A programme

I started watching it as a child from about 8 years old. I remember both my sisters loved it so I just sat with them and it was all good. It is about this blond girl with very big (not surprising now!) green eyes. I remember it was a very dramatic Japanese Anime. “Candy” was an orphan girl who was adopted and treated badly. Moreover she falls in love with this amazingly handsome character “Anthony” (I fell in love, too!) and he dies!! Yes, he dies!! I suffered so much.  Later she moves to London and meets “Terri” who is the opposite of Anthony (the latter is rebellious). The thing is this love is not meant to be and they keep splitting because he wants to become an actor.

I think it was on every evening for around half an hour.

I suppose I enjoyed it because it was full of adventures and things seemed pretty exciting, but mostly because I would sit there with my sisters and we would drink our milk and eat toast on those evenings while watching the show. I couldn’t wait for the next day to come. Just to watch it again! I know it is very "ñoño" to write about this but I couldn't think of anything apart from "erase una vez el hombre" which seemed a bit serious for children...

Today we have a free topic.

I will write about something I feel passionate about.

Minimum 200 words and 3 comments

There are a number of things I feel passionate about. But today I need to think of one.  I think probably learning is what I feel most passionate about. I consider myself a very inquisitive person, maybe not as in depth as I should. I also feel strongly about nature and travelling. I know some people take things these things for granted. To me visuals and sounds are so relevant. I feel nature somehow provides us with so many wonderful things at the same time. This is why camping or trekking are activities that fill me with joy, and so is travelling.   I love going out of the city and walk and hear the sounds of birds chirping, river water flowing, leaves rustling, etc.  I also love the colours of vegetation, shapes of clouds and colours of the sky.

Another thing I feel passionate about is travelling to different cultures. I have been lucky enough to travel a fair amount and seen some beautiful places. This passion has to do with exploring different cultures. I would say the most striking ones I have seen are those of Turkey and Japan. Simply because I feel both are completely different to ours. The way people relate to one another and how they relate to you as a foreigner is very different and for the same reason really interesting.  My next big trip will be to Russia one day I hope. I am really interested because I think it will be as shocking as the prior ones I mentioned.  

Today I thought somehow, we could refer to things that need changing. When I was at Uni, I remember that in general I was happy with the programme, but certainly not with some of the teachers. And the problem is no matter where you study, there are many bad teachers who will not go anywhere. It does not matter if students complain.

Now I will refer, in particular to a diploma a studied in PUC in 2011. The contents were good and, apart from a couple of teachers, they were very good. What really upset me at the time were two things. One was the fact that they would mark you absent if you were late. We are talking about people who came from work and sometimes would arrive late because of traffic or problems. And secondly, the fact that they would give you no photocopies and you had to read loads. I know photocopies are not particularly friendly with the environment but for me, reading has to be in paper most of the times because my eyes get tired. I put a formal complaint about this and they did not care at all. They said sorry, you have to print.

How about you?

Write about the things you are happy with at university.
