University (so far)
Last August 7th, I started university, I was dreaming about it since my childhood, I used to see a TV show of this Uni and I remember I wished to go to that college, who'd say I'm finally there?
I still remember the admission exam last May, just some days after my birthday, studying the stuff I didn't learn cause scholar strikes in high school time. I was all days in library- I'm not complaining, I love libraries and books, actually, the man behind the counter did recognize me when I was walking on the street after school one day, maybe I was the only one going to the library and carrying books and borrow them, he gave me a smile, he looked serious all the time though- I also was bothering my math teacher and some of other subjects as chemistry and physics. There were hard days because I had to study and doing my final projects as a website, videos, interactives about Integral Calculus and all the thesis at the same time in order to become a graphic designer, and I can't believe it finished and now I'm here, I did it, I reached those old goals, and now I have new ones.
So far the university hasn't been as I thought. I got a place in one of the best Mexico's universities- I would say the best one, really- in the undergraduate admissions in the course Bussines, management and marketing or Bussines administration, which besides is a bilingual one, and not anybody can get a place in there, so I'm quite proud I got one. I've been there a whole semestre and even though at the beginning I was terrified about my classmates because as I have said before I'm a bit different to normal people, I've done some friends, and that's nice, sometimes I still feel alone though.
Although all this, I feel a bit disappointed in teachers now, why? The methods they use, are really, weird and not really efficient, I can see it, and not only me, all my class does. I like the subjects even though they're not of my course yet, all the other courses have the same subjects the first year, and then I will have my speciality subjects and important, half of them ( 7/14) will be in English.
I've been trying to study by myself because I didn't do as I'd like in the first term, teamwork is not working, and I don't think I'm the guilty one, still, I'm thinking on new strategies. And there is where the problem begins, but I'm trying and I'll do it.
I actually like this school though, the library is two floors and it's just amazing, and it has a section of literature and I already read Macbeth and Hamlet (again) I was so excited the first time I visited it, I was like a child in Christmas. Why do I love so much the books? I've been reading math and physics books lately, I don't have to, it's not part of school now, but I found out how much I miss sciences now, and how much I love them, I miss the math, chemistry and physics exercises, fortunately I'll be seeing some math soon.
I am happy because in this Uni I'm having proper violin lessons, which is like a dream, this place is great, really -if we forget of the bad teachers- I feel more comfortable than I felt in high school. I feel this is my place and I hope I'm not wrong.
There's too a cool place that reminds me a park, where all day there's classical and instrumental music, it's quite relaxing, I've spent some time there two days so far, and I really love it, most of the times when I'm alone.
When I got my notes, I was depressed, a teacher made a mistake with my grade (I was the only one getting an A* in the exam and he put me a B, I was like WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, LIFE?)Finally he changed it, but other teachers were really unfair, I do not want to remember, these things always happen to me, and I just wonder, why?
But let's start 2018 with optimism and all the good vibes. Happy new year!
