English Language Challenges

During this semester I have learned to participate more and practice one of the most difficult things for me, which is speaking in English, as well as listening to it. The instances of conversation among classmates and with the professor helped me a lot in that sense. I think the interaction activities were very useful.  For me, the use of blogs was the most fun of the course. I feel that at least one of my strengths is writing in english, so I have been able to dare more to write and correct some things. Also, they allowed us to practice reading english. In that aspect, I think I have improved as well. On the other hand, I think I need to improve the way I speak English. I feel like I can't coordinate the word with my pronunciation, even though some sometimes I know how to pronounce it. However, it's something that can be improved, that's why I tried to speak more during this course. Another aspect of my english that I would like to improve is grammar, as I sometimes make ...

Changes to my Study programme

So far, all the subjects that I've had in my career have been very interesting to me and my training as a psychologist, or at least I think so. I like how the subjects connect with each other and have something in common. I feel like I'm climbing a ladder where at each step I learn something new.  However, there are these co-curricular activities that include sports and other courses. I find these extra activities very interesting because they are so variable, but the university forces us to take so many as a requirement. For me, this puts extra pressure on my studies.  In terms of workload and lenght of studies I think college is taking up all spheres of my life. There are so many pdf's to read each week and it's impossible to keep up and read them all for each classes. I know I'm in college and maybe this kind of things are frequent, but I also have a life, I'm not a student all the time. This also includes teaching methods, because I feel that sometimes readi...

Postgraduate Studies

I would like to major in some area of my interest, but first I want to work for a couple of years in what I studied because I think it would be nice to get some distance from the university.  The area in which I want to do a postgraduate is educational psychology, because in this semester I was very interested in this area. The topics were amazing and learning more about them really catches my attention. Also, I think specializing in educational psychology would also mean having better tools to help others and being much better able to do your job.  If I have the chance, I would like to study in another country. It gives me a lot of anxiety to do that, but it would be a great experience because it´s amazing to know new places and see other faces, so I would do it for sure. I would like study in some kind of part-time course, because after these five years I don´t have the same motivation I had when I started studying psychology. I also want to practice my career as ...
