English language challenges

In the last 3 months I´ve been in my last English course. The learning process of a new language can be intimidating at first, but as you go down the road it can mean so much more than just a “subject” you have to pass.  Obi-Wan Kenobi During my last four years of highschool I had some activities related to this subject, they were the reason why English became appealing to me. By the beginning of twenty-twenty I had finished school and therefore my studies, but then out of the blue came the pandemic. I took the year off, hoping covid would last for a few weeks, but well, we all know how it ended. Through the year I tried to maintain the knowledge I gained from the school's English courses, but I slowly began to lose interest. I didn't feel motivated, but I still read and watched things from time to time. This year things got better in a way, entering college gave me the push I needed to regain my motivation for my studies, and so I noticed all the time I wasted. Fortunately ad...

My study program

This year has been quite the learning experience. We started with online classes and, 10 months later, now we have a hybrid mix adding presenciality. Things have improved, for the most part, since last year´s performance. But there's still some factors that have been poorly managed.   This is my freshman year, so I'll talk about the online method implemented for the arrival of new students. We have teoric and practical subjects throughout the week. Workshop is our only practical subject for now, it has eleven hours in total, meanwhile teoric subjects have twelve.

It was a simple procedure, but still, classmates had problems with the system that managed the mode assignment.

Time travel to the future

Futuristic topics often mix with science fiction, the downfall of humanity, distopics worlds guided by greed. The only thing that's true, for me, is that the future is uncertain. Time is unpredictable, But what if we could foresee things? If given the chance to travel to the future, I´d like to visit my relatives and friends, just to know if everything it's okay. That being said, I want to know if any accidents had occurred during those years I skipped into the future. Why? With that information I could “prevent” those accidents in my present, be ready for them. Regarding the amount of time, 10 years into the future it's a good number. I'd stay for a couple of days just to gather information, then I'd leave. I don't like the idea of staying for too long, i´d just focus on my task and nothing else, I don't want to know about my future either, I prefer to keep it that way. Too much information may spoil some events and others, it´s something you can´t predict ...
