A subject that I really enjoy (enjoyed)

 

In the past semester, I have a course call “Workshop I: what the anthropologist does”, basically it teaches you what is (and does) an anthropologist thought the experience of multiple and diverse professionals. We read about them, listened what they wanted to share with us and finally with the professors we pondered.

What I more enjoyed was the very different ways and professionals that one can be and do one you graduate. And with that I learned too that anthropology is not a limited career, depending on what do you like and inspire you, is the road you can follow. (And obviously other factors like employability and the use for society defines you, but that is not the point).

Honestly, I really wasn't expecting this from the course, I imagined something more serious or technical like Workshop II that is very serious and technical. I wasn´t expecting a course that is principally reflexive.

A meal that I really like

Imagen
  The one that I can´t resist is: Sushi. A cold dish from Japan.   Originally, is made with rice, seaweed, raw fish, and cream cheese. The ingredients can be varied and can change a lot, for example my family make them special, with vegan cream cheese, vegetables, and fruits of all kinds.   And not meat. For me at least. The process to make them is easier that it seems, you just cook the rice, marinate it with vinegar, put it in a mat of bamboo, add the seaweed and your favorites ingredients, finally you roll up and then cut. What I really like from this meal, is that is bittersweet, and you can eat it with a lot of sauces. But that last part can be a little tricky for the health because the sauces can be high in salt and sugar, so sushi isn´t too healthy, even without the sauces. Is composed principally with rice, and doesn´t let the other ingredients to cope the body.

Time travel

  If we, as humans, could travel in time, there would be a lot of options, and places and different contexts. Time were we didn’t exist… I probably would be overwhelmed, but. The very first thing that I would do if the time travel exist, is to travel to the past. Reallyyyyyyy long ago. Like. When the universe was created. I’m a little obsessed with the origins of things, so the beginning of all will be my fist destination. The second, and in the same line. I would like to observe how was the Homo sapiens evolution. Find the missing links. And that would be enough for my little primate brain. I obviously wouldn’t   stay in any era. I would like to return to my time and explain what I learn (If my brain understood anyways). To the future, I believe that I would like to see very faraway too. If the life remains. In our planet or others that were create. To see if everything is cyclical, or we are just an accident in the kingdom of nothing. I believe that time travel would be a

Photo and its story

Imagen
 This picture means a lot to me, because it shows my now dead great-grandmother and grandmother very happy, and also my aunt, uncle and mother when they looked very young.  I like pictures when people who I love and care are young and free. It puts meaning to their life now, specially because we only know a little peace of their life and is hard to imagine them when their were kids, and just life their life without us.  I find it interesting too.  I don’t really know the story behind, I believe that not even my family remember when it was toked. They said that it was summer, and that they were enjoying summer. But the history behind the why it end in my hands is a little more sad and beautiful.  The day that my grandmother (the one in the picture) die, the last words that she said to me was that I have to take care of hers pictures. And that is what I do now. Take care of memories. Take care of the past.
