Hi. My name is Beatriz Cruz López and I’m an
ethnohistorian. I studied my bachelor's degree at ENAH and then I studied a master's degree in Mesoamerican Studies at UNAM.
I'm focused in Zapotec culture and history because my family and I are Zapotecs (Unfortunately, I'm not a Zapotec speaker. But they are!). I’m currently doing my M.A. thesis, working in a research project and attending
my English classes. I don´t have many hobbies, but I like cooking, skate-rolling
(I’m a beginner), listening to music and watching TV. But, except cooking, I don't have enough time to do these activities now.
I hope to learn in this course how to write more and better. I like to write properly in Spanish, and I would like
to be able to do the same in English... one day. I think one of my challenges this
semester is to increase my vocabulary both, in general and specific topics (history,
linguistics, anthropology and archaeology). The other is to strengthen my
grammar knowledge by writing a lot, trying with different ways to express my ideas. I would like very much to be able to write a brief
paper that can be submitted to an academic journal.Thank you.
I know some people that studied at ENAH but dropped out because it was too hard. I've been there a couple of times and it is a cool school. Your ptoject sounds very interesting and it seems that you are an ambitious woman, that is great.
ReplyDeleteSee you in class,
Diego.
Thank you, Diego. Yes, that school is a place where you can enrich your life experience and learn about diversity.
DeleteDear Beatriz, to accomplish your goals, read, read and read a lot more!
ReplyDeletePlease check "working on (not "in")a research project.
Working on. OK, thank you.
DeleteHi Beatriz! I was living with an archeologist who is studying the same master degree than you, her name is Bertis Beltran, maybe you know her. I remember she had very little free time. She and I are from the same hometown.
ReplyDeleteHi Amelia! Thanks for your comment. I finished my M.A. classes last year and I think your friend Bertis was not in my group. Where are you from?
