The hardest year

Hello there!!

This is my last blog and I want to share with all of you about my 2009.

When I got in university in last year, I was full of doubts about how will it be. Now, almost two years from there, I have only one thing for sure: This is exhausting!! In this year I had thirteen subjects in eight months. I don't know how, but I think I'm going to finish everything ok, but extremely tired. This makes me think about the relation between my mental health and good marks... Unfortunately for my brain, I choosed the marks.

As I said, thirteen were my subjects this year, some of them really interesting, some of them extremely boring. Others were hard and others not so much, but the other thing that I've learnt in university, is that nothing is free. Anyway, I didn't put everything of me in all the exams, but I choose the subjects that really matters to me and I studied more in those.

Chilean social history was, and this is for sure, the best subject of the year. It was amazing to see the chilean history from a really different perspective than any other time that I had seen it. Also, I got really good marks so I am very happy for that subject in general. In other hand, a really good subject, but not with such good marks was Theory I. In this case, the problem was in myself: I can´t study until the night before the test, so, I don’t read everything I need or I want to read and I am averyday really sleepy, it sucks.

The worst subject was quantitatives techniques I. It was so boring, and I just can’t see myself making surveys all my life. In general, there were really good subjects and others not so much, but the evaluation is positive, because I learnt a lot of new things that will be useful for my career now and in the future.

This year leaves some challenges for the second half of my studies here in University. The first one, is to be more responsible with my readings, not only for the exams, but always and because I really like to know what the authors said. But more importan than that, I must learn to combine my studies with the rest of my life. I have always thought that University can not be the only thing that a person should do, but going out, to be with my girlfriend or friends in general, or participate in other activities it’s extremely important, and I am never going to leave those things.

Good luck in everything, it wasn’s so awful to make this blogs.
