English Language Challenges

 

English and I are not good friends, since I was a child I had a hard time understanding it, I admit that I had a hard time at school, and I longed to go out so that I would not have this class anymore.

I admit that I didn't like it at all when I realized that I had to study English again at university, but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

The online mode was more bearable for me (especially because the class is very late and I probably wouldn't attend much if it was face-to-face, being very honest)

The idea of blogging made me a little embarrassed at first, I found it strange to write about things as if they were "influencing" haha but if I think about it, it's like any social network, where you post without thinking about it.

Well, I find that it is a good way to get to know each other and to let go a bit when writing

.

In my day In daily life I don't use much English beyond watching movies or series, that has helped me a lot to improve my English, listen to the dialogues and relate the words, now I can see "Friends" without watching the subtitles haha

I still think that I have a lot to learn, writing or reading in English is something that I still find very difficult, but above all, I want to lose the shame of speaking in English (although I admit that there are times when I speak to myself in English as a "practice" haha) that is something that makes me very nervous.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Hi! Today I want to tell you about my studies

I am currently studying Visual Arts at the Faculty of Arts Las Encinas. 

Personally I would make many structural changes to this faculty, although it is large and the sheds are spacious, the quality of its rooms is precarious. The ceilings are raining, there are not always chairs or tables and the tools needed for our learning does not always work.

 It is unfortunate to see and be in these conditions. But it is even worse for our colleagues who are in the center of the faculties of Morande and Compañía, where they do not have the appropriate space to do their rehearsals and their art.

I think it would be much more beneficial for all our artistic development if we were in the same space. (I have always believed that Las Encinas has space to receive everyone) And also if more money were injected into the school's infrastructure.

Academically I find that the mesh is quite comprehensive, you have the opportunity to move around in many areas and be free to explore, the biggest problem here, I repeat is that the basic materials and tools of each workshop do not always work or are available, making learning complicated.

In my experience, and perhaps as a good friend, I have encountered throughout my career, very talented teachers who have given their all to teach us something new.

New Leisure Activities During Pandemic

 During the quarantine, time has been abundant. We used to spend so much of it from and to places, but now that we are confined, we don’t know what to do with it. I’ve taken up chess. It helps me focus on something other than the uncertainty of the situation. Inside those sixty four squares, everything has its place and rules. While things aren’t exactly predictable, they can be controlled. When I was fourteen years old, my grandfather sat me down and passed me my first chess set. He believes that chess is a fundamental knowledge. We spent hours together; teaching me that new and exciting game. Sadly, I left my chess set in my cupboard to gather dust. Then one day, seven years later, while cleaning, I stumbled upon that old forgotten chess board. I remembered the joy that it had brought me in the past, and decided right then and there, to play once more. Now it’s me and my boyfriend, Yerko, who play together. It brings the nostalgia of a simpler time, but at the same time, takes up all my concentration. I’m proud to say that I kick my boyfriend’s ass. He is quite the sore loser, and it cracks me up every time I see his eyes desperately scanning the board, looking for a way out of my check.

I hope you enjoyed reading :)<3

Furry Companions

 Hello today I want to tell you about my furry companions 

At present, four people live in my house, three cats and a baby dog. 

Pusi

I'll start by introducing the oldest and queen of the house. Her name is Pusi and she is almost 18 years old, she came into my life when I was 4 years old. And well, like a good old cat, she eats little and sleeps all day long, but she always welcomes you with a purr 

Mamba

  Mamba follows in age. 

We found her 8 years ago in the cellar of my house. I still remember when my brother went into that small cellar upside down to get her out. Since that day, she has been in my care. She sits with me to watch movies or when I do jobs haha she's very pretty.

Tuli

  

The Lorenzo or "Tuli" for friends, is a very curious and lazy cat. He came into our lives 4 years ago. My brother found him alone at school and decided to bring him home. When he arrived he was only 2 months old and very sick. We took care of him with a lot of love and now he's the most big-headed cat in the house haha

Rumba

Last but not least, the crazy girl in the house. Rumba came into our lives a year ago and is the most energetic dog I have ever seen. She loves to bite everything she finds and steal the socks, but she has a big heart and gets happy every time you come home.

Well these are the creatures that inhabit my home which I love with all my heart

The BEST concert ever !

Hello!! today I will tell you about the day I realized my dream and went to see one of my favorite artists 

In 2017 it was announced that Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's singer) was coming to Chile in his new US+THEM tour, and my dad who is a big fan was the first to find out when and where the concert would be haha 

The concert was not until November 14 of the following year (2018) in the Estadio Nacional, so we waited 11 months for the day 

 One of my best memories of that concert is that when the song "Eclipse" was played, lights rose into the sky generating a prism-like the one in the cover of the album "The Dark Side of the Moon", that was something very spectacular to see and experience. 

 When I remember this concert many emotions come, it was a very beautiful moment that I remember with much happiness. The sound of Pink Floyd has always been in my life and that is thanks to my dad, I am very happy to have shared that moment with him. 

 We still keep the ticket to that concert in our wallets haha 

A country would like to visit

Hello everyone, the country I would like to visit, if we dream big, is Iceland.

Iceland

Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to see the northern lights, I know they can be seen from many other places, but this island has caught my attention for a long time.

I find (or rather I imagine) that it is a very beautiful country, with many natural destinations to visit, volcanoes, lakes, waterfalls.

I would also like very much to visit Tibet, see the temples and connect with that more mystical side and know its history.

Taktshang, Bhutan

 This is a destination that we always dreamed of and talked about with my grandmother, to visit Nepal and Bhutan. 

I hope to be able to visit these places on your behalf one day.

Well, these are the destinations I would like to visit actually, there are many more haha but I think these are the first ones on the list.

Thank you for reading :)
