English language challenges

Until now I've had a really nice experience with the english classes at the university, they've been very different from the classes I had in other institutions.

The use of the blogs forced me to write in this language on a regular basis, thing that I never had to do before, I found that this helped me a lot, improving my knowledge every week, and at the end it was a very entertaining method.

One aspect of my english that need to be improved with urgence it's the speaking aspect, more than listening or writing. Maybe I'll take the "Inglés V" class to keep training and improving this aspect of learning and knowing the language. I can't find another realistic way of keep improving in this area in the near future, because I don't have anyone to practice speaking english with.

And to the question "Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?" I use english on a daily basis a lot, like literally everyday, this is because most of the pages and sites I follow on social media are writed and speaked in english, from news pages, to entertaining sites or any matter or subject that i'm interested in, also I watch a lot of videos that are speaked in english that have no subtitles and can practically understand every word, with some exceptions from time to time, but that cases are mostly new words that I've never heard, or that I can't understand somethings the first time I hear them because of issues with the pronunciation or accent.

Changes to my study programme

So I think that the curriculum of the major I'm currently studying it's a very complete one and satisfy the needs of both the people who wants to specialize in political science and the ones who wants to specialize in management.
The workload I believe it's just fine (when the semester it's not compressed with almost 3 less class weeks, like this one), but I think that it would be nice to shorten the lenght of the studies in one year and be able to graduate from the major in four years, like in most western "first world" countries, obviously that idea would need to be well planned, because it could derivate in more unnecessary workload for the students with not the aproppiate implementation.
But if we talk about the matter of the faculty/building facilities, there's so many things that could be improved and implemented, a proper dining room, enable the second floor of the library, open some study rooms so the students can study together in their free time before a test or exam, don't close the library for a whole day during the finals, are some of the things that come to my mind.
Sincerely I don't know in which way technology could be better implemented or used in the classes or the faculty outside of how it's already used.
And finally I believe that the teaching methods used in here, despite being very dependent on the teacher, are pretty good ones, with very entertaining and didactical classes in most cases, the development and execution of projects in real life that, even having some planification problems in their conception, ended being pretty useful from a learning point of view.


                                             

My experience with sports

I was a very inactive kid, I didn't practiced a lot of sports outside of playing baby football with friends on the weekends, and I sucked at it. In 7th grade the P.E. classes were made in the bigger playground of the school and in the gym, so the teacher let us play football and basketball at the end of each class, I still sucked, but that didn't kept me apart from playing anyway, during that year I realized that I wasn't that bad at basketball and I was "decent" as a goalkeeper in baby football, a very unorthodox one, because of the rule that you can only score shooting inside the box (which it's very small), I went out to press the player and clear the ball before he could enter the area.

In high school I went to play baby football with my classmates regularly to a park near the school after class, especially on fridays, also played basketball with friends from time to time and my best friend invited me to practice rugby, I still wasn't very good at any of these sports (with the exception that sometimes I had decent, even good, displays on basketball, but that wasn't a regular thing) but I loved to practice them anyway. The dynamic of being in a team, in a close match where everyone is focused in what they have to do, give your best and turn the score to your favor are all very attractive and amazing things in my opinion, also, and most important, you can have tons of fun playing/practicing sports, independent if you are good or bad at them, specially if you do it with friends. This ended being a habit during all high school and kept practicing rubgy some years. 

To this day we still settle football matches from time to time with my friends from school.
