My Blogging Experience

Image
My experience as a blogger this semester has been really entertaining. I never understood why people wrote these things, now I understand it seriously that it's fun, it's even liberating at times to write things without much academic zeal. I also think that it has helped me a lot to improve writing and expressing my ideas in English - well, maybe not at a professional level but at least I have progressed a little bit. I don't know if I keep writing in the future, just like it takes some time to think - and translate - these post, but I would have liked to talk about gifs, why? Well, because I love them. As nothing prevents me that is what I will do next. There is something attractive in seeing images that move - they make me feel like in the world of  Harry Potter - I especially like those that have to do with rabbits or cats, or series - usually without much sense - that I like. I can spend hours watching gifs without meaning, which often makes me wonder why h

La Tierra y su entorno

Image
In my opinion this semester in my career - Anthropology- are very boring and when ask me about my favorite subject was very difficult to me decide. However I remember an elective subject  named La tierra y su entorno. This is a science's faculty subject, it deals with everything that has to do with planet Earth: the universe, its geology and some natural resources issues. The classes were very dynamic, we made many interesting discussions, and we had to make dynamic presentations as well. What I liked the most about this branch was knowing concepts and data about the planet that I had not been able to know before. Our universe and our planet is wonderful, and it still keeps so many things to discover, to find, to understand. This was one of my favorite subjects because it allowed me to marvel at nature and re-understand the social aspect with a new look. To understand that we are so much but nothing at the same time, to know moreover that we are far from understanding al

Lynn Margulis: An evolution of cooperation

Image
Although Lynn Margulis wasn't an anthropologist, If you ask me I consider seh was - and remain- a very important person in my field. She was an evolutionary theorist and biologist from U.S.A. She investigated all her -professional- life about the cells and she discovered a new way in which cells evolve, which he called evolution by endosymbiosis. Endosymbiosis is a way in which cells, and living beings in general, evolve cooperating together - instead of competing as in the theory of natural selection. How the cells obtained mitochondria according to the endosymbiotic theory She's one of my favorites scientifics because her theory opens a new way of understanding evolution, where competition is not necessary. It also refutes many social theories that war is natural and necessary. As if that were not enough, she was a very rebellious scientist - which makes me like her a lot more - she never kept any of her opinions about what she thought of the scientific a

"Enano" and me

Hello !  It's me again. Today's topic is a photograph, but not any photo, my favorite photo.   My parents took this photo on September 18th in a fonda. This picture was taken in 2013 while my brother and I played and rolled across the grass. We always have played like this, rolling along the ground and hugging, I really love my brother and this picture is my favorite for that, because it shows all we love each other , besides  it brings me very good memories  and my brother was little and tender, now he has grown and I can not hug him like the picture 😢 This is a photo of us now, it is also one of my favorites (that day we also played to spin on the grass, although we are much older). One of the most important relationships of my life is the one that I have with my brother, and I would like that as we see ourselves in these photos we will keep the rest of our lives, loving and playing.

Pets

Hi ! Hi!!  I couldn't be more delighted with the topic of today. I really love pets, the kind does't matter : dogs, cats, rabbits, sheeps. Always are so cute 💗💗  I had many pets in my life, most are dogs. But actually I have a little rabbit, my Toto ( who I've already talked about a little in the last post), and a cat, Don Gato.  My Toto entered my life 3 years ago, when I started a relationship with my actual boyfriend. She was really tiny, the size of my palm or shorter !, she grew much and now is big and fat, want to hug her.  She's my company, and is very important to me. Yet I could not live without my Toto nearby. That was my Toto when we met Don Gato is another history, a loooong history. We had a dog, Rico, who died in a very tragic accident this year, and Don Gato and he hated each other. Don Gato was a street cat and when Rico died, didn't want to leave the house anymore. He was crying all the day, he seemed to miss him. Over tim

I'm not a computer person.

I don`t have a love relationship with technology, and this post was very difficult for me. I don't know which is my favorite piece of technology, because I'm lucky if I have a computer. But then I thought about technology. Technology is not only computers and smartphones, all  man-made  creation  is, in a way, technology. Then I discovered my favorite piece of technology: Artistic brushes.  I really love painting and without a brush many creative techniques would be imperfect and terrible. Only one brush can create wonders <3  In my life, I have been accumulating a very big collection of brushes. I have a brush for each technique and my collection is growing day by day. However, I still need a long way to get all types of brushes. I want to buy now a water brush for watercolor, and start experiencing new style of  watercolor. A painting of my "Toto" made by me  My favorite model is my rabbit, and here's a painting which would not have

Physical anthropology ? Biology? Art? What career will I study?

Hi again !  The choice of this career it wasn´t easy, it was a long process.  When I was a child I want to be many different things, from dancer to neurologist while I could travel around the world I didn't care. But at around six years a videogame about dinosaurs gave me a real passion for teh paleonthology. Over time this passion focused in our own paleonthology, our body and evolution. Some time after other passion came entered my life, I really loved the visual arts. I began study differents arts in arts academies or whorkshops: I learned draw, paint, a little of pottery and gold work, and film techniques. Then when the time came I  had a hard time deciding. I didn't know if I wanted to be Anthropologist, biologist, or artist. It was a really hard decision, but the anthropology won! I needed know many things about us and in a art carrerit I could never know.  I still learn differents arts techniques and create differents handcrafts and artworks but the university is b
