My Reflections about this year

This year was a really bad year, i think can was the worst year in my life, because I have so many problems in my social life, in my sentimental life, with my family, with the university, with everything. The year started well, I’m part of my faculty student federation, I live out of my parents’ house, and I was in a relationship.

But during the year, some political groups in my faculty, organize a strong opposition against my faculty student federation, and for these reasons so many people hate me without knowing me, in other things I finished with my girlfriend, although that was no so bad because we have a many problems and we discuss for everything, and now we are friends and we are happy, but the bad thing was for this reason I have to go back to my parent`s house. And the last and more important thing, this year I suffer a depressive attack and that affected in my academic performance, my grades never was so bad like now.

Although this year no was the worst year in my life, because have good things too, I win the election for faculty councilor (like a congressman in the students organization) even though the opposition against my faculty students federation, and my relationship with my parents improve and now I’m happy living with they, I met a lot of kind people, and some people make my friend, and they are a very good friends, I recover an old group of friends with which I had stopped off spoke in the past but now we are really good friends, and the last but more important thing is I’m dating with a most kindly, nice, smart, and beautiful girl in this planet, and just that change the worst year in my life, in the best year in my life.

I love you so much Tupunkitty 

My Plans for Summer 

This semester i was working all days selling food in the university for raise money to vacations, because I never travel around the country with friends and all my classmates have. But, the last month all my friends tell me they have plans for this summer and leave me alone. For that now I am sad and depressive.

All years in March, my classmates spoke with me about their vacations and their travels to Peru and Bolivia, or to the south of Chile, or to other countries, and I just smile and hear, because I never travelled so far. And for that reason this year I work and raise a lot of money, now because my friends betray I can’t travel, because I don’t like travel alone. And like every years I just will go to my grandmother house in the beach, speak with my cousins, play cards and cry.

I don’t know what to do with the money I earned be; my parents told me: “save your money for the future”, but I don’t understand what the meaning of “Saving” is. Probably I spend the money in something expensive and stupid like tickets for a One Direction concert.

But there is also good news, in the last month I start dating with a very nice, kind and beautiful girl, and I really like her and love her, this girl study in Santiago but lives in the north, and at summer she go to her home, so I can spend my money traveling to the north to her house to be with her in summer, that make me a most happy person in the world.

The Problems of my ideal Job

My ideal future job is be a congressman, becouse i want make a better country, and i think the people who are now in congress just think in himselfs. But to become a congressman i have a few problmes, (better say so much problems), for postulate to congress i just need have 21 years old and participate in a legal political party or collect 36 thousand signatures, thats not a big problem, but for win i must be convince people to vote for me, and for that i need a lot of experience at least in your specialized theme, and to be a good congressman, you need experience in many other things, like understanding the problems of the people. Talking about skills, i need learn a lot of theme in special for speeches, but also discuss in laws terms, be careful in the treatment with the people and others congressmans, and so many other skills.

But the most big problem are my own fears, am i right?, is this the way?, am i acting correctly?,  i not sure of anything, but this is just a post, and i can dream with change the world.

Whatever the real most big problem is the money, for a campaing is required a lot of money, and i am studying anthropology, the lowest-paid career.

Thinking About the immortality of the Crab

In this short post we will try think about this question who humanity asked for generations… The crabs are immortals?

Crabs are a crustacean animal with six legs, which live in sea rocks near to coast. It’s very territorial specie and they fight with their claws for territory or like a courtship ritual. They feed on plankton and other algae and live approximately ten years.

The immortality is a fictitious condition that allows doesn’t death ever. In mythology the gods, and other creatures like vampires are immortals, and this condition it was a very important concept in the anthropological studies about religion.

In consideration of those two assumptions, the crabs only lives approximately ten year, for that matter, the crabs are not immortals.

But, was this a real question? The answer is no. The phrase “you are thinking about the immortality of the crab”, is just a humorous way to say you are daydreaming, used especially in the Spanish-Speaking countries. This Phrase is so popular, who was inspired poems like “inmortalidad del cangrejo” from Miguel de Unamuno, and movies like the 2000s Comedy Bolivian film “Sena/Quina, la inmortalidad del cangrejo”. 

My Best Holliday

 My best holidays wasn’t a really vacations, its just that a investigation for the universitiy, but was so relaxed like a holiday. This work was a ethnography in group about any matter and in any place, we choose the theme of artisan fishing and we travel to caleta Pellines, the place where i grown up. Went with my friends to there and show them all my favourite spots of childhood was amazing and very fun. That travel was the last year in September, i went with five classmates of wich only two was my friends, but the other three make my friends in the travel. We stay in there one week and we wolk for the beach and hills, swam in the river, play cards and go to parties, the only thing we didnt do was the investigation for university. Furthermore we talk with artisan fishers and eat fresh fish (real fresh fish), and tell histories with the people of there, a funny thing has happened was one day a friend lost in the beach, and at lest the rest of group did one hour looking for him and finnaly he had returning from the cabin.
