English Language Challenge?

English has never been too difficult for me and I don't know why, I mean, when I was little I had a few problems to understand it, maybe was for the way that my teachers taugh it or because at that time I didn't faund it useful, but now I do.

My favorite kind of music had always been in english, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy music in spanish because I love it, but that help me to try to learn more about it, I started watching movies on their original language, videos of english speakers without any kind uf subtitle trying to understand what they were saying, that is a little difficult because they have differents accents but its funny to know that even for them it is difficult to understand each other and maybe that´s why for me it is more easy to read things in english than listen to it, write it is easy too but here and there I made a few mistakes as always. I need to improve on that and in talking/pronunciation too, but it is hard when you  don't have anyone around to help you, maybe I could ask for help to my friend who is a English teacher but that is complicated too, with all this about the quarantine and the pandemic plus the signal on my house that to do video calls or to attend to classes is very bad and makes everything more complicated and makes me angry just to think about it so lets keep going.

This days I had been using a lot my english's knowledge and skills because this week was the #10 anniversary of one of my favorite bands and the members only post in english so I have to try and keep up with them, on the other hand I also read a lot in english and even if its very embarrassing for me to admit, I usually fake interviews with myself .

To improve my skills I could keep doing what I am doing also find someone to help me on writing and in be less nervous talking in english, to trust more on my own knowledge .

I think that english it is very important in this days but also are the rest of the languages, we should not forget about our different national languages as mapuzungun.

Changes to my study programme?

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about the changes that I would like to make on my study programme, but first I'm going to clarify that to me its very difficult to go deep on it because when I chose Psychology as a career I instantly accepted the subjects that I'll be studying for the next five or more years... So make a change on that -for me- its a big deal but don't worry, I will try to do my best.

I am just a second year so its impossible everyone to know everything about how the whole programme really is, I know that I am part of the last generation having this programme and having a new one its the proof that this have a few problems on it. First, we had subjects that were not really related to the career so I would take them out and in those place I will put require courses and subjects that will help the students to write, to express themselfs and search information, subjects that will help them on their education and future. As for the co-curricular activities I dont have any problem because I dont have a job and when I need to do other thing I always find a time to do it so, that doesn't bother me. There are times when the workload its very difficult to deal with in special at the end of semester when you have to study for a test while doing works for another subjects and triying to have your head on both things.

 The infrastructure of the campus its good, I mean its not for another world but in summertime you will find a cold place to sit if you look for it and even if we are very tight in the classroom there isn't a real problem, I know some people who have to deal with a pillar that blocks the view inside the classroom so I'm fine with the structure.

I went to the computer lab like two times and that went good, they worked fine but  I did't have the oportunity to visit the other labs that I know the faculty have and that its a little sad. So to that, I would add a subject taught in the laboratories on second year to get acquainted with them, make the classes more dynamic for the students and professor as equals, less about a board and more about practice. 

 

The After-Quarantine

What I want to do after this quarentine? That is a very difficult question because in one side I would like to go out and hang out with a lot of people and in the other I would just stay in my house away from  others.

In my family quarantine united us but at the same point separate us. My mom went in march to visit my grandmother to help her and at the date she has not returned, I admit that I miss hers but I know that where she is it's safer than here. Without my mom here - as a family- we had to redistribute the chores again and that was vey boring. 

With my dad and uncle redecorate the house, it was like a episode of Extreme Makeover and in relation to it, we spend a lot of time seeing the tv shows of Home&Health taking ideas from it. I dont really "rediscovered" any other activity couse I didn't have the supplies at home to do anything and that was kinda sad. 

But the worst thing about being in quarantine has to be the online clasess, ugh. It is very difficult to me to concentrate, read the papers and do other things knowing that my neighbours are diying. My WiFi it is not the best and my laptop stopped working about five days, lucky me, I know. 

About the society, I think that SMEs and local markets  will be more appreciated by the people and that this quarantine will be a way to improve its health systems, working hours as well as the relationship with the other, be empathic.

I dont really know if bein optimistic about this whole thing called pandemia its a good or a bad thing, so I choose being pessimistic. In that way I take precautions seriously, stay in my house, wear a mask when I have to go out and defend my personal space of people who don't care about the life of others.
