Summer holidays, country holidays

 

I do not usually go on vacations that often, so it’s not that easy to me to imagine what am I going to do the next summer. I usually visit someone in my family and stay with them for some days. I have two aunts living in the countryside -each one on different places-, and my cousins that live in Valparaiso.

If I have to choose between these places, I think I would prefer to visit my aunt in Nilahue, Pumanque for the next summer. I haven’t been there in years, and I really enjoy it. There’s never that much to do, but I am okey with that, if I’m there it’s to rest. I like to go to the countryside to do nothing.

Some nice things of that place are the animals. There are some farm animals, some dogs, lots of cats, and I enjoy taking care of them, it is not a heavy activity at all. Another nice thing it’s that it's not that hot, at lease not as hot as Rancagua gets in the summer, so that makes it a really great place to escape from the concrete, in all the senses of the sentence.

I also would like to go because I miss my aunt, I haven’t seen her in a long time. I haven’t seen her children, my cousins in a while, so I wolf like to see them there too, they usually visit my aunt during the summer. My mom don’t like that much the country, so I’m not sure if she would like to join me if I go.

    It is the best to be in the field, admiring nature and doing nothing haha.

    Take some time to do nothing it's something necessary, and if you can do it in the countryside, even better

    I love to scape the city, for me it´s necessary sometimes, in those moments I go to the mountains or parks like the Metropolitano.

    Hopefully you can travel soon and see your family, surely they miss you too. I understand the feeling that the field gives, sometimes doing nothing is necessary for be happy.

My future job

  Being so close to the end of my career -I’m in fourth year of sociology- one starts to think more and more often on how you are going to make a living out of what you have been learning all these years. Sociology has a very large specialization spectrum, but the labor field it’s no so wide, so the general offer is like this: a reduced group of activities in a wide field of topics. This flexibility allows you to change your area of work frequently, but most sociologist choose to specialize in a couple of topics. Considering the previous, I would like to take a major in Latin-American issues and work on that area beyond the specific activity that I dedicated myself at. For the love I have for my cultural continent and considering other personal projects I would like to work on diplomacy, and having a sociology title and a related mayor it’s a good start. The nature itself of this job attracts me. Lots of traveling (and not just “touring”), the improvement of relations between our cou

Post graduate studies: one topic, many places.

  Being near to the end of my career makes you think often on what to do after you get your title. Just get to work the quickest as possible it’s always a tempting option, but the love for learning and the fear that the labor world causes, plus the better future possibilities that offers a postgraduate degree makes it a really attractive choose. As I said on my previous blog, I have a special interest -even love, I would say- on Latin America. As such, I have the idea of studying a master or a PhD on Latin-American issues. In addition to my interest on the subject, it could give some advantage in the postulation to the Diplomatic Academy, in which I would like to enter, as I explained too on my last post. I’m thinking about taking a course at the University of Chile, at the Faculty of Philosophy, or maybe at the Alberto Hurtado University (the Society of Jesus it’s probably the institution with the strongest Latin-American tradition). Other great Latin-American universities like th

My career choice

  By the time I had to postulate to a career I already had it decided and I was absolutely confident of my decision, but it wasn’t always like That. Obviously I wasn’t born with the idea of studying sociology -some people might disagree on my view of vocation-, but I mean about the process of choosing a career on the last years of high school. My biggest interests at that time were -and still are, actually- around history, philosophy and economics. Consequently my options for an university career were between History, Philosophy, or other social science. I discarded the first two, mainly because I didn’t like the labor field that they had to offer, focused primarily on school education. The big problem I had with studying Economics, or commercial engineering, how it is called in Chile, was the monopoly of the Monetarist School of thought over the economics schools of the country, despite of the traditional political position of the universities. At one time I had the opportunity to t
