Departure

As this being my only year experience the English course, I have to say that I found very interesting the use of blogs. I have to admit I was a little reticent with the idea at first, but later I really like it. Writing blogs during this semester was relaxing for me, in a way. A very different method of learning aside from my other subjects; just writing down my thoughts. Besides I like to read comments from the social media, specially YouTube, even though I never write on them. About the classes I really liked the dynamics and the little games we had, like the improvised plays or the time when we decode a messages. I like puzzles, but I was expecting more challenging exercises in terms of listening or reading, it would have been more fun I think. One aspect I'm lacking is the pronunciation and intonation, but that's my fault because I don't really like English that much, besides I don't get to use it in this part of the world. I have anyone to speak with in English and sometimes, just sometimes, was useful in the streets. Nonetheless, everyday I use it every time I go into the Internet since the good stuff is always written in this language and sometimes it's more easy to find what you're looking for if you search for English keywords.

There's something strange that happens to me all the time and I think I'm not alone in this: when I think about anything, unconsciously I start to think in English.

Spirit deficiency

This is my first year as a university student and simply I don't know very much about my choice. The only thing I know is that I hate it, as far as I know. The first thing I'd change is the disposition of the teachers when it's comes to the action of teaching. From most of them I don't feel a good mood when they transmit their knowledge. I don't feel motivated to learn in this environment of weariness, in general this is the same mood my classmates has. Maybe, in part, this could be from the place where the classes taking place: all white from the classroom and gray from the concrete, no vibrant colors, no other stimulation than the sweet voice of your teacher. A great project for the ambient of the faculty could be that the visual artists students appropriates such place and convert it in an itinerant museum, so to speak. A place that renovates it self. Even more, repair all the place and make a new layout, a better and more efficient one. I'll do it.

As I mentioned before, I think the classrooms are not an ideal place for learning and a good money support from the headquarters are urgently needed, mostly for basic reparations or for build new facilities.  

About the curriculum, there is one subject that is extremely useless or is just bad imparted. Taller de escritura. Almost three hours of just sitting and hearing two teachers debating about writing methods while you're trying not to fall sleep. Overrated teachers should be banned from everywhere. I really had good expectations on the only practical subject we have. Not practical enough, I say.
