Post 10: English Language Challenges

I like the blog activities more than the classes. I think it because, in the lab, I feel freer, I mean, I just write that I think, and for this I feel better. Also, through the writing I discover new forms to express that I want to say, and I try to think in English harder than when I in the classroom, because I don’t have to speak with a classmate, knowing that he or she speak Spanish better. Thus, my exercise is more focused on the grammar and vocabulary. Maybe the English class itself is more difficult for me because I were absent-minded, but in general, the subject have had a bit boring and tiring due the hour (after lunch, in the middle of the time-for-siesta). I think that I have already increased my English “abilities” a few more. Maybe, a lot more than before.

Because all the previous things, I am sure that I should improve my speaking skills. The English pronunciation sometimes becomes a big problem. It is by the afraid to do something bad, or simply to make a fool of one self. Is the lack of English conversations in the daily life, and also, the lack of listening the English language. Always I think that to stay in another country would be the things more easily, but then I realize that it would be more shocking, but faster. For now, I have to study only, because I haven’t enough money for any travel.

Out of the English class, I tried to read English texts for improve my comprehension of its. Sometimes, I try to think in English, without think in Spanish, and it always is a hard job, but after the exercise, I feel happier, ‘cause I know that I have already practiced it. I try to teach my family too, but they have more problems to learn the language.

At the moment, all looks like a big try. And I am trying and trying. Some day this will be better.

Post 9: My future job

At the moment, I haven’t a clearly panorama about my future job, but I think that with my tastes I would define my future.  The major I’m interested to get is in aesthetics, ‘cause this side of my career (theory and history of arts) is the most that I had interested during my student period. For this, I would like to have a job that be in agree with the discipline of aesthetics, it means a kind of analysis, through essays or works like that, about sensible manifestations. But, I’m not only interested in this kind of performance; also I like the creation, I mean, I would like to do things like write, paint and draw, and be happy with the “two sides” of me.

I put my personal interests over any kind of job offer, because I’ve been used to depend of myself, with the great example of my parents, that they have been always independent workers. Indeed, if someone ask me about my strengths, I will say that I am disciplined, responsible and independent. I like to study by myself the matters that I am in love, so I don't need to be pursuit to study in this sense; from hence, I think, this would be another strength of me, it is, be a passionate guy.

But, I don't believe that I will work on a job like that in the first periods of my pro career, and anyway I feel prepared to take any kind of job (related to my career) to start my worker's life.

About my weaknesses, I think I am very demanding with how should be things around and in my life. Sometimes I think I’m very demanding with myself, and I don’t think that I’ll have done, carry out or satisfy all my demands. Really, I’m an obsessive person, this is the word to describe me.
