2. WHY DID I CHOOSE MY MAJOR?

As I wrote in my previous post, when I finished school I didn't know what to study at the University.

So I started studying Civil Engineering in Mines, while I decided what to do in my future.

I entered the University of La Serena, where I learned about Kinesiology.

Which caught my attention.

So I decided to switch to studying it.

There I fell in love with laboratory work and anatomy.

I was there for a year and it was the pandemic so I decided to freeze.

I was working and since I had free time I used it to learn things that interested me and work on my own projects.

This year I had planned to enter Kinesiology at the University of Chile, but talking to my friend, I said to myself, why didn't I study what I wanted when I was a kid?

So I decided to study anthropology, because when I was little I wanted to be an archaeologist.

Currently I feel very comfortable and happy studying anthropology.

It was really what I wanted to do when I was a kid.

Talking with professors of the course and colleagues from the faculty have motivated me to work with data science, innovating in new techniques.

So I spend my free time researching and thinking XD, which is what I like.

1. WHO AM I?

Hi, my name is Andres Rivera, I'm 23 years old and I study anthropology at the University of Chile. I am from Coquimbo and I have a younger sister who is 18 years old. She also studies architecture at the University of Chile, so we are both living here in Santiago. When I was in high school I didn't know what to study at university. So she entered Civil Engineering in Mines, where she had a great time, met many friends and learned a lot. I studied engineering for two years and decided to switch to Kinesiology, where I fell in love with anatomy. In my second year of Kinesiology, the pandemic arrived, so I decided to freeze and have been working these years until now. I worked providing mechanical services in medium-sized mining, such as air conditioning in mining equipment. In the university I knew the programming which fascinated me. Getting to have a medium level of programming, being able to make Androit app and others. Although in recent years I have worked on projects more

4. MY SPECIAL PHOTO

Imagen
 I have loved photography for years. Like since I was in school. And of all the photos I've taken this one is special to me. (my mom's garden, maybe in 2018) This photo symbolizes how I started taking photos and learning about it. It represents my beginning in photography. The story behind this photo is quite curious but nothing in particular. I always wanted a manual camera (that the values can be adjusted manually) and when I bought my camera, I took it out of the box, I put the battery and a memory in it and I went out to the garden of my house to take pictures. And this is one of those photos I took. Then continue taking many photos and learning a lot, until the pandemic stops taking photos. This summer for a family trip I took pictures again with my camera. I rediscovered what photography produces in me. and that's all for this blog Thanks for reading bye

3. MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

Imagen
Hello everyone !! My favorite piece of technology is the PC. Because I can do many things with it. I use my PC to work, study and play video games. I play Day-Z. My first PC was one with Windows 98. There I learned to use a computer for the first time. I played a lot of games on it, but I also learned a lot of things. In the pandemic I used my computer a lot again. I started programming more seriously. Together with my friend we realized that we could work creating our smartphone apps. So I focused more on learning UI (user interface) design. So now it's a bit difficult for me to program XD, I lost practice. With my friend we have the goal of living in 2023 from the money generated by our apps. I would recommend using a PC if you like video games or use something that needs a lot of power. Like editing videos, making animations. But for the most common use I think it is better to use a smartphone or a tablet, since now they are very good and smaller. this is my pc
