My experience was good, but difficult. I think I dont know a lot of words in english, especially connecting words, and this was a challenge for me. Many times I want write anything but I don't know how, so I look for the easiest words I can use to express it. The classes in the university were not many, the process was interrupted by the university mobilization, and I feel that I was left a bit in the middle, but its okay, there are some very important issues to resolve in the institution. I still have the next semester to complete the process On the other hand, I like blogging so much, is very entertaining and I enjoy read the other blogs too. I feel like this has helped me in my english, is a challenge, and I use a lot Wordreference, but is okay haha I hope at some point I can write something as easy as when I do it in Spanish It's still costing me a lot, write in english but specially the pronunciation, but soon I will take private lessons, so I hope to continue improv...

In this year I am living so many thing. I have difficult moments, and incredible moments.  I started my year very excited about the classes, I had many new classes but the beginning was a bit complicated. The boss of my career is very incompetent, there were many problems with taking subjects, and I spent two months without being able to register all my subjects because the schedules were poorly planned, and the head of the course did not solve anything in this regard. Then everything went back to normal and I was able to have my normal classes. So far I have done well in the subjects, and I have made a lot of effort to advance as much as possible in my instrument, not every day there is the motivation to study, but I try to do it as much as possible and give myself rest days as well. Lately I have had good news, I had been in psychotherapy for a few years, and about a month ago I took a big step that allowed me to pause therapy because it was no longer as necessary as before,...

My favorite subject this semester has been chamber music. This is a subject in which I must form small groups with musicians to play together, in this we must learn about playing music collectively, to understand each other, listen to each other, make musical decisions together, and know that we are all equally important to the time to make music. Respecting each other and learning to make decisions with other musicians, is a skill that we will have to use throughout our entire career as instrumentalists, we will not always play as soloists and many times it will be something together, which personally seems to me a very fun and friendly experience. . This is the first year that I really have this subject, I also had to take it in 2021 but in online modality it could not be carried out well, I never met my classmates, we could only "play together" synchronizing videos from our homes digitally, and my teacher that year had a particular way of doing classes that didn't help...

In today's post I will talk about my pet named Pepina. Pepina is an Argentine parrot, this is a very abundant species in Chile, which have been classified as pests, since they make "collective nests" so heavy that they can knock down trees or large branches and cause accidents. However, it is their nature and I think they are not to blame. Pepina arrived at the garden of my house with a wing injured because a cat attacked her, hurt her wing and it began to bleed. When I captured her she was very scared and aggressive, she was trying to attack me. After a while a bird vet came to see her and she did not resist being taken, the vet said that it meant that she was very bad and depressed so she was resigned to die. She started a treatment of antibiotics but she stopped eating, and the stress caused by being locked up made her go into a state of pulling out her feathers, she became malnourished and weighed 60g (her normal weight is 100g) Then her wing didn't get better and...
