Tom & Jerry

When I was 10 years old I used to watch Tom & Jerry every afternoon after school, it was a vice for me. This TV show, created, written and guided by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, it’s about (nowadays the program keeps on TV) the relation of a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) that live at the same house. In a normal day, Tom always try to catch Jerry and he makes traps to get him, but Jerry is suspicious and is always watchful of what Tom is doing. So basically, that’s the plot, Tom tries to catch Jerry, and the mouse contrives to get away of all Tom’s traps.

In some episodes, the owner of these animals appears on TV but, curiously, just from her neck till her shoes, never her face. In those cases, Tom and Jerry make a team and try to get away from her.

Well, now that I’m writing of this, it sounds a little bit boring, but when you start to watch it, you just can’t stop. Actually, I would still watching it, if the quality of the picture was the same when I was 10 years (I hate how is it now). But out of that, is a very funny program, and the creators won 7 oscars for their short films.

Epic photo from an epic day

This is the best photo i’ve ever took. That man was my workshop assistant of the last year, and no, he’s not drinking water.

After a complicated year, and after having so much bad and good moments with this group, on December we were all of us like brothers and sisters, including the assistants and the master. We create a very strong friendship, so when Christmas approached, we decided celebrate it together in FAU, like a real family playing secret Santa,  but the day we chose was a ‘day correction’, where we had to correct our projects… our final projects.

So we started to organize the beer day (everybody knew that ‘celebrate’ implied alcohol) and to our surprise, the teaching staff was the most motivated. That day they came with lots of Doritos, Ramitas and Papas Fritas, and some drinks and my classmates and I couldn’t enter to the classroom because the teachers were preparing all the things. When we got into the room, one of the teachers was disguised of Santa Claus and all the presents were below a paper tree.

So we started to give each other the presents, saying at the same time things that we liked of the workshop group. It was very emotional, but it did not last so long, because suddenly appeared a big Ron bottle, some wine and, obviously, the drink of the photo: tequila.

After that, everything went haywire. The teachers started to dance while they were drinking, and everyone else applauded and scream very shout, like poor monkeys.

Although I was going wrong on the workshop, it was the best day of the year.

3D printer

I'm not a big fan of technology because people don't know how to use it or use it wrong. The development of it has increased so much and we are not prepared to receive all of that.

For example, every time, the families are more separated and I have seen most of them in distressing situations, like when they are eating in a restaurant and nobody talks to each other because they are attached to the cells or tablets.

But nevertheless, technology has positive things, of course, and one of them is the 3D printer. Although I don’t have one, this is my favourite piece of technology, because of the importance that can reach. 3D printing has diverse uses, like creating different models of houses, buildings, designs and whatever, you can materialize all you can imagine, even human organs.

Yes, this is the most important achievement till now, which has been a revolution in the medicine area. One of this print is called BioBot and its operations astonishes us.

A subject I enjoy studying

I used to have history classes when I was at school and I loved it, because the way of teaching of the master was so amazing. For example, when we read about the arrival of the Spaniards to America, he acted every single thing, I mean, when they met with indians, the reaction of them and stuff like that.

But now, although I’m not with that teacher, I keep thinking that history is a great subject, because you can understand so many things trough it and is so helpful for us because from the things that have happened, we can studying them and start and invastigation looking for ‘the why’ of things. And when that happens, the person can avoid the problems that came about, which is the most important thing I’ve learned so far.

So those are the reasons why I enjoy studying this subject, although that doesn’t include that I get good marks haha…
