Bye-Bye Bloggers

 Hi Fau Bloggers,

This is your final post so I'd like you to write a reflective post about your semester in FAU.

My semester was a little up & down but on the whole I feel content. I only taught English 4 and participated in a CFG on Manga & Anime. I've been participating on the Manga & Anime course since 2013 when I started it with Diego Vallejos, an urbanism teacher from FAU. However, since 2015 my participation has shrunk because we have an ex-student of the course in 2014 doing the course because he is an expert on the subject. He literally knows everything there is to know about manga & anime.

What else? I'm finding interesting getting into the new post-pandemic semester breakdown. I find there were lots of stops and starts, fiestas patrias, a few public holidays, autonomous study weeks. If I were a student, I think I'd have problems managing my time. I'm not always good at managing my own schedule when it's constantly changing. I've be interested to hear what you guys think (comment section maybe?) 

I have enjoyed my English 4 classes. I really appreciate the fact that most of you realise the importance of "speaking" in English in order to learn it. I know it's easy to get engrossed in a story of an explication and break into your mother tongue but, you generally made the effort to do the activities as required. I also enjoyed reading your blogs as its a great way to learn more about you all from your posts. I hope you managed to see improvement in your writing. 

Anyway, for your final post, please write about your semester.

Say:

What subjects you enjoyed the most, and why,

Which subjects you found complicated or boring, and why,

Your best moment of the semester, why you enjoyed it,

Your best mark and your worst mark,

A person you enjoyed working with and why,

A resolution for next semester.

Mention anything else you think is important or interesting. Try to write at least 200 words. Leave a comment on your teacher's blog and on the blogs of 3 classmates.

    I think that the organization of time in architecture is very important not to be always behind, there are weeks when there are not many things to do, but there are others when there are too many things at the same time, that makes me miss the dynamics of online classes (like everything everywhere all at once).

      Yeah. That dynamic sounds complicated. Especially trying to motivate yourself.

    I think a good idea to get organized is to use planners, there are monthly, weekly and daily, it helps a lot to organize your time.

    I think that these types of holidays and autonomous weeks, etc, serve to be able to catch up on work many time and also get a little distracted

Welcome to your English Blog class. Today you have to create your blog, link your classmates and write a short post about yourself (no personal details!!!).

A Job

 Good Morning Blogheads! Today I'd like you to write about a job you'd like to do. Actually, I'd done a lot of jobs in my time. When I was a young boy I did several part time jobs. I did a paper round, then I worked in a Butcher's shop cleaning dirty refrigerators and finally I worked in a Clothes' Shop selling jeans. My first full-time job was as a Laboratory Assistant and 3-months later I was promoted to Laboratory Technician (Wow!!). Since then I've worked running a rehearsal studio, as a photographer, a photographer's assistant, a DJ, a lorry driver's assistant, a waiter, a musician, a warehouse technician, a barman, a Language Learning Centre assistant, a Course Director, a summer school teacher, a High School teacher, an examiner and no doubt some other things that I can't remember at the moment. However, I think the job I would like to do most is to be a free-lance music producer. I love to work with music and creating new things in the studio

A Little Bit of Chile

Hi FAU Bloggers, As you might have guessed by now, I'm what's known in good Chilean as "pati-peri." However, aside from having been lucky enough to visit some amazing countries in my long life, I have also visited some amazing places in Chile. I travelled Chile from Arica to Aysen so I still have a third of the teritory left to discover. Today I'm going to write about a place in Chile I really enjoyed visiting and that I'd like to visit again: Malalcahuello.  I visited Malalcahuello in 2007 when one of my sisters was visiting from the UK. My sister arrive towards the end of February.  A few days after she arrived, and along with my wife, we decided to embark on a spontaneous road trip south. We packed up a tent and all our camping gear and headed South. We spent a night in Chanco, a couple of nights in Cobquecura and a night in Curacautin before arriving in Malalcuhuello. By this time my wife was tired of driving and wanted a holiday so we decided to stay a fe
