English in college

Now, talking about english.  I grew up in an english type of school, I came in knowing absolutely nothing about english, I even had a 2,1 in my first test back in 2nd grade. But I came out as one of the best students in english. That school was unique because it imitated the "gringo style" of schools, you can think of about the american schools in movies and that´s pretty much how it was, just cheaper and chilean.  Now, talking about English in college, it was good. I mean, there´s obviously topics that you never end up understanding 100%. I was never good in technicities; I prefer talking or reading than doing technical check on everything in a phrase. But it wasn´t a waste at all, I know those technicities are necessary and I´m thankful that I learned them again.  Also, the classes were fun, without having to do writing tests, the classes were dynamic even though there were times I couldn´t attend or when my classmates didn´t know how to participate.  I rea...

Changes to my study programme

 So I´m currently studying architecture . I´m not so sure about how to talk about this topic, but I do know that the programme has been changing a lot over the years because of the technology advances and protests of students around being overwhelmed with work. The teachers of "taller 2" are the ones who always talk us about previous classes that they used to have, specially the older one. I still have to study other 4 years minimum to graduate, so I think it´s probable that I will witness other changes. To give more details, I know that in the college years of the older teacher weren´t at all digitalized, and always talks about how we "have it so easy" because we have the internet, which I really think we not because most of us have "taller anxiety". So maybe times changed, but the work adapted to give us less reasons to live anyway. In other classes, I know that in physics, in previous years they didn´t have to study a lot of subjects as we do, the secon...

Food

Imagen
 I was never a picky kid, since little I was raised with home-cooked food since I was a baby. But now I have this thing that if I eat too much of one thing, even if it´s one day a week, I get so bored that I feel nauseous or disgusted by that food to the level of wanting to puke. It happened with smashed potatoes, with yougurts (My parent told me that when I was a baby, I could eat yougurt all day) then with cooked fish and then even with McDonalds burgers. But the one food I can´t get bored with, is the lasagna cooked by my father. It´s not even that gourmet because I don´t even like much the lasagna cooked by restaurants. I think the reason is because the home cooked lasagna is simplier, with less condiments, but I´m still not sure if that´s the reason. Either way, I think I haven´t eaten it for 4 years by now, but damn I really want to. I used to eat it almost every 2 weeks!
