English


I miss the English class like in high school, I always loved that class and I gave my best to have good… ok, excellent marks. So, English isn’t terrible for me.
I like this subject, but I really hate the timetable. Being in class at six in the afternoon is a punishment for me! Also, in Wednesday my classes end at noon, so wait for 6p.m it’s all an adventure.
Beyond that, I like this subject and I think that there is many aspect that I need to improve: I get really nervous when I what to talk in front of the class in English, even if I know all the words. My grammar is other thing that I need to improve, I still having small but important mistakes when I write, especially with the past tense, which is like my Aquiles’ heel.
The thing that I don’t like is blogging, I don’t like this thing of be inventing and/or thinking in what thing write and try to feet that post with the number of words. However, one time when I have an idea, write 250, 260 or 300 words is not a hard work. This time I don’t have an idea, so I’m suffering: the word count is 300 words.
Other things that I liked were the videos, they were fun, but I had no time for do they as well as I wanted. I think that this has helped me to lose a little bit of the fear of speaking English in public.
I laughed a lot with the group exercises, when we have to share a personal problem (that the teacher gave to us in a paper) and ask for some advice. I was and addicted to ketchup and one classmate was in love with a giraffe.

Me in the future

Everyone wants to have a nice work, where they can feel comfortable, where they can feel that contribute to their workplace and where they can do something that they love, something that they enjoy.
When you are growing up and especially when you are studying, one question appears:  What I’m going to do when I graduated? Sometimes, that’s a difficult question… and it was difficult for me 3 years ago. In that time, I was just begging to understand what I want to do, and then… I knew a new area of work: the corporative communications. And that’s the job I wanted for me!
This work is about carry the communications inside a company, many times the professional of this area has to make the internal/corporative magazine, crisis management, the human relationship, brand management, the relation with the mass media when the company needs it, etc. Also, in this kind of job you can have a nice schedule, like an office schedule, so, in my case, I’ll have a normal and non stressful life (yay!).
So, I wanted to learn more of this area, so until one year ago I’m doing a major in Corporative Communications.  This doesn’t mean that I’ll never be able to work in a newspaper or radio, but rather this major will enable me to work in the best way possible.
The reason that I want this kind of job is because I don’t see myself chasing news all day, working late…, in a job with no schedule, without personal life. I want to have a family, a kid, a cat and a dog, and for that I will need a job like what I mention. I want a nice office and my cup of tea every morning, pictures on my desk and stuffs like that.
