I don´t know what are exactly my favorites websites relaytioned witn anthropology. But I will talk about two of them that are reallya usefull.
The firts of them is http://www.anthrobase.com/
It is a simple website. It is easy to use and doesn't have too much useless things.
Anthrobase have two things that I really like of it. the first of them is that it have a log list of recently articles about social anthropology. Those articles are about a lot of topics and were written by many different authors. and the second thing that I like of the site is taht it has very usefull dictionary of anthropology terms.
The second site is http://www.aaanet.org/
That is the website of the American Anthropology Asociation (AAA). It is one of the most important organization that make anthropology investigation.
If you are a memeber, you can access to a lot of interesting articles.
The AAA publish every month many studies about a lot of topics in anthropology. And it has a lot of resources that you can use.
When I visit the Maia's blog I could read about the website of the Anthropology department of UCL (University College of London). I think that is interesting because they raises a vission of anthropology that includes the biological area. It is an holistic way to understand de human nature.
An other site that I visited was post by Daniel. It was the Mapuche International Link. I really think that is important to know something about our past. One of the principal things that anthropology must to cosider is how our roots influence our culture. So, I recomend to investigate about it, and this page is very usefull to start to read.

My weekend
Many people think that a weekend is a lot of free time for relax or sleep. My weekends are really diferent...
I will talk you about my last weekend.
Is important to say that a weekend is not just saturday and sunday. My weekend start on friday afternoon. My last friday I meet with my friends at the University. It was the birthday of one of them and we celebrate it!
Then I had to asist to a farewell of a friend. I will not see her in the next three months. I know that is not too much time, but it was important to be there to say good bye.
Late -really late actually- I went to a friend birthday. It was really funny because I could see old friends and dance a lot.
On saturday morning I went to scout.
Late, in the afternoon I played soccer in a league. My team is not very good, but is cool to play with them because is just for fun. However, we won!!!!
In the night was my father's birthday. A few people came to my house and we dinner together. Afther, i had to go to a party but I was really tired and I stayed asleep. I really wanted to go because we were going to join with my school friends.
On sunday I went to play soccer again, but this time at the university. I play in the campus team. On this match we played against the School of Public Administration, and we won.
Then, I lunch in my house and on the afternoon my family went to my house to celebrate my fathers birthday.
Just on saturday night I could study a little.

Competitive eating
1. Why did you select the article?
I just thought: Ah! This kind of things are so strange...
So I decided to investigate a little more about it. Actually, I have never seen something like it in my life, I just knew some about it at TV.
And it is funny, because when I was reading the instructions of this activity I was thinking that I was very hungry. But when I finished reading the article, I really didn't want to eat anything. It was very disgusting.
2. Did you find enough information in the article? Did you find the info you were looking for?
Yes, I found a lot of information in it. Actually I really didn´t want to know much about food, and vomit.
3. What was the most interesting thing you learnt about it?
Everything and nothing. Everything because the article was full of freak information and was very funny to know things that you can comment with your friends. And nothing because no subject was really important: they weren't news about wars, economy, sports, healthy life, science or other kind of relevant things. At last there were not really relevant for me.
4. Make a list of 15 words from the article that you found difficult to understand. Find their meaning.
Messy: marked by confusion, disorder, or dirt. It means too extremely unpleasant or trying. Both meanings are usefull to understand the sentence.
Discourage: to dissuade or attempt to dissuade from doing something
Cabbage: any of several brassicas (Brassica oleracea) of European origin
Shove: to push or put in a rough, careless, or hasty manner
Buns: a sweet or plain small bread; especially : a round roll
Rid: to make free
Hold: to keep under restraint

Cassandra welcomes you
Hello! I'm Cassandra Lafantástica and it is my first time writing in a blog.
My real name is Amalia but my artistic name is Cassandra. I used it because I don't like the idea that people could know everything about me. I really don´t like publish my information in a blog, so I invent a character.
So, maybe now you are asking to yourself: if she don´t like blogs, why she makes one?
Well, the reason is very simple: I had to create one to my English class. Actually, now I'm in the English laboratory.
I really don´t like computation. Is true! I hate words like software, CD, Powerpoint, Explorer, configuration, mouse, etc. Is hard and is difficult. Once somebody said me that a computational virus can infect me. I was afraid... So I hope that this kind of activities could open my mind and help me to overcome my trauma.
