I have cleaned here... again xD
My enrolled readers,
Now this post will be in English because I haven't written something in English for a while in this blog. If you don't like it, well... I can't do something about it :P
Anyway... I have finished my English course! After 15 weeks of hard
work and 15 weeks of speaking in English, writing a 2500 words assignment [yes, I was in shock at the beginning, but later on I discovered that it was not that much hehe], listening in English and improving it every day, it ended for good. Actually, all that practice will continue for about 1 year with my masters degree and I'm excited [but nervous at the same time, I have to admit it] about that.
The last two weeks of the Direct Pathway Entry [DEP] were absolutely exhausting, especially because we needed to develop a portfolio at the same time with writing the 2500 words research assignment and, therefore, it took all my energy during those weeks. The only thing I wanted to do at the time was to sleep a long shift.
A week before DEP finished, I was elected by my classmates to give a speech on behalf of my group in the graduation ceremony. That made me flattered and honored to create it and give it in front of more than 100 people, and also I am thankful with my classmates for that. I cannot describe the feeling I had at the moment, but it was such a fantastic one, that's for sure.
A day before the course finished, we went to Stradbroke Island, which is around 1 hour east of Brisbane. The island is fantastic, but I was freezing! Literally, the wind was against us! But besides that, the view is awesome and I had such a great time with my friends. When we came back from there, we went to buy some presents to our teachers for next day.
Just minutes before the ceremony started, I was completely nervous and I couldn't articulate any word, but later I started to calm down [just on the half of my speech :S] and everything was fine. Now I know that becoming a teacher [or a lecturer] is not an easy thing to do and I reckon it's not my thing hehehe... The ceremony finished and the group caught Aliki and Arwen [our teachers] to have some pictures and to give the present we bought the day before. They liked them a lot, especially the T shirts we bought and signed with our names. Even Aliki started to cry because she didn't expect that present and Arwen was really surprised and happy with hers. I really acknowledge all the efforts they did for us.
I demand another picture! xD
Now I am in a break and next week I'll start my courses! I will take 4 courses, which are Introduction to Public Relations, Media Law, International Journalism, and Public Writing. I am so excited and nervous as I said before, but now I am confident that I can understand most of the lecturers. The only thing is to becoming a hard worker to be successful! I can't wait to start living a dream I have for about 4 years ago. I'll tell you how my classes are after finishing Week 1.
It is time to go to read my book. By the way, if you want to read a good book, I suggest you to read 1984 by George Orwell. Maybe we can discuss some points about it!
Time to go. I just want to put this picture to my great OJOTES HERMOSOS xD
Yes... you caught me in my cursi time xD
Reporting,
Lalo.
