A subject I enjoy studying this semester

So, a subject that I enjoy studying this semester is this one, English III. Maybe because is different of the others subjects, for the blogs exactly, I like it a lot, classes are not the most interesting but the blogs are something new for me. I always looking for a instance to practice my English, because I know isn’t the best, I have a lot of problems communicating with people from others countries when I am playing online and I feel a little of shame of my expression in those moments.

In this subject we practice our written English and pronunciation too, the main activities are two: Classes, that aren’t the most stimulant, for me at least, and Blogs, where we write freely about a topic.

The main contents we see in class, is about daily situations, where we see how to use some terms and learn about pronunciation, for example: Sports, wears, etc. We often practice with our classmates too during the class.

And well, that’s all. I only expect that I can practice more my English the next semester, in English IV.

Blog 9: Movies & Series

I’m not a fan of movies or series at all, and the series I know are from my mother, who really likes police series, she sees the AXN channel the most part of the time, and the one I like the most out of these is The Mentalist. The director is Bruno Heller, a British screenwriter. The main character is Patrick Jane interpreted by Simon Baker.

The series follows Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based in Sacramento, California. Although not an officer of the law, he uses his skills from his former career as a successful, yet admittedly fraudulent, psychic medium to help a team of CBI agents solve murders. But, the real reason for Jane to get in law enforcement is for tracking the serial killer known as Red John, who was the responsible for the brutal murders of his wife and daughter. Despite that serious plot, the series is full of irreverent comedy from Jane, and that’s the reason why I like it, it’s a really funny series. I like it too, because I don’t need to see the whole series to enjoy one episode, and well, it’s a good time to spend with my mother.

A career-related website that I enjoy visiting.

Compound Interest is an awesome website for any chemistry-related career; they share infographics about chemistry compounds in general, in social medias, and not only medicinal chemistry (the reason why I gave them thumbs up in Facebook, perhaps I also enjoy food chemistry), so is a perfect website to satisfy curiosity for any person who likes chemistry as such. Their infographics are pretty simple and explicative for all, so you don’t need to be a professional or an expert to understand them. But being more honest, I didn’t visit the website for a year maybe, because in the year that I’m in my career I need to read a lot about pharmacology, thus the infographics are a very poor now compared to the information I need to know. Perhaps, food chemistry infographics still satisfy my curiosity.

If you want to see for a specific category, you can go to the Infographics Index in the official website: https://www.compoundchem.com/

I recommend give them a thumbs up in Facebook and follow them, if you like chemistry and you want to know facts about that. You can find them too in Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr and Reddit.

For now, I leave you an example of their job: 

My favourite Hero

Making my choice took me a long time, I don’t really like the super heroes topic, so I decided for anime hero. Shiroe, from Log Horizon is the main character of the series, he is very calm, smart and calculator person. The background of the anime in nowadays is very cliché, he was gamer who gets trapped in his favourite MMORPG videogame with large amount of the players, after a new patch of the game, in their own avatars, then the chaos star. The people try to survive in the completely anarchy, attacking others and stealing their goods. Slowly, thanks to more powerful guilds, the order and then democracy start, with the mediation of our main character Shiroe, who after takes the position of leader of his own guild and the respect of the others leaders, he decided to create The Roundtable, to take the important decisions for the people who live in Akibahara, the city of the adventurers. This anime really have a political and economy vision, such a good MMORPG should have. After the main problems for coexistence were solved, the anime put the plot of raids on the table, and the fact of the die in that world, because everyone can respawn when they die, but they lost part of their memories every time the respawn.



The writer of the original novels is Mamare Touno.

I like this character because he resolved all the problems with his smartness, because he literally don’t have any offensive power, as the Enchanter (support mage) who is, and it’s depend all the history of the help of his friends.

Blog 5: A photograph

My girlfriend is a photography student so; at the start of her career I was the first person who agreed to be her model for her homework. I had no idea about posing or anything that a model needs to do, but I tried my best. She took this picture of me, this one is based on German expressionism, which tries to show loneliness or a bitter sight of the life, this artistic movement was born in the context of pre-war (1914-1918) and between wars (1918-1939). Thus, this photograph tries to catch sadness and loneliness, trying to emotionally reach the viewer. This photograph was taken when my girlfriend was in her second year of study, and she was very proud of her job. For me it was a very cool picture, I can remember that we took this one in my cousin’s house.

I really enjoyed posing to my girlfriend, and I did my best in all homework that she needed my help, but when she passed to the next years of her career, she needed professional models so my job ended. Perhaps, it was very funny for me being an amateur model.

My favorite book: El Túnel

My favorite book is El Túnel, from Ernesto Sábato.

I read it when I was a teenager, for my obligatory reading schedule for the high school. I liked it because was an interesting travel through a mind that was starting to get lost and sick for the jealousy, at this time I was starting to discover the love by the way, I was suffer for my first love and all that process. And for my young mind, the psychological novel was a new world and this was my first one. The thing that I believe I love it, was this psycho-emotional sensation of enter in a mind that wasn’t the mine. I read it the book 2 times more when I finish it, I remember.

I recommend this book if you enjoy the psychological novel topic, it was very interesting see how can the reality is being distorted by the mind, a sick mind.

My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is the computer. When I was around 12 years old I got my first computer, my parents bought this one on the governmental campaign of “Mi primer PC”, it was very basic but enough for me. The next computer I had was a laptop, I got it when I was ending my high school, and from there I only bought laptops. I use my computer as my main tool for everything, like study, do my homework, watch videos, chat or play videogames. I use my laptop every day for whatever I need it, but the most of the time is for playing videogames with my friends, and that’s the main reason why I like it I suppose. I love to play online videogames with friends; I have a lot of friends from different countries thanks to online videogames. My life without computer, I figure, would be very boring and harder on the academic side; I can’t imagine how difficult doing my homework without my laptop would be.

This is the last laptop I bought, an HP Pavillon.
