thoughts about the work of an archaeologist
I`m studying archaeology, so the type of job is pretty obvious. How do myself proyect in that field is another thing. At Least in Chile you have two roads: academic research and environmental assessment. Although these fields aren`t exclusive between them in fact it`s difficult to work in both, first it`s a matter of time, and second usually working in environmental assessment here is it`s seein as if you were a mercenary so if you work in that sometimes it`s more difficult to later working in academic research. Okay I`m not talking about how the FONDESI affect this but is because it`s a matter to complicate.
About the work of an archaeologist, it`s diverse, you have field work (maybe the funniest part) you must working in a laboratory (in case you must review something so als ceramic, lithics, bones or microrest) and office work, maybe the most and tedious part but the most important. It`s important to say that tedious is not the same as boring, it`s tedious because the analysis in most of the cases ti`s must do with uttermost caution, and the design of research althought it can be fun it can be quit exhausting.
About me, most of the times I go to the North of our country, especialy in Guatacondo. laboratory work is not a thing i`m doing right now but i`m doing office work, in particular working with GIS.

elections
With the next municipal elections (there are held the next weekend) I question myself again if I should go vote. Ok, I question myself but I know that whatever reason against or in favor I elaborate nonetheless I will go. Why? It`s not because I think that mine vote will make a big change, nor because mine vote with others vote can make new things (okay maybe it`s do, okay more than belief I doubt, but let's move to other ideas or I will never finish this). If none candidate represent you, there isn't much sense in voting, and in that case not voting is a form of expressing that nobody represent you, but on the other hand not voting can also be interpreted as non-interest in politics. So why? Civil duty? yea, maybe that's a good reason, most of times one move by the force of duty, it's just a thing you must do, but more than that i think that the reason that move myself to vote it`s other: a historical reason. It's a right that was gained painfully, many people had to fight and die for that right, so i feel that not voting is just wasting that effort, it's a form of denial of that people. Other reason that usually helped was that my voting place was near my house, now it's changed, still near at hand, but not so close as my previous voting place.
About the qualities for running a public position I think that the most important is coherence, coherence between that they say, do, are. Maybe because that`s in what our politicians most fail. Respecting myself become a politician I think not, it`s not in mine plans, there are other forms of political actions such as assemblies where one can take part or make, democracy is more than just voting for the people that will gobern.

About the Preacher serie
let's start saying that I don`t have a favorite TV program and it`s not because I don`t like TV programs but it`s hard to define one or another so I will talk about the last TV program I had seen. The name of the program is “Preacher”, based in a comic with the same name published by DC comics, maybe it's a bit self explanatory but the program is about a preacher: Jesse Custer, who has adquired a power that allows him to defy the free will of people, because whatever he says in a specific tone it becomes a sort of command the person that hears him and must obey the command (most of the times they think that they have thought those ideas). Obviously he tried to use the power for good but sometimes the things don´t happen as he expects. About the other characters what can I say? most of them are well executed and contribute well to the program. Tulip O`Hare is Jesse`s ex and most of time tries to get him back by the excuse that they must finish a “job” (killing somebody, yep. our preacher isn`t the best example of a good preacher) and gift him doubts about been a preacher. Cassidy is a character I like a lot, he is a vampire, maybe a poor excuse of vampire, he is hidden Jesse`s church because he had done something and must hide, mostly he is used as a comic relief. Other characters you can see are the people of the town, and two angels that try to get back the power that Jesse got by accident because it`s too dangerous and defies the free will of people. About the show itself in the beginning it`s a bit hard to follow because they introduce many characters, concepts and if you didn`t read the comic you can feel a bit lost in the first episode, but latter you understand everything, also it has a good amount of comedy (sometimes a bit weird but still good) that don`t feel off.
