MY BLOGGING EXPERIENCE

As a new experience, writing a blog in English went from a hard assignment to a good way to learn how to communicate myself, not just for this subject. I have noted that not only my writing skills have been improved, but also my vocabulary which is one of my weakest points. Well, my grammar is not that good, but is getting better; maybe, I will be more confident when I got to talk in english (I hope). I do not know what can be included in future activities like this, because this was a novelty for me, far ahead from filling boring homework and other assignments that usually involves an english class. However, I did like some aspects of writing a blog, such as the subjects; for example, I usually do not write about what I like (Glee!) or writing about my pet in that entry about a photo that I like. Maybe giving a subject choice for every blog entry would be great, because sometimes I found myself with nothing to write about. I would like to write more about music, not just what I like but going deeper, about lyric techniques, genres, singers that influenced me. Overall I found this was a good experience and a good way to learn a little bit more about expressing myself in english.

 MY FAVOURITE SERIE: Glee

My favorite series is Glee, directed by Eric Stoltz and produced by FOX. It is about a school locate in Ohio, with its typical popular guys groups (the cheerleaders or “cheerios” and the football players), and their least popular in-the-bottom group, the glee club. This club is the school choir, directed by teacher William Schuster, a former choir singer in his school days (back in the day when glee club was popular) and in his mission to keep the club alive he started to recruit more people; as an extracurricular activity he needs at least 12 members. At first, he enlists 3 cheerios (Santana, Britany and Quinn), which are covertly sent by their coach Sue Silvester to destroy the glee club, and three football players with some singing talent (Finn, Noah and Mike).

 The story revolves around the growing of Glee, how the cheerleaders and football players found a new passion in music and the love story of Rachel, an unpopular singer, and Finn, the most popular guy in school. I like this series because first, I like music a lot, I like the vocal arrangements and how other voice nuances can give a new life to older, classic songs from Queen and other great bands and singers. And secondly but no less important, because one of the chapters are based from Journey songs, one of my favorite bands.

A subject that i enjoy studying this semester

This semester I have several subjects, but my favorite by far is Instrumental Analysis Laboratory. In

this lab we put in practice what we learned before in the classroom, like measuring pH or the

concentration of an analyte using a gas chromatograph, among other techniques and methods.

We see everything covered by the previous subject, such as chromatography (both gas and high-

performance liquid or HPLC), potentiometry, elemental analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy. I like

this subject because I love to learn in a practical way; I usually get bored in other more theoretical

classes, but in this one I got to use the equipment and I learn better this way. In the laboratory I

often do a lot of things: from weighting and preparing samples, to measuring it, collecting data

and analyzing, but what I like the most is crafting the report, as I have a natural talent to do this.

Even with all of this, the only thing I do not like about this subject is the class time: is too early in

the morning (8:30 am) and I like to sleep!
