Paula Blog 2021

  Hi everyone!  This is my last blog TT. So I will be talking about my experience learning English at university.  I only had this last semester, and because of the pandemic, it was online. I think I would enjoy it more if It wasn´t online. But I could practice my English and expand my vocabulary, so it was good anyways.  About the blogs, I had fun doing them, even though I had to write them at Friday nights or Saturday evenings. At first, I feel so lazy about doing them, but when I start writing, I actually enjoy it. I like it because it was like writing a diary. It also helped me to order my ideas about the subjects we were assigned.  Even though I like writing blogs, I would like to have more variety of assignments, like talking with my partners, I think you can learn a lot form talking with them. Maybe because of covid and online modality, we couldn’t talk as much between us. I mean, we can talk at online classes, but it feels so weird. Besides that, the cla...

Hi everyone! I’m writing this again, because i’ve already did this, but I think I misunderstood the assignment. So here we go again. Actually I don’t want to do this. When I think about the future, it makes me so anxious. The future seems so bad. I think it’s going to be like a dystopia from all those books I read when I was 14. No water, a system that doesn’t work and stuff like that. I mean, now we have a system that doesn’t work, but it seems like nothing will change, so we are going to be in a deeper problem. Besides the fantasy, thinking in the future me, scares me a lot. What if everything goes wrong, and I’m just a sad adult that conforms with they´re life? Haha why am I such a negative person? Stop it, Paula. So if I could travel to the future, I would like to go to 2030’s Paula. At this moment, my goals are not that “long term”, so I would like to talk to her, and ask if she’s ok. I would like to ask her if she achieved the things I wanted to do, or if she have the same ...

  Hi everyone! Has I’ve said on the past blogs, I’m not very good at the long term goals, because makes me anxious. But travelling always has been a dream to me, because I love learning from other cultures, and meeting new people. I’ve always thought that when I finish my career I would go to any country, and have classes there so I can learn the language for a few months. Maybe I could go to any English speaker country, or Germany, or Korea, or Japan. Ok, maybe not the last one as a first option, because it’s very hard to write and read, and would take a lot to study before I go. If I had to think in a first option to travel, I would say Germany, because there are a lot of good music schools, and stuff. I could stay there and learn not only the language, I could also study a master, it would be great! Also, there are so many beautiful landscapes I would like to see. Besides Berlin, the other cities are not that big, I like the idea of not travelling for 1 hour every day to go ...

  Hi everyone! Today I´m going to talk about what I would like to change about my study program. Spoiler: a lot. The curriculum is too tight. At this moment I have 8 classes, and I haven’t failed or repeated any of them. This doesn’t give me the time for study properly for every single class, so I have to choose every week wich class I’m going to focus on. This makes vary hard to have a practice routine for the principal instrument that I’m actually studying. IN FACT, AT THIS MOMENT I’M TRYING TO FOCUS ON 2 DIFFERENT UNIVERSITY PROYECTS, HELP . Also, as you can imagine, is hard to actually learn in every class, so I feel like I lose a lot of time. Maybe if they offer different specialties like just pedagogy, chamber music, orchestra repertoire, soloist, or music director. They try to teach me everything, but I can´t do it at the same time, I feel like I can’t do anything right. But also, I want to do all that to, this is hard. On other hand, the infrastructure is so poor ...
