Post ten

At beginning of the semester I decided to take English IV because of the continuation of last semester´s course, what was English III. I think that is better to keep a rhythm of learning, in every aspect, but when we talk about english, that is another language for us and we probably don’t talk it everyday.

I was accustomed to be in the English class of school, but I like much more the way that we learn here, and specially this second semester's class because the most important is just to practice and talk, and have the possibility of ask for the meanings of the words that we don’t know. Sometimes after classes I have keep speaking in English or Spanglish, just joking but even there I was exercising.

The conversations and exercises on the class were good to think about how to build a sentence or an idea and how to express it, and that is always good, either in Spanish or English or any language. I’m not great on this, but I like to read or to listen things in English and I like to understand what I’m looking. Sometimes I’m listening songs in English, and I understand a new phrase that I have ignored before maybe just for the lack of listening practice.

I really would like to learn more about English, and maybe in some moment of my life go to live to another country where I can practice and learn the language in first person, and have a better pronunciation to can express better to myself.

I wouldn’t change nothing, everything is perfect here…

Ok , it isn’t.

I don’t like to complain about everything, but sometimes is hard not to do it, and it's because usually the things are so difficult to achieve. The main problem according to me, is the lack of time, and that is mainly caused by the quantity of work given. I would like to have more time and can make good works, and not like now that I make all of my works but “so-so”.

(is not mine, I'm not that bad)

Well, it supposed that this year on Workshop the classes were going to be mixed, and for example one turn in was to be evaluated by Perception, Representation and by the architects (the work as a project), but in most of cases of teachers (excepting two or three), they have one turn in for each course previously mentioned.

Another aspect is the lack of theoretical classes about some important things, because teachers just ask for good works, but if they could dedicate just one day to really teach technical things to do better works, it would be great.

Maybe some people will kill me, but in Universidad Catolica, they have one mandatory course, just to relax and get distracted from the main career. I think that we should have that chance too, and can make some sports, or any activity that let us be more happy just for a couple of hours at week, and I’m sure that making these things everything would be easier.
