Post 1 FIRST TERM

The first term of 2009 was very intensive in all senses. The university was very exhausting and convincing about the subjects, specially “materialistic anthropology”, which deeply marked myself. I learnt a lot of new concepts and very important anthropologist from this field and all of them were very interesting, particularly the theoretical construct of some of them were really amazing. Like Marvin Harris who explain in a very rational way the incongruities of cultural practices. The other character that attract my attention was Gramsci and his ideas of the concept “ideology” in the society. Although my academic performance in a comparative way with my others classmates wasn’t very good, it was saisfactory for myself, because my life didn’t go exclusively around the university. And considering the all things I made in the social aspects was a success that I could pass all my exams and subjects and had grasped (I think) the most important from them.
Although I couldn't socialize much with my family because or I was studding (even I didn’t applied in the studies as I would like, university demand me a lot of time) or hanging out whit some friends, I think it was special in this social aspect. I meet knew people, and discovered personalities in close friends that I had never seen before.
And I almost forgot! I started swimming last term and that was incredible. I love swimming (I have always done ) and swimming for the university was a totally new experience. Even I had a challenge last april, where I won the 17º place of 50.
