Reading Don Quijote @ Jardín Ayau – D51

Because we left early today, along with Isa, Pablito, and Grace, we decided to read Don Quijote out loud. We went to the Jardín Ayau and had a pleasant evening, enjoying the wonders of Miguel de Cervantes’ masterwork. We started reading from the beginning that was the prologue, then some sonnets, and finally the first four chapters. Don Quijote is something really enjoyable that leaves you a lot of teachings and anecdotes. It’s the story of human nature so every reader would have his or her own Quijote.

After the reading, we went to the MPC and encountered with Chacho, and with Isa had a very nice dialogue about many topics, including the culture building of the MPC and some fun stories about each of us. It was a very nice time for sharing and knowing a little more of each other. We left at around 8 p.m.

Some Dancing for Performing Arts and Individual Work – D33

After eating a McDonald’s McRib Menu (of course enlarged, and of course not a good idea at all) for lunch, Grace made and taught us a small choreography for us to dance it. It was a very funny time, which I think everyone enjoyed very much, including Bert and Ingrid. We decided to have like a couple of dancing classes per week in order to perfect our dancing skills. Later, we had individual work; time where I decided to read The Trivium.

Grace’s Morning Meeting, Group Brainstorming, and Individual Work – D33

Grace directed today’s morning meeting. For that, she showed us some videos about dancing. One, which I very liked, is called, To People Who Love Dance. The others were of dancing choreography of a dance show and of her own dancing.

After Agora and Bert’s instructions, we got with our groups to brainstorm about UFM’s resources. Then, we told our contributions to the whole group and put them in order. We are making a Google Doc for later putting them with a better structure and more professional for our curriculum. We end our morning with some time for individual work and a Free Cities conference, which turn out to be a presentation of a doctoral thesis about seasteading. I must say that this conference is one of the worst ones I have ever had. It was terrible, bad rhetoric and not very good arguments. If I have to say something about what I learned from this experience, is to choose wisely how I use my time and not spend it in useless conferences. Ok, maybe I did learn something else, and that is about other forms of creating competition to the government. What I really disliked was the how the conference was given.
