Hello everyone, in this post i'm going to talk about some changes that i think that could be to my study programme. Before starting, I have to say that I'm currently studying architecture at the University of Chile, and also I'm in my third semester on the carreer. So I might be missing some things that need to be change about the carreer.

Anyway, one of the things that I would change is the workload, which is probably the first thing you notice when you start studying architecture. Sometimes it gets to a point in which you are at the very limit in terms of time that you have sacrifice some activities, like sleeping or even having a meal, in order to finish the project. Even there're times were you have more that one assigment which have deadlines close to each other and you don't have much time left, so you have to sacrifice one of them and focus on the other. Unfortunately, finding a good solution for the current workload is going to be difficult, since the subjects have a very limited time to go through all the contents during the semester, and also, extending the duration of the carreer wouldn't be a likeable option since it would complicated to properly organize the courses in order to avoid an overload in workload, and also it would meant spending more time in the carreer.

Other thing that I would change is the usage of previous contents in future subjects. It's a matter of fact that you end up using all the knowedge that you adquire during the carreer, but it might take a while before you encounter a subject were you can actually apply said knowedge. At least for now, it feels like every subject is an isolated thing from one to another. So it would be nice to be able to use what you've learnt in a subject from next semester or at maximum next year, so you don't have to go over all the previous content because you forgot it .

    Hello Jose, I think that mental health is very important for all people and the workload that exists is horrible and inhumane in many occasions, but I hope that will change in the future

My hobby

Hello everyone, today I'm gonna talk about one of my hobbies, and that is drawing.  I have been drawing most of my life, but it was nothing serious. That was until recent years when I saw the art of  some anime series, the work of some mangakas and other online artists. Which motivated me to learn some drawing techniques to improve my drawng skills. I like drawing because one can portray the things that one likes, like for instance a character or an astonishing view. Although it can be a fun activitie to do, it can also be something frustrating since one can sometimes be disapointed with the result. I would recommend drawing to anyone, but also i would recommend to be pacient while doing it and to enjoy exploring new techniques and learning how to use certain tools. Speaking of learning, I would like to learn how to draw digitaly using a drawing tablet and also learn how to use ink and the techniques related to it while improving my drawing skills I hope that I can enjoy this ...

English Language Challenges

    Hello everyone, For the last blog, I'm going to talk about my experience learning english at university, along with things related to the language.   For me, learning english at university was quite easy for me and, in terms of difficulty, it wasn't harder than in high school. Personally, I would say that I actually like the methodology on university more than the high school one, mainly because I had the opportunity to practice speaking more.     As for the blogs, they were pretty interesting. To me it was a good opportunity to practice writing while also taking about different topics. They also were easy to get the hang of.   One of the aspects that I need to improve about my english is my pronunciation. I feel that I'm fine with grammar and vocabulary, but I cannot say the same about my pronunciation. Another aspect that I need to improve is how fluent I speak english, I feel like sometimes I get stuck while some sentences. One idea that I thoug...
