The English in my life

Hello again my dear readers, today I will present the last blog of the semester, in this one I would like to analyze my journey in the study of English and how I intend to use it in the future.
English is a language that is necessary to learn at this time, especially if you want to travel abroad, so I would say that this learning would be more a necessity than a taste. Personally learning English has been a somewhat difficult process, the fact of learning another language concerns much more effort and I consider that it requires a great amount of time, in spite of everything I believe that throughout the years I have managed to establish a good base of knowledge, clearly I would like to know much more, to improve my pronunciation would be something ideal, but I consider as a first need the acquisition of an extensive vocabulary, this could be achieved in the near or distant future depending on the circumstances, it is also necessary to consider a time when I am much more motivated, it is also necessary to consider the current context of pandemic where the spirits to carry out certain activities is quite low.
As I consider myself a big fan of the series, I always watch them in their original language, which in most cases is English, so I always try to repeat the pronunciation or say phrases that mention the characters I find interesting, which I also consider a different way of incorporating English into my daily life; you never stop learning about a new language.

Academic Programme

Hello again my dear readers, today I will tell you about my academic plan and what changes I would make in order to improve learning.
I would like to begin by talking about the subjects that have been taken so far, the great majority of them have provided me with knowledge that I consider necessary and useful to train a future psychologist, some of the first semester I did not consider that they were so related to this area of study, so, I would have liked to take advantage of that time to study something more related to psychology itself, as far as the teaching team is concerned I do not have much to say, they are professionals with enough knowledge and experience; the teaching methods themselves work, but they could always improve, trying to make them more didactic, trying to encourage practical activities from the beginning of the career, they would help increase the interest in learning and improve our level of preparation to train as professionals; the issue of workload depends on each subject and how much time we spend on each of them, organizing time well and generating good study habits should not become so heavy (this is a super utopian idea), practice reading and understanding are fundamental in a career like this so this should continue to be reinforced and encouraged. Based on the infrastructure of the faculty, it has both new and old structures, which does not mean something bad, we can highlight the improvements that it is having over time; in relation to the "technology" that the faculty has I do not have much knowledge since I have not had the opportunity to know the laboratory, but it is worth saying that so far I have not seen any impediment in that sense.
So far I have not felt a great level of dissatisfaction with the methodology of the university itself, but there is always room for improvement, because in the end those methods will be the ones that define us as professionals in the future.

Quarantine

Hello again my dear readers.
As it has been seen in the last months, the arrival of the coronavirus to the world has been a quite drastic factor at sociocultural level, the daily life of each person in the world in one way or another suffered changes, this does not leave me exempt, for me the confinement has been a quite difficult subject, the increase of stress and anxiety are subjects that I have had to learn to manage in a better way, in my family they have had to adapt to the change in the daily routine and to overcome the difficulties that this entails (within the possible).
From a social point of view, the arrival of this disease would allow us to redefine ourselves and question our habits as a society, the way we interact with the environment and value interpersonal relationships, but it is still too early to tell. It should be said that in this time of confinement not everything has been bad since it has motivated me to cook much more, which is something I enjoy very much.
There is also the issue of online classes which discourages me a little because you will not get the same knowledge compared to what you would get in a normal face-to-face class, but we have to adapt to the circumstances, it is clearly not an ideal situation...
I try to be quite realistic with the time of confinement, I think this is for a long time, I try to see the good side of things, but it is difficult because of the reality and circumstances that are being lived.
