Changes to my study programme 

Because of the pandemic everything is closed, especially schools and universities around the world. At the beginning it didn’t affect me very much but now I’m a little disturb because I don’t know what is going to happen in the next months. We are in an uncertain moment.

So now I have online classes, I’m not so happy with them cause some of them last very much and sometimes it’s boring been sit a long time (mi neck sometimes hurts). I feel like I’m not productive or not as productive as when I was going to the university. Now I just read a paper in one day, before I just to read like two or three. I don’t have much energy and sometimes I don’t feel like doing things for college.   

The other problem it’s that I feel like I’m not learning and I think that my classmates feel the same. Probably it’s because we are very distress but I’ve trying to think that this is just a moment and then everything it’s going to be better and I hope so.

It’s not like I’m not doing anything about my assignments (I do every one) but it’s still complicated to just focus on this.

I really feel like I don’t have very much attention to pay in studies because it’s a moment were people are dying, losing their jobs, they don’t have food or a place to stay. I know that we can’t do much but I still think about it.

English Language Challenges

When I was a kid I really really really hate English, it was my worst subject at school and in some strange way the teacher always asked me questions and I’m not the most outgoing person, so it was very difficult for me. Now I think that I have more confident when I talk and write in English but my pronunciation it’s not the best.

I think that I prefer to write than to speak in English because I can write something that isn’t right but it’s not so embarrassing than speak with a bad pronunciation, but when I travel I definitely have to speak in English, so it is important for me to speak more and to be understood by others.

I love British English, I love it but I can’t understand it very well. Sometimes when I watch movies or series I have to repeat some scenes because I don’t understand. I just saw "Good Omens" on Amazon and it's very useful to improve the way I understand British English and the characters are fun.

I understand very well USA English, I have watched “Keeping up with the Kardashians” since I was little so I kind of have the way they speak but not so much, they say “like” very often when they speak. Personally, I prefer USA English and their way of pronunciation because it´s more easy for me.

Now I have been learning German and sometimes I mistake “is” with “ist” (that means “is” but in German), the pronunciation also is different even if some words are similar, so now that is a problem for me.

Personal Opinions

I think that I’m very respectful towards others people’s opinions because I want the same respect that I give to them and because of the freedom of expression. Sometimes of course some opinions make me feel angry, like when guys talk about feminism and just attack other girls, but I try to be very respectful (everybody is free to have an opinion but that does not mean I’m going to follow the way they think about certain matters). I think that If I give respect to others I want the same respect, if that doesn’t happen then I’m not going to be very respectful to them.

There are opinions that will help me and others that will me make me feel sad, angry or whatever. Opinions affect me in different ways because sometimes it’s how people said certain things, some are kind others are rude, so it’s complicated. At the same time, I always try to take these opinions in a good way and not take it to personal, but sometimes that doesn´t happen and it’s okay, there are certain things that affect us in different ways. People can say things that aren’t important to them but it will be important for us, so it’s the subjectivity that takes part here.

I just want to say that in this time people take opinions very personally and it’s good but the problem is that if you said something that the majority doesn’t like they will attack you, so I think that the freedom of expression it’s starting to falling apart.

Post Graduate Studies

 Post Graduate Studies 

Thinking about my post graduate studies in this situation it’s complicated because I don’t have certain of what it’s going to happen in the next months or in the next year. Right now I’m concentrated in finish my third year of university in the better possible way and to be with mi family and pets.  

Of course, I’ve being thinking in my educational future but not so much because of the actual situation doesn’t give me calm and I don’t know if what I want it’s going to be possible when the pandemic stops. What I have clear it’s that I’m going to continue with my post graduate studies probably in Germany because I’ve family there and it’s more easy for me to go there and I’ve been learning German. My sister is at the Heidelberg University so I think that I’m going probably there or somewhere near the state of Baden-Wurtemberg, that’s my plan.

What I’m not clear about is what I will specialize in. I think this year is a bit decisive to see in which direction I point, what I want to focus on in the coming years and in if that’s going to make me happy. Legal Psychology and Educational Psychology are my favorites but I'm not sure yet of which one is the right for me, for now that’s uncertain.

Books

Today I'm going to talk about my favorite books. I development a love for reading when I was very young. I really enjoy to read and I think that is a way to distract myself and to imagine a world that somebody has created. I think that I enjoyed this books because they tell very different stories and they are located at different times.

One of my favorite books is "Disgrace" from Coetzee, it's such a great book. It tales the story of a teacher that loses his job and has to travel to the countryside with his daughter and then he lives very bad experiences that make him change the way he see things and to be more empathic.

       

Another of my favorite books is "Crime and Punishment" from Dostoyevski. The story is about a young man called Raskolnikov and he needs money because, he is from the countryside (is very poor) and some other things, in his desperate need of money he kills an old lady and there it all start.

                                   

And my favorite favorite book is “It” from Stephen King. I love it but I didn´t read it at night because I get a little scare. The story is catching even when the book it's very very big.

Well, this are my favorite books, I hope you can read them some day and enjoyed the good things about reading.

Exercises

Exercise 2

Meditation

I think the video was very interesting and contained a lot of data that I didn't know, especially when you think about the positive effects of meditation, such as the increase in empathy, the decrease in anxiety and depression, the increase in memory, among other positive effects.

Personally, I've never meditated and when I have wanted to do it I thought that it probably will not work for me or that perhaps when I meditate it will not be successful and I will end up wasting time. But I feel that this works (many people have told me about their experiences meditating and they are very good), the problem is that I'm very impatient and sometimes that prevents me from doing certain things that could be good for me.

These days I've felt very well and calm. I know that there are terrible things happening at the moment but despair is not going to bring a quicker solution. It helps me a lot to be with my pets and spend time with my family, it makes me feel very good.

I really like the English class, so I feel very comfortable when it starts. I think I get a little nervous doing some of the exercises but at the same time the exercises help me improve the way of speaking and writing in english.

After this, I think that I'm going to start meditating even if I get a little impatient, sometimes trying new things can be something good.

A country I'd like to visit

Greece 

I would definitely go to Greece because it's so beautiful and there's so much history around this place that I love it, and of course I have a favorite place there, Santorini (a small island in the Aegean Sea).

When I was at school I read a lot of  classic books like "The Iliad" or "The Odyssey" that really call my attention about this country and I started looking for information about how the people used  to live there, their food, their culture and especially their history. The capital of  Greece is Athens and it's so majestic for me, that I really need to go. 

I would like to traveled around this country not just a place, visit The Parthenon, the islands  (Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes), eat their food and talk to people there. 

I don't think that I would live, study or work there because I see it like a place to visit and have a nice moment. 

 And not less important, I really loved Mamma Mia!!
