An Interesting Series

 

Hi, the truth is that I feel very repetitive with my historical type recommendations, I think I will have to look at other things!

But this series is too good if you like history and medicine, it's called "Call the Midwife". I started watching it when I became pregnant for the first time. I needed to understand what childbirth was like and what I was going to face.

The series provides a historical and social perspective on childbirth in the second half of the 20th century in a marginalized neighborhood in England.

Created by Heidi Thomas and based in Memoirs of Jennifer Worth. The serie has 11 seasons, but on Netflix there are only 5. I hate netflix for this, it always does the same thing.

Each chapter shows the case of a woman's childbirth, which is attended by a nurse. They deal with migration, public health and sexually transmitted diseases. It is very interesting to see how the way of understanding childbirth has changed.

I recommend watching it, maybe not every season because it takes a long time. But some chapters. Independent if you want to be a mother, it is interesting the way nurses treat women, much more personalized than in these modern times.

My favorite food

  hello, today I want to tell you about the best food in the universe: French fries. First of all, potatoes are the best ingredient in the universe. Starting with that, everything that comes out of it or what is made with it will be amazing. But the best thing is French fries. The best thing about fries is that they are very easy to make. You have to peel them, or if you like them with skin, just cut them in an elongated shape. Fill a pot with oil and wait until it is very hot to fry them. I like them because they are natural and originate from the south of Chile. Chilotas potatoes are really delicious and have incredible flavors. They are so simple that they can be served with anything. Let's make one thing clear: potatoes are not an accompaniment to anything. They are by themselves. You can put ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, avocado, etc. on them. The best thing is that they are sold everywhere, and of all types! You just have to make sure it is not in a place where t...

Post 4. Changes to my study Programme

  To study archaeology at the University of Chile, one must enter a common plan that lasts two years. Then in the third year one chooses a specialization. You can choose between: Social Anthropology, Archaeology and Physical Anthropology. In my first study, in 2004, I chose Physical Anthropology. This mention has an approach that mixes anthropology and biology. It is very interesting, and in Chile it was a relatively new career, but with many innocent projections.   At that time, we had branches in medicine. I had a year of anatomy with the medical students. It was really a challenging and unique experience, because I was totally humanistic. I always say that, because really the change between anthropology and medicine is too much. The level of study is very different. You really have to have a big brain to be a doctor. Anyway... I had a hard time but I passed the courses. Currently, Physical Anthropology does not have subjects in medicine and they have adapted the contents ...

English Language, my torture

  As I said in my first class, for me English is a kind of torture. But unfortunately, I feel that it is something I have to manage, because if I don't know, I am at a disadvantage with the rest of my colleagues. Also when you travel it allows you to meet new people. Having English at the University has been a challenge because I haven't practiced it for a long time and I have a very bad base in grammar. And that has affected me a lot. I think it is very good that the university is in charge of providing the tools and basic content to level the English of their students. The level in Chile is very low and only a few have been able to reach a good level in school. I think that the university's English curriculum is good, and it covers all aspects. It allows you to know what is necessary to make yourself understood. Of course, a lot of practice is required. I don't know if I like it very much, but I imagine it's a good way to evaluate. I think I like the older...
