Blog session 10: Good and bad points

Good and bad points

This year so far has been as a summary a very interesting year for me. A lot of good things happened and also a couple bad things.

This is the year that I had the most academic troubles as a University student. For the first time I couldn´t pass a couple of subjects and I feel like I never have time to do anything just for me. But as I told, not everything has been like that. In fact, the most part of the things that happened to me this year are good.  

To begin, I have shared this year with a very important person for me, my boyfriend Nicolás. We have reached one year together not very long ago, and he makes me very happy. Another things that makes me happy is that with this turbulent year in the academic field, I could realize that I like what I´m studying, because, in spite of the nights without sleeping very well, I think sociology is a very interesting career, and at the moment I don´t see myself studying a different thing.

This year has also been good because I achieved some things I proposed myself to do. One of these things is that I applied for “ayudante” of a subject I liked a lot and I was chosen to do it. “Ayudante” is a job where you help a teacher with the subject and you also help the students with the reading of the bibliography given in the subject and with the questions they have. I enjoy a lot with it, because the students are very likeable. Another achievement is that I applied and won a scholarship to go to Germany this summer, to make an intensive German course in the University of Freiburg.

So that is something I still have to do this year, I´m very happy about it.
