English... a headache that is worth suffering.


During to all my education, since I was in 5th grade, english was for me something unnecessary for my life. Always I knew that someday I would need it for my professional career, but in 5th grade that time was far away (too away). Nevertheless, I had an ability (or I believe that) to speak, for that reason when I was in high school went (two times) to English Camps organized by Ministry of Education. In that camps, we spoke all day in english with english speakers. It was great. Both times these persons told me that my english was good, so I felt good because they understood me even though I spoke very badly. I think they were too optimistic and positive with my English hahaha
That experience helps me with had more interest in learning the language. 
But writing always was (is) my ruin. When I wrote (write) always missing something that make sense to the idea. In other words, that I wrote (write) it is not understood. The reason may be because I write and decided to learn by intuition, just as I speak Spanish, without questioning the structure of what I say. So, it is normal that I fail too often, most of the time. But since I started university, it was necessary knew english, and knew well. So, I try my best, but failed again hahaha
Nevertheless, I have had to read many things in English about different topics, and little by little I have felt that my writing has improved and in my mind, I speak much better than before.  And of course, having to do these blogs helped me to realize what I always lack when I am writing.
In the future, I plan to persist with reading in english every time with less help of wordreference and in the future, go to some english speaking country.

Career… again

Today the topic is about the changes that I would like to apply in my career.  First of all, I will love change some subjects, not because it is bad, but it is taught for teachers that (for me) teach wrongly. I refer to academics that had a bad form to present the information for students, and finally the information did not reach to us. Also some subjects have more than one teacher, so the information came disconnected and incoherent. In fact, for that reason students really often did not go to classes.  

Other thing is about timetables. Currently I don’t have time for meeeeee because I have to do a lot of thing, like reading, reading and reading (my right eye is blinking right now). For me and lots of my fellow classmates, the time that we need to spend at university is too much. We deserve time for us, time for relaxing, time for living!


The last thing is about facilities. When the semester is finishing, students spend more time at university than at home and the hours of the day are not enough (in my case, last week I slept more time in the transport that at home…yes). I think that the curricula and teachers need to be gentler with students during the last days of the semester. The written reports accumulate, there is scarce time to sleep, students arrive late to class and are not in the mood either. The end of the semester is a bad time for us, so I think that we need special considerations to have some time less stressful.
