BLOG 5 - Academic Challenges 






      This year during the first semester, I must admit that all this was new for me, since it was practically a change, a very important transition between high school and higher education (university). To be honest, I had several challenges during this first part of the year, since to begin with, I missed the first 2 days of classes due to some information problems, then we started to connect through the zoom program, where I usually had many connection problems, sometimes the teacher's camera got stuck, and of course I could not forget to turn off the microphone when I stopped talking (this is something embarrassing honestly).


      And well, with respect to the subjects, it was what I expected the truth, but if I had to highlight some that cost me a lot, it would be maths and Project 1, because in itself, mathematics and I were never compatible, while project, it was not that it was difficult, the real problem was that the teacher was not very explicit when explaining some work or project, which regularly caused me confusion, (this is demonstrated by my grades). 
     Now moving on to the second semester, the first thing I can highlight is that I started off quite well, or at least I did not miss the first few days as in the previous semester. 

  
      Then about the academic performance, for now I can only mention that in general it has been more complicated than the previous one, although at the same time, I must admit that I quite liked the semi-face-to-face option, since I was able to meet several of my classmates in person (I must admit that it was a nice moment), and of course, attend my first face-to-face class at the university (Project II). So far everything is going quite well, and I appreciate the change of environment, since studying online is not the same as going face-to-face, they are completely different sensations, even though it took me more than 1 hour to get to my destination.

    I agree with you, it was a big change when the classes started to be online and it was great this semester to be able to have at least once a week a face to face class.

  BLOG 4 - My dream job  Gastronomy          One job I wanted to specialize in was gastronomy, that is to say, to be a professional chef like Gordon Ramsay. Whenever Master Chef was on TV, I would sit and watch it for a few hours, as I found the program quite interesting, I was also interested in the cooking tutorials and the preparation of desserts, both in appearance and taste. Of course, I obviously tried to prepare some of these dishes, but honestly I was not very good at making them, since they were quite strange in appearance, not even their taste was saved. Even so, I kept practicing despite the frequent failures that resulted in the end.        However, I never gave up on it back then, since I wanted to specialize in this in the future, I was determined to do it, even if it would take me a long time to achieve it. Unfortunately, this did not end well because in the end I ended up leaving it since I accepted that gastronomy was not my thing, but I can not deny that I still think

BLOG 3 - The Role of Technology in my Profession and Life     First of all, technology in my life is primordial, since I was born it has accompanied me and complemented me until today. Literally, whenever I have time, I always use my cell phone to watch videos, take pictures or just to play a game when I'm bored.      I also have to point out that I use my computer a lot, especially between the years 2020 and 2021 for online classes, since as we know, we are going through a pandemic (covid-19), which means that technology is even more required at this time.      Honestly, if it wasn't for technology in general, the facilities we have today would not be possible, so we have to be thankful that we have this invention in our hands, as it has been quite important in our lives even if we don't want to admit it.      Of course, being myself a student of "graphic designer" and video editor, of course technology has been a very important and relevant topic in all my life,

September 09, 2021 Italy       One of the countries that I have always wanted to visit is Italy, to get to know and see up close the wonderful most important and remarkable cultural treasures of the country such as the Colosseum in Rome, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Duomo (Milan), the imposing Gothic cathedral, the Basilica San Marco (Venice) that from what I have heard and investigated is visited aboard a gondola, The arena, which is located in Verona, is the Roman amphitheater where gladiators fight, and a no-frills works of art by famous artists Miguel Ángel, Da Vinci, Rafael, and Tiziano.     O f all those places, the one that most catches my attention is Venice, since it is said to be the most romantic city in the world, in addition to being able to be visited at any time of the year, so I won't have to worry about the dates. I also understand that it is the city of canals, where you can tour the Grand Canal of Venec
