"English Language Challenges"

 Hello, in this post I will talk about English. I have only taken this English course at university, I think the online experience was strange, but it was fine. Obviously, I would have preferred it to have been face-to-face lessons because I think that I probably would have learned more, but all the courses this year were a bit slow and weird. About the blog, it was useful to write and organize the ideas in English because it is something that I did not do since I was in high school and I attended English classes. The aspects that I think I should improve the most in my English are grammar and speaking. I do not have a plan to improve it soon, but I would like in the future to prepare myself to do the IELTS or the TOELF. Outside of class, I consume a lot of content in English, such as series, YouTube videos, podcasts, late shows and sometimes I read books in English, if they are not translated into Spanish but actually, that does not happen frequently. I think that it was about two...

Things that I would change about my career.

 I study plastic arts and although I like my career, in general. However, there are little things that I would change. One of those things is the methodology of 2 first-year courses, art history and aesthetics because in these 2 subject people from the entire art faculty attend, so there are 300 people in a room class and it is suffocating and boring because there is a lot of time lost. If it were up to me, I would divide that subject into different smaller courses, but I would continue to maintain the mix of people from different careers because I think it is interesting to do interdisciplinary works. Concerning that, I think interdisciplinary practical subjects are deficient because the only ones there are theoretical subjects and the projects that result between people who are dedicated to different disciplines would be super interesting, besides that in usual, there are not many groups works into the career. The other thing that I would change could be to add specialities becau...

NEW LEISURE ACTIVITIES DURING PANDEMIC.

Imagen
Throughout the pandemic, I have started and stopped doing some activities. There was a time when I did exercise and yoga, but lately, I have not practised it, although I should go back to it because I felt good doing it. The activity that I have done the most and has been a constant is baking, especially sweet preparations, such as cakes, pies, cookies, etc. I have also made bread, gnocchi, pasta and pizza, but in less quantity. The recipe I have made the most is the carrot cake, but I don't have any photos, probably because at home they eat it quickly. Baking became important in my life because it relaxes me a lot, and when I'm anxious or stressed, I go to the kitchen and start cooking whatever. Although I have always cooked because I have been a vegetarian for many years and lived alone before the pandemic, I hardly ever cooked for fun. But cooking sweet recipes that are not as necessary as making lunch makes me relax and have a good time. Now that I can go out, I bake less b...

Two and four-legged friends

Imagen
 As far as I remember, at my parent's house, we used to have dogs, but they weren't really my pets, they were everyone's pets. My first pet was a hen, I don't remember if I named it, but I went to the chicken coop every day to collect the egg that she laid. Then I had a cat that we found in the neighbourhood with my brother. Her name was Lily. It was the first cat I had, so consequently, I guess from that moment on, I am a cat person. She died after a fight with my neighbour's dog, which was a huge Akita, and it was so depressing because after the fight she just ran away and didn't come back. And my current pet is a cat. She is 9 years old. I've had her since she was a baby because I adopted her when a friend's cat had kittens. She is very fluffy and soft, that's why it's great to do caress. When I can't fall asleep and also it's too late, she gets on top of me and purrs to make me sleep. She is super cute. I love her very much, even if s...

The best concert ever

Imagen
One of the best concerts that I have been to was Homeshake in 2017, at the "Primavera F auna" festival in the Espacio Broadway. I saw many bands because there were 4 stages, I think, but at that time I was super obsessed with Homeshake, I listened to it all the time. Homeshake is the solo musical project of Montreal-based singer-songwriter and musician Peter Sagar. The music made by Homeshake is like a mix of indie, psychedelic, soul and lo-fi with a lot of synths and pedals. The best thing about the festival was that there were few people for the type of event. There they gave away food, cider and there were places to hang out. I think I like that festival because that was so calm, with a country atmosphere, straw bale, coloured flags, etc. And seeing Homeshake on live, so close to me was an amazing experience because they play with a lot of sound effects. Also, I went with a friend, hitchhiked to get there, we ate many waffles because they were free, we were ahead in almos...

Portmeirion, Gales.

Imagen
 Hello everyone!! Today I’m gonna to share with you a village I’d like to visit. I know that I should talk about a country that I would like to visit, but I don't know if I’d like to visit all Wales but i would definitely like to visit Portmeirion Village. Portmeirion is an Italian village in  North Wales . It was designed and built by the architect  Sir Clough Williams-Ellis  between 1925 and 1975.  He built the village with parts of other buildings that were going to be demolished or that were abandoned, and he took them to where the village is currently located. the villa is very colorful and looks likes a 3D collage super. the scales of the constructions are very different from each other and I think it looks very funny. If I go there sometimes, I would like to go to "festival number 6", which is an art and music festival, like Lollapalooza, but in the village, that includes live music, poetry readings, comedy, talks and other cultural ac...
