I don't really know why do I finish studing Cinema and Tv. When I was a little kid I wanted to be an archaeologist because I saw Indiana Jones and it made me want to be in that kind of places and live that kind of adventures. Then a I grew up and wanted to be a social Anthropologist ( I didn't know myself anyway, I really was an indecisive boy who convinced himself what wanted to do one thing or another without be sure about it ), but when I finally took the PSU I didn't make it,  my score was not enough, so I entered to Sociology in facso, but,I quit in the first semester.

When women took up arms to join the revolution In other way, I have studied the History of the country and I found it very interesting, in a firts place all the  pre columbian civilizations, the pyramids and the ruins you can visit.  I love the tales of the revolutión, Francisco Villa and Emiliano Zapata are great historical characters ( and again,  the music that tells the tales is awesome), and finally I would like to be close to Chiapas and the Zapati...
