My experience blogging


I've been writing in this blog for four months and I've enjoyed it very much. At the beginning, it was very difficult, specially because I forgot many things about speaking English, it isn't like riding a bicycle, we need to practice so we don't forget it. 

I think my writing skills have developed a lot, because now I can write in my blog faster and I can articulate my ideas more easily. Also, I need to check internet less to find words or translate them, therefore my vocabulary has grown.

In the future, I think I'll be ready to write about everything in less time, to understand better what I read in my classmates' blogs and to make better commentaries to them.

I'd like to write about different things about the University, because in this blog I'm so focused in the topic and that's bad. I'd enjoy if in the future we write about things like TV shows I like or books or places, with  more freedom. It only depends on me.

I've enjoyed this time here, specially to read my classmate's blogs, because they only share interesting topics and things about them, and I appreciate very much to learn about the interests of everyone.

Structuralism

This semester I don't have a favourite subject, all subjects are boring to me now because we have too much to read, to theorize, but we don't have moments to take it into practice.

Anyway, sometimes I enjoy the subject called "Estructuralismo" (or "Anthropology III") because the teacher, Rolf Foerster, is a very intelligent and interesting anthropologist, with many answers and knowing.
In this subject, the main content is Levi-Strauss's theory about the mental structure and kinship. From this theory we can extract many ideas and connections with other authors, who talk about the power of speech (Foucault) or feminism (Gayle Rubin). 

I like this subject because it makes me feel too much interested and I can imagine the contents taken into practice. It makes me reflect about the topics and internalize them. I feel I'm learning and specially, I'm growing in terms of my mental capacity.

I've been studying very much for this subject because is the only one that makes me more interested. Also, I have had good results, specially in my professional development as an anthropologist. The most clear sign of this is that I enjoy investigating about Structuralism and then I remember about the topic (I always forget the topics of other subjects).

Monster's University

Today I'll talk about the last movie I saw in the cinema, this is "Monster's University". I was expecting this since I saw the trailer, it was like three months ago. Since I had 9 years old I love the movie "Monster's Inc", I've seen this many times during my life and allways is different for me.

"Monster's Unviersity" is the prequel of "Monster's Inc". It talks about the childhoold and University of Mike Wazowski, a little monsters  who wants to be a "scarer" and study to much for that, but don't have the natural talent. In the University he meets Sullivan, a big monsters who came from an historical scarer family, but don't have the appttitudes to study about it. They together understand the importance of theory and practice, and also discovered that University isn't the only way to be succesful and happy. I think this is the most important thing: we can break the social rules and be satisfied at the same time.



Finally, I accept invitations to see it again.
