English in the university

My experience with english at this university has not been very good, firstly because the test that designates us a level of english is taken on the day of registration, which is horrible because we are all very tired.

Secondly, I didn't like that when I tried to communicate with teachers to be able to take English 1 and thus level my english my application was rejected, which brought many problems later on, since when I started with english classes 2 I had stopped Study the language more than a year ago.

In addition, I find that the schedules that they give to english are bad, they should consider dividing the classes, a small room, a demanding class, heat, hunger and sleep for more than three hours in a row! Definitely bad thought.

However, I must rescue certain positive aspects, I liked the playful way of teaching by professor Jordán Masias, since he shows great interest in teaching. Besides that I must admit that practicing my writing through blogs has helped me too much to understand my own mistakes, for example I feel that I am now more aware of the use of tenses in english than before.

My great weakness is still speaking english, I don'

t have as much trouble reading or listening, and I have improved writing, but talking is hard for me, since it is difficult to think quickly in another language. I think I'll look for a partner who wants to practice conversations before our final test.

And out of everything academic, I enjoy watching series in English, I really like the original accent.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

I have never thought about the changes that I would like to do in my career, so this blog it’s complicated. In first place I think that the curriculum is reiterative, because we have to study courses that repeated all the content of a course from the past. For example, I have read one hundred times “Discipline and punish” by Michelle Foucault; so maybe the solution will be organize better the entire curriculum and talk about that with the teachers.

In addition, I would like the teachers considering all the workload, since this last semester have been terrible, each teacher add new work, just considering the ideal of his class, but for us that means more stress, and finally we only can submit a incomplete work.

About infrastructure and technology I think that the money that enters this university should use in our welfare. I believe that is unacceptable that in this university, considered like the best of Chile, we don’t have a good connection to internet, or an air conditioning that works or the recording equipment not reach for all students. 

mber my indignation with both curriculum of journalism that working now. Because, the equipment not reach for all the students since in this moment third and second year of journalism are coursing subjects like radio and audiovisual, so they should restructure the curriculum or get more equipment.

Finally, about the teaching methods I only want that the teachers thinking in a more entertaining ways to teach the subjects. 

Summer Holidays

Honestly, I'm never sure what I'm going to do on my summer vacation, I just hope they start soon, because my stress level is too high! So I think my first weeks will only be to sleep and rest.

My parents are separated, so I have to take turns traveling with them to take advantage of their vacations. As my mother is a teacher, she has two months off, so she usually prefers to leave for short periods, but more often, that is, two days for Pelluhue, one day for the pool and not leave the house for so many days, especially so that our cats aren't alone.

On the other hand, my father only has two weeks of vacation, so he always takes advantage of leaving a full week somewhere far away. Years ago we went to tour the south, however, I think that this year he wants to camp in the Maule mountain range. These trips are very entertaining because my father is very childish, so he likes to play outdoors, swim and tell stories in a wood fire.

I also hope to take advantage of Linares, go for a walk in the short streets of my city with my boyfriend and friends, play guitar and flute, read all the fiction books that I have left unfinished because of the university, play just dance, go to Zumba with my sister, cooking with my mom, and a host of things that I hope to achieve in such a short time.

The Strangest Dream

I don't remember any stranger dream, I think that lately my tiredness affect my memory, because always remember when I go to sleep and when I wake up. In this moment I only remember a little of my last night dream, so, I will write about it and  why I think that I dreamed it.

In my dream I was in Linares, I don't remember if I saw any street or house that make me know that I stayed there , but I felt that it was my city. I walked alone for any street, carrying a lot of lumps, I don't know where I was going, but never stopped walking. 

I started to observe the people around me and they all looked scared, suddenly, someone appear and take my lumps, the strange about that is that I didn't  did  just I stayed looking my around and how many people were assaulted in front of me, I wasn't in shock from the theft of my things, I was in shock because I was in Linares, my small and peaceful city.

The strangest thing about my dream is that after this situation I run where my parents the strangest thing about my dream is that after this situation I run where my parents was, and told them that we must leave from Linares, we don't have  to do nothing there.

When I woke up I understood that what I love most about Linares is his tranquility, and that's why in the dream I wanted to leave, it was no longer my home, it was just a place similar to Santiago, or even worse; And it's too strange to understand all that while you're asleep.
