tour the marble caverns, the bad thing is that I would never want to leave there hahaha, what a beautiful place, just imagining it gives me chills. My last destination on the trip would be the Paine towers, I imagine how big and majestic they must look from the base. On the way back I would return to Chiloé, to feel its magic for the last time in a long time.

I imagined the trip, what a beautiful journey.

 

Fame = destruction "The Milodon Cave"

Post 7, free topic

 

 This semester I had to make several bibliographic reviews, without a doubt one of the topics that most interested me is the Milodon Cave, I think it's good to tell you a little about the interest generated by the cave and the destruction of heritage.

The Milodon Cave is located in the district of Ultima Esperanza, Chilean Southern Patagonia, about 20 kilometers north of Puerto Natales and about 150 meters above sea level.

 Several centuries ago during a reconnaissance expedition, in which a German colonist and a group of workers, discovered remains of skin and bones in an excellent state of preservation inside a cave, which aroused great curiosity, so many scientists and archaeologists developed research in the area, in order to determine the age of the piece of skin, the type of animal to which it belonged, in addition to determining the type of civilization that existed at that time. But along with the interest of the scientific community and their research, numerous looting and clandestine excavations were carried out at the site, which caused irreparable damage to the original soil. As a result, archaeological work established in the area is difficult today, limiting the possibilities of estimating the dating, contextualizing the area, the inhabitants and the extinction of the megafauna. It is important to emphasize that fame, interest, disinformation, and lack of respect for the heritage damage and hinder our work, the human being prefers to have a souvenir rather than respect the ecosystem and scientific research.

 

BLOG 10☝

In elementary and high school, until 1st grade English was super easy for me, and I liked it a lot, besides the teacher was very good, he taught very well and had good methods to increase the vocabulary and those things. But unfortunately in the second year of high school I changed schools, in that school the English teacher was very bad, everything I had learned I forgot, I stopped practicing English, my vocabulary decreased and everything changed for me in that area. Nowadays I have a hard time with English, my vocabulary is not so wide, I have a hard time understanding and reading in English.

As for the English at the university I think it is very inclusive, I like that it starts from low bases, I also like that it has a selection method where you are separated by your level of English and start teaching us from there. I personally feel that the use of Blogs is fun, it is an activity where we are allowed to express ourselves, where we write about interesting things, it allows us to get to know each other and ourselves better, it is unfortunate that because of the academic load we sometimes neglect blogging, but in particular I like the activity and I enjoy doing it. Personally, I need to improve my English in all areas, I need to learn to listen and understand English, to write it, to expand my vocabulary and to speak it. The truth is that outside of English classes I don't make use of the language, I know it is very bad, but I don't know how to put it into practice.

Give me some advice to make English part of my daily life and make it more familiar, I will be very grateful <3

Postgraduate studies

Hello! As you know from my previous posts, I am currently studying archaeology, in this discipline, when you don't have several degrees, postgraduate and doctorates you are not valued. In the future I want to do postgraduate studies to specialize in some subject of archeology, I have not decided which one yet, but I really like Egyptology, magic and religious rituals, these are subjects that have caught my attention for a long time, that's why I am currently taking an online course of Egyptology and another of magic in the Middle Ages taught by the Autonomous University of Barcelona, although it is not a big deal, I hope it will be a plus for my career in the future.

I would very much like to continue my studies full time abroad, in prestigious universities, places where I have never been, where my knowledge is taken seriously and where I can reflect, propose and learn knowledge with people with the same aspirations that I have, I would like to study at the University of Cambridge and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

What limits me is the economic support, so I would have to wait for scholarships, it is also difficult because of the language issue, but I hope someday to handle a language well and to be able to manage abroad without problems, to be an influential person within the discipline.
