Post 2: antropo-no-logic

I got into bachillerato in 2010 and I wanted to study medicine. In there, I realized that mathematics and biology wasn’t for me, they were too difficult and I enjoyed better sociology and psychology. Because of that, I decided to study something related with social sciences or arts. In December of that year, I had to decide which career I would like to study and I didn’t know if I wanted anthropology or art theory. Nevertheless, my first option was psychology and the secretary asked me ‘are you sure?’ and I said ‘no, I’m not sure’. I changed my options and I put anthropology first.

I didn’t know a lot about it, but I like the idea that people take some decisions and sometimes they seem irrational or illogical, but they are not! Some decisions are cultural and culture doesn’t have anything to do with rationality o logic. Also, there is knowledge that is not scientific and it’s valid too, for example, the traditional knowledge. I decided Universidad de Chile only because my parents and brother studied here and they thought it was the best option for me.

Post 1: the girl, the tower and the structure

I would like to visit France. I don't know very much about it, but I would like to learn its language. Maybe it's a cliché, because everybody seems to think that french is a "beautiful language", but I don't think so. In fact, I want to learn french because some of the most important anthropologist are french and I would like to read them in their original language.

But also (yes, it is a cliché) I have been always amazed by monumental structures and I would like to know the Eiffel tower. I actually don’t know the reason why it was built, but I think it has something special and that’s why everyone is enchanted by it.

Beside the tower, I would like to visit the Louvre’s museum and contemplate La Gioconda, even if it’s not the original one. This is the most famous picture of Leonardo da Vinci and it’s said that the original is locked in a vault under the museum.
