11/30/2010- PRESENTATIONS BEGIN.

WOW, the semester is actually coming to an end. Today is the first day of presentations for my Anthropology class and I’m veryyy verryy nervous to present. I hope I do ok. Everyone in the class has been doing a lot of interesting topics that makes mine feel so BLAHH. Oh well, it is what it is. Most of my classmates topics are very educational to a point where it involves many factual information for everyone in the whole world should be concerned with. Some talked about how we all should practice being green to also being able to recognize the anti-social network and being able cease the moment with nature. And with everything I’ve been talking about does go back to nature. Being one with it and connecting your roots, your heritage, who you are. This class has been such an amazing class in a sense that I’ve learned that there is many organizations that help you be one and reconnecting yourself with nature and also who you are. Our fields trips definitely shows that aspect and I’m glad that I’ve taken this class.

11/23/2010- GUEST SPEAKER REFERS TO TATTOOS.

Our guest speaker came and talked to us about tattoos. It wasn’t necessarily about tattoos done in shops but actually traditional tattoos of tribal meanings of your heritage. This guest speaker talked about the way they perform tattoos. And they use tools that looks very painful which I heard that pain from getting tattoos feels good. In my head I think that it’s weird that when getting tattoos many say that the feeling of getting one is good. Is that why people have so many?? I always say I’d get a tattoo but never decided if I really really want one. Maybe that will be part of my ‘TO-DO LIST’ before I turn 21 or when I am 21. Haha, we will definitely see if I’ll go through this :]]]]]

11/16/2010- MIDTERMS DUE & GUEST SPEAKER.

Our midterm is due today. And I stressed out a lot on it. Although, reading those books were very entertaining and it had so much meaning to many of us in the world. The first book is Ishmael written by Daniel Quinn had brought out thoughts in my head about the bible and how within it talks about life lessons along with advices. And with these mythical concepts that the Gorilla and the narrator were talking about tells us humans that life goes back to God because he created us all. The second book is entitled Eat Here: Homegrown Pleasures in a Global Supermarket written Brian Halweil. This book talked about how our society should look into how and where their food, vegetables, and meats come from. The author is pushing societies, our whole world to look into getting foods from our ‘local farms’ rather than in our supermarkets. 

All in all, I think I constructed my midterm paper very well and I hope that I’ve gotten a good grade on it because I’ve worked really hard and excelled myself to get a good grade :]]]. With out guest speaker Ramsey, I thought was very interesting. He talked about connecting yourself back to nature. He gave us a talk about ‘Messages in Water’ which was cool. It made me think about how it could also lean towards what God wants you to know or what he’s telling you with water imprints and so forth which is weird but at the same time it could be another way as to reconnecting yourself in a good way. Anywho, I’ll be back soon for more postings about my experiences in my Anthropology class.

11/02/2010- MIDTERM.

So, today we've got our midterms for our Anthropology class. And I must say that it won't be easy. I have about a week in a half to finish two books. I think I can pull it off. Our midterm is based on the reading of Ishmael and a book that refers to the way we eat. Both seem very interesting. I hope I do very well on this. Until next time...

Always,
