Blog 1: A country you would like to visit.

One of my biggest dreams is to be able to visit and get to know Scotland, a country located in the Midwest of Europe whose capital is the city of Edinburgh. It is also one of the four countries that are part of the United Kingdom, along with Wales, England, and Northern Ireland. 



The reason for wanting to go to Scotland is that I am fascinated by its architecture, its culture, its landscapes, its history and above all its monuments and castles. Among which I can highlight the monument of the well-known Scottish warrior William Wallace and the castle of Eilean Donan, which are the places I definitely want to visit the day I have the opportunity to travel to that beautiful country.



I would also like to go to the Highland Games, which are events that take place throughout the year to celebrate the Scottish and Celtic cultures. And which are also organized around traditional Highland sports, including Highland music and dancing, as well as lots of fun for the whole family, with food and craft stalls.




Finally, I would like to work and live in that country, in fact, it is one of my future goals that I want to accomplish. However, it is clear to me that it is not something easy to achieve, and that I would need a lot of time to prepare and organize myself well to meet the necessary requirements to gain admission and stay in the country. And also to have a good pronunciation of English, since it is the language with which I will manage constantly.

    I don't know much about Scotland, but all I know is that it looks like a place taken out straight from a royalty-like movie, or a series like Game of Thrones! I hope that one day you can achieve your dreams and live there. Kind Regards!

    Yes, it looks really beautiful with green mountains and sea. As Mailyn said: it has a Game of Thrones look--which was filmed in Northern Ireland which is very near Scotland--only 30 kilometers away.

Series that you would recommend

One of the series that has really captivated me has been "Anne with an E," which is an adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery's books. This Canadian series, comprised of 3 seasons with 27 episodes in total, was created by Moira Walley-Beckett and produced by Northwood Anne, Northwood Entertainment and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. This story begins when siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help them work on their farm in Green Gables, just outside the town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. However, when Matthew arrives at the train station to pick up the orphan boy, he realizes that the orphanage has made a mistake, as there is only one red-haired girl named Anne Shirley in the place. At first Marilla is not convinced to adopt her, as they needed someone who could work on the farm, and she was too skinny for that, but over time Anne wins her affection, so she can start this new life in a real home.  Even if in the first chapters it may...

Blog 5: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
My plan of study this semester consists of 6 courses: Statistics II, Neurophysiology, Developmental Psychology I, Social Psychology I, Psychological Theories and Systems, and Psychopathology. Also, a communication skills course and an English course. Classes are held in the campus classrooms and also in the faculty building. In relation to this, the only thing I would change is that all the rooms where we have the classes have access to a stable internet to make it possible to record the classes. In addition, it is necessary that they have better lighting that allows a good visualization of the PowerPoint presented with the projectors belonging to each of the rooms. Regarding the workload, I only have complaints in 2 courses: The first one is Neurophysiology, because it is a very demanding branch, which has mandatory texts and videos to review for each class, and also activities that have to be solved every week in a portfolio. This generates an overload of work because of all...

Blog 4: Time travel to the past or future

Imagen
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, if I had the possibility to travel back in time wherever I wanted, I would not hesitate to travel specifically to 15th century Scotland, that is, in the medieval times when castles were at their peak along with the presence of the valiant Highlanders.  The reason I would like to travel to that particular time and place is mainly because, several years ago, I read my first Scottish medieval novel, which started my love for reading and for that wonderful country.  With a fascinating and even magical way in which life inside the castles, guarded by loyal warriors who gave their lives to protect their people, was described. And also how the beautiful landscapes that characterized the surroundings of the castles are detailed. Despite this, I do not consider it an era in which I would like to stay and live for the rest of my life. This is because those times were characterized by the difficulties that existed in relation to the fact of bein...
