Your blogging experience!!

Until this CGF, I have never had a blog before. The closest thing I have ever done was to write on my facebook. Honestly I find this activity very useful when someone is learning how to speak in english, but I think that it’s a problem to me. During the week I have classes from eight o’clock to half past five, and that doesn’t include the personal study and the university tasks (for example investigations, reports, to prepare dissertations, etc.). Two partners presented a short dissertation where they showed a statistic in which they expressed how, in general, the academics from the med school think that the medicine student have thirty hours per day. That is because the courses were designed with contact and home hours. Summing this hours with some time to eat, to sleep, to get to the university and then back home, it gives approximately thirty hours per day.

I just don’t have time to do all the stuffs I should do for the university. I have to choose the most important and leave the other things for later, or there are times when I don’t do them at all.

That’s the main reason why I don’t enjoy to blog. If it were on vacations I would surely have a different opinion about this.

Despite not enjoying it, I believe that it is an enriching experience, because it has really helped me to improve my english. The fact of searching words on dictionaries (yeah, I still use dictionaries!), to think about how to say what you really want to say, helps a lot in different aspects, for example to extend your vocabulary and to improve the confidence when writing. It is also important because being confident about the knowledge of the language is essential when it comes to the fluency at the time of speaking.

As I said it before, if it weren’t because of the issue with the time, I would be really happy to be writing this post right now.
