FIRST TERM: GOOD AND BAD POINTS

Hi everyone, this week on my blog I will talk about the first term of 2009. During these months, I can say I enjoyed very much my university life. In general, it was a good experience, interesting, very motivating in many aspects. I have learned many new things in different areas of my career: for example, among other fields, in anthropology, archaeology, sociology and the learning of the English language.

One of the most interesting activities was reading several books on archeology, anthropology and chilean prehistory. I learned about archaeological theory, fieldwork techniques, new anthropological currents around the world and about of different prehistoric societies of northern, central and southern Chile. One of the most motivating courses was the laboratory, where I learned some of the techniques of archaeological análisis. Also, I learned many new things in the course of English III: for example, among other things, give a discussion about topics developed in my career.

In the field of sports, I went regularly to martial arts classes, two times a week. In my free time was sometimes the movies and theater with my friends. Also I read two novels, one about the French Revolution and the another about the life of Edgar Allan Poe. However, my free time was very limited. Because of this my recreational activities were not many.

In general, I had success in my challenges, especially in the university. However, because the academic responsibilities of the first term of this year, I had very little time for friends and family. This was one of the worst aspects of the past months. I lost contact with friends and could not go home to my parents outside of Santiago. I think it's something negative that university life not leave time for other things. Anyway, you can not have everything in life ... or not?
