Holy Week

All along this month I've been waiting for this weekend, the Holy Week is probably my favorite holiday of the year and thats because the experiences I've live in previous years. The last to years I visited Cancun, Quintana Roo a wonderful beach in the south of Mexico with plenty of women, booze and party. I hope this Holy Week won't let me down, even though I'll not visit Cancun this time. This year is my first Holy Week as a college student and I'll return to Chiapas, where my family, friends and more parties are waiting for me.

1st Partial Exams 

The past week has been one of the toughest weeks of my academic life. I don'w know why, but it seems like all of my teacher conspired to apply their exams on Monday and Tuesday, so far I have presented 4 exams and all of them where on those days. I applied math, macroeconomics, economic history and politics, the only thing I can say is that it wasn't easy. Never in my life I've felt the pressure of the school by the exception of this particular week.

Thesis Statements

THESIS STATEMENT - 

RODRIGO NUÑEZ - A01172344

Facts reveal that students should wear uniforms at school because there are many benefits of wearing them at school such as, the pressure kids could feel of wearing trendy brands, they save time when they are getting ready for school and most importantly wearing uniforms encourage discipline.


Trust is a fundamental factor in a parent-child relationship. It is one of the most delicate bond. There is no easy or fast way to trust someone or to be trusted, but it can be lost in just one second. Let´s think smart before acting because some bonds that break can never be regained.


Drinking has many effects on our body, which we can´t control if we do not moderate our drinking. When drinking, don´t drive. At the moment we may believe that we are capable because that is what alcohol makes us think but we are smarter than that. Don´t drink and drive, your familiy is waiting for you at home.


Marihuana should be removed from the criminal system and be regulated by the goverment and salubrility department. Legal prohibition of marihuana has not stopped consumers from buying it, so it will not stop dealers from selling it. By legalizing it, the job will be taken from the drug dealers and its consume will be regualted, therefore many people will be able to consume it without abusing of it.


Animal testing is used in many different industries mainly medical and cosmetic. Animals are used to ensure the products are safe for the human use, but we are not clearly thinking that animals are also a living species who deserve to live. We don´thave the right to take this privilage away from them.


Changing universities can decrease students concentration making it difficult to adapt on their first weeks by meeting new people and dealing with the change.


Endangered species protection has been created since the extinction of animals hoping to create awareness on people to take care of them.


The creation of spaceships and space missions might be the main reason to discover and explore life on other planets because we know there has been evidence of outer life visiting us.



Art museums increase students learning skills thanks to the multicultural visual art we can find in, giving them a panoramic view about the different cultures of the world instead of being on a classroom listening to the teacher.


Obesity and overweight among children is the main reason for the sale of nutritious food on schools’ cafeterias by changing their way of eating and teaching them the importance of being healthy.


Living on campus the most viable option for new students by lending them to meet people, becoming more independent and adapting to the campus.

Gambling is a popular activity among students by giving them the opportunity to win easy money and have a good time.

The use of technology in language education improves the retention capacity of students by accessing to media data and emerging interactive information.

Cosmetic surgery should be cheaper for people with health issues and not only for people who can afford it.

The English language is characterized by being the universal method of communication and a mass media exponent.


This activity helped me to improve relating ideas and converting them into thesis statements, I found it very useful because my studies requiere to make many essays.

Vikings

Recently, I've been watching the intriguing TV serie "Vikings". I found it very interesting because it is based on the real history of Vikings. Throughout every episode the main character Ragnar Lothbrok seeks to improve in every aspect of his life and generously help his fellows. The plot emphasizes the voyages of the heathens to England, a slightly more civilized country. I' ve been enjoying this show a lot because of the relation between the sudden change of culture of the invaded civilizations and what I'm living today. Certainly, is not easy when you choose to leave home and start a new life in another state or country, but I can't imagine how it would be if someone impose that to me. The abrupt invasions of Vikings certainly are a direct factor in the spreading of English language, I hope that this course will help me to complement what I'm learning watching "Vikings".
