Post 7 - A career-related website / an expert on your field

As I said on my first post about my autobiography, I am an Theory and History of Arts student and I am on my forth year. My career is mostly about investigating certain topics like for example artists, eras in time, movements, etc. Most of the time we research that information on secondary sources like books, encyclopedias, articles, etc. or in primary sources like newspapers from the time, interviews, speeches, etc.

The primary sources are mostly found on the library files, which used to be very difficult a while back. Now, thanks to the technology advances there are many files on the internet, The website “Memoria Chilena” has a big number of files to make studies which makes it a lot easier to do research from the comfort of your home, beside of having lots and lots of pictures which you can see not having to worry about damaging the material of the text.
I really recommend that website para everyone who needs to investigate and have no time to go to the library.

Post 6 - What's your favourite TV show / film?

Imagen
On this post I am going to talk about one of my favorite tv shows, which started being absolutely perfect and ended with a horrible last season which lead me to a deep depression: Game of Thrones. Game of thrones is an English fantasy show based on the heroic novel written by George R.R Martin “A Song of Ice and Fire”. It is situated in a fictional world known as Westeros, there is a throne made with a thousand swords where only the king of the seven kingdoms can sit. Starting from here and after an historical moment known as “Robert’s Rebellion” (head of the House Baratheon) when the throne is taken from the Targaryen family (The house of the dragons) by killing every single one of them except for the two youngest children of King Aerys II (the mad king). The show starts 15 years after those events, where different individuals from the most important noble houses fight to conquer the throne. Personally I liked the show because of the way the characters are present, not dividing t

Post 4 - What are some of your favourite hobbies/pastimes?

I have two hobbies: going to the cinema and reading. The first has been my favourite for a very long time, when I was younger in school I didn't come to Santiago that often, but I used to watch movies on my computer or in my friends houses when we did sleepovers (that's something I still do time to time), but once I started studying in Santiago I got used to travel by myself, I have been able to go to the cinema once a week, mostly after class. I must admit that it is my moment to feel deeply relaxed and I really enjoy going by myself, and in very few occasions I go with my family or friends. My second favourite way to spend my time is reading and I do it mostly while I'm traveling in between the university and home (one and a half hour approx), bit I must confess that I read only s few books while I was at school and I was more of a fan of reading the summary before the Tests. My taste for reading started in the university and I hope it never ends. I read a lot and in my

Post 3- What's your favourite piece of technology?

Hello, this post is about my favourite technological device. Personally, I’m not a big fan of technology, I have never had any video games, TV screens or the latest smartphones. But if I had to choose something, it would be the internet, because of the communication and information capacity it has (it gives you access to a lot of media sources). I love the idea of being able to watch movies in the comfort of my home, especially when I don't have any money to go to the cinema.  I love that I can read manga which is very uncommon in Chile. Not many people can have access to those Japanese comics because of the language barrier/constraint, but they can be found online, already translated, for free and in HD. On the other hand, a side from the entertainment part, it is great tool for studyng, where you can find academic papers and useful investigations for my University knowledge.In my history of arts studies I have to work with mostly pictures, for example a painting in a French mus
