Post 9: Good and bad points of 2013

Well actually this year i had a good experience, because i planed a travel to Peru with 2 friends. We were supposed to meet at different times. Three weeks with a German friend (I knew him from another travel I did three years ago) and other 3 weeks with another friend, from Chile. The thing is that the second friend bailed out from the travel because he was “sick” or so he told me. At first I was angry because I thought that this was the end of it, that I couldn’t go on my own. But after facing my fears I made my first travel all alone. I felt awesome, I knew a lot of people but the best thing was that I knew a new part of myself. Another good thing is that I met my boyfriend this year and I really love him. He is very kind with me and we have a lot in common.
You could say that being in the last year of college is good, but not that much actually, because I am with a lot of work with my thesis, professional internship and the last courses. I am with a lot of stress and felt overwhelmed by the pressure, so I grew apart from some of my friends. But I know this is a part of life. Sometimes you lose contact with someone but then someone new will appear.

Post 10: English language challenges

Since my second year at the university I had a serious interest about learning english. That year I started to travel and I knew the importance of this language. All the people travelling know at least something of english, so, there is important that you can communicate. Because of that, I chose to take the english course at the university (all the courses of english are optional in my career).
I think that I could improve a lot my english. I always was good reading or understanding the language, but I was awful talking, I am a very shy person, but now I can talk a Little more and fortunately I have many oportunities to talk with people that use the english as a first language, especially this year.
Because of this I really enjoy the classes on the university, there were a lot of activity where we must to talk each other in english. Obviously I could leverage more the clase, but I think that something that all the people need to talk a better english is listening the language, this is my excuse to see many series, a lot!

The moment when we realize that we must to learnt english in the university is in the senior year, when we have to write our thesis. Almost all the information necessary to make an investigation are in english and try to do that without understanding at least a little of english would be very difficult and would take so much time.
