Past, Present and Future

The Past:

In the recent past, I had some time to think about my life in general, what I want to do, the things I don't like, etc. It was a period of reflection in my life. 

The Present:

Currently, (as we only have one month of classes left) I'm working hard to pass my subjects at college, so I've been a little stressed.

The Future:

I'm not really sure about the future, I do know that I'll be working this summer, but the rest is still a mystery.

As this is the last blog of the semester, the topic this time is "English Language Challenges".

My experience with the english class this semester is pretty good, I think It was funnier than last semester's so I've liked It. I'm not sure how much my english has improve because we only had like 3 hours a week in which we were speaking in english almost the hole class. But now I know more words than before, so at least my vocabulary has increase.

I think writing blogs is really useful to practice your english, because many times happens to me that I want to say something, but I don't remember the correct word, I mean, I know plenty of words, but I don't use them really often so I just forget about them. Also, I usually forget how to write correctly the words or I get insecure about it even when I write them rightly xD So I believe writing is a good way to practice and improve your vocabulary skills even though is kind of boring.

I love watching movies, tv series and even youtube videos, so I usually watch them in english and If the vocabulary is too complicated or too technical I turn on the english subs. I also read in english sometimes, and I always listen to (and I sing too) the music I have in my cellphone which is 70% in english. So, listening and reading in english is almost a daily part of my life, but I don't really practice my speaking, I do have a few friends who speak a little of english, but we just say bad words or take english as a joke. I think should speak more in english so I guess I can try talking to myself in english sometimes.

Hi!

Today´s blog is about some changes I would make to my study programme to improve it.



The first thing that comes to my mind is that nobody teaches you how to use the computer programs (like Photoshop, AutoCad, Illustrator, etc) you need to make good architectural plans and other kinds of digital representation. I've seen many of my second year friends having troubles with that, trying to learn by themselves and wasting a lot of time on it, because the teachers don't usually teach about digital softwares, but they still expect you to know everything about it. Just a few teachers make a short class about it and they teach only the basics. I think digital representation is a really important thing to learn in Architecture, so there should be an obligatory subject dedicated to that topic in our study programme.


I like the carrer, but I really hate the fact that the academic load is too heavy so you're always stressed, you don't have enough time and It's difficult to have social life or time to spend it with your family, friends, etc. At least in my case, I feel like I can't take all of the courses I should In the semester, because I'm not sure If I'm going to be able to pass them all, so I prefer to take my time and to really learn the subjects instead of being just focus on pass all of them and not truly learning. I think It would be good to have less subjects per semester, but I don't think that's possible so I will just continue with my "method".

I also think that the infrastructure of the faculty could be better, like having one clasroom for an specific workshop, air conditioner and heating in all the classrooms, more green zones and many other things like that, but I guess that's all for this blog.
