.The last week i almost didn't sleep because i had so many test. Once of them was my first oral test in “Antropología I “ subject, and i aproved whit a 5.5. In this moment there are a celebration because we are free until the next week and all my friends of grade are have fun. The last week i also was sick, but i had feel better because I have drinked a lot of water, and it is good for the health. Other important element in the week was the rain. This year particulary, the winter has delayed a lot, but it is better ,because there are many people have pain with the consequences of earthquake and the rain is not good for them if they don’t have a ceiling. This Sunday is a public holiday and there are a lot of families that are going to the beach, this is a good instance to get out stress. I personality will see movies and see my school friends. Well , good bye and good luck for everybody =)

About an expert in my field: Marvin Harris

I don’t know too much about him, because I’m a beginner in the way of the Anthropology, but I have read a few of his works, and I think that they will be useful for my training in the carrer. Maybe he is an excellent person. Someday I am going to know it.
