Hi there. Let´s start the journey of imagination and reality; let´s start our own entries as if we were Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower... let´s start writing!
Hi friend, Today I write again because this morning I discovered the advantages for to be like invisible. My music teacher got up a few crazier than normal days... He did at class get up for everybody run around while we chant the "chu chuá". It is a song that ask to do ridiculous things. This is the letter:
"Company, hands in front Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up,Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, head back, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, feet pinguino, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, feet pinguino, tonge up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ..."
do you see? that things are really ridiculous, but I am a good wallflower... and I have a kind of super powers, because I only think to be invisible and my proffessor do not see me! She (my teacher) thinks we are the babys or someting well, this was all,
"Company, hands in front Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ... Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...” I think that the song´s letter is very funny. I would like learn it jajaja
Today my crazy music teacher wrote a lot in the table. She was very strange. And in the recesses I can saw how she was crying... But it is not all, she saw me that I saw she!!! and she called me and I just die... but she said me that I am a good boy and She can to have the confianza white me. I think It is an other perks for to be a wallflower... The people can give me her secrets because I do not have friends for talk others secrets and anything. I am good but I am sad so...It is very difficult to explain but I am teenager :D With love, Charlie
Today I feel worried because yesterday I saw the schedule guide and I have two courses at the same time, so I have to decide which one matriculate, because if I enroll one I am going to fall behind one year and if I matriculate the other I will not be able to graduate this semester. So now I’m at a crossroads, but at least I have time for take the decision and think in that.
Yesterday and today I was been sick, I think to have a flu, and this is very sad because I need study, make things for the university and work. I feel pain in all my body and dont have energy for nothing. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better, but I dont know. I need to prepare a presentation for my english class next tuesday, and still, I not be finished.
I am going to the bed in a few minutes because I have very cold and I dont want to be sick more. I hope write you tomorrow.
I took an exam today, I hope to get a good grade, at first would be to do at home, but then the teacher said that some people didn’t read and didn’t go to lessons and for this we have to do the exam in the class, but wasn’t very difficult. This course is about teenagers and haw they think and learn, but I think that in education sometimes the theory is only that and isn’t very useful in practice, because all people are different and all act and learn in different ways, so maybe be better learn in other ways, for example working with teenagers directly.
Tomorrow I’m going to have the first oral exam in my English class; I think that I need work a lot in my English, but I don’t have a lot of time, but I’m trying.
Today I was thinking that things are not always as we expect, but everything has a reason and sometimes we just have to wait, but it’s so difficult wait…
That’s all for now, I’m going to do a work of university. I hope you have a good week!
Yestarday, I did a speech for my english class, but I had some problems, cause I don't know why I was nervous when i was in front of the class. Last saturday I had to talk in English with a stranger and the conversation was ok, he understood me, but I don't explain me what happens in a class. Probably, it happens in a stress out moment.
My experience was good. I liked that, was interesting to ask to my classmates and teacher about controversial topics in the history, for example: drugs, sexuality, society and more.Thanks
I`m really worried because I have a clase that is really difficult. Although i count with a little help I don´t feel its enough. Is a History course and I just can´t stop being worried. There are a lot of lectures and a very extensive investigation exam. :S
In my oral presentation i talked about the suicide of the friend of charlie, he commited suicide , and from the point of view of nursing we could make a crisis intervantion to help charlie with his mourning. i felt good to exposed about it cause i know so much about the topic, it was very intersting to talk about it from the perspective of me as a nurse.. Love always, Carolina Solano
I´am so sorry about my terrible grammar mistakes hahaha How are you? Yesterday I had an exposition and it went wrong :( couldn´t undestad the assignment correctly. Well... maybe the next time I ´ll do better,
¿Did you remember I was sick? Well, today I feel better.
I am in a class of english learning how can use the page www.lyricstraining.com, and yesterday I did my explanation about the book and the movie, from the sociology of gender. I spoke about the sexual diversity in the society and the different cultures.
I will not no be in the next course of english, because a need work full time. I hope find other option for continue learning english this year. I am going to miss this group.
I'm writing to say hi. It turns out that yesterday I did my oral presentation in the english class. I was a little worried about that, you know speaking out loud and stuff, mostly because I had the flu and I usually feel like dieing when I have to speak in public. But any way, I did not die so thats ok I guess.
Later that day I saw my boyfriend, and we talk for a long time and then we ate soup, that really made me feel a lot better.
I´m planning my schedule for college rigth now and I´m trying to make that work with my other obligations, however, I hope to write back at you soon.
Today I had to walk a lot because I missed the bus, so me and my brother had to walk in the street like 15 minutes and then the bus was full, so was a strange morning. Then I came to english class, and I delivered my oral presentation about the book and the movie The perks of being a wallflower. I liked that, but I prefer the book, because the movie omitte some things importants and that could be more productive, like social problems, for example abortion. In the afternoon I´m going to go to classes and I have to delivery other oral presentation about the bullying in Costa Rica, I hope that will be fine.
The oral presentations of everyone was very good so congratulations!
That kind of practise is neccesarly to improve our speaking english and to learn more about some specific topics in others majors like psychology,sociology, social work and law.
It is also importan to know the opinion of you about the book that we read and the movie we watched. I think there are a lot of things that we learnt, and now we can understand more of the people's problems and over all about young people's problems. In my case I would like to do a similar assignment again.
I'm here again, I just want to tell you what I did yesterday, because I was so nervous for the "oral presentartion day". That's what I have to do twice in my English course. And it is so difficult for me cause I have to speak in english infront of my classmates and my teacher. May be it can be easy for someone who speaks a lot of english, however, I'm learnign now, and I´m trying to develop my lenguage skills, that ability comes from some knowledge and put in practice these klowledge. I migth learn more, and I really want to speak english well, cause it is so important for my carrer!!
Dear Friend Isaac. I´m so sorry for forgettin that we were suppose to do are final oral exam together I swear that I thought that you were already with another person please forgive me :D
Dont worry about it isaac, you speak very well alone or in front of classmates, oh course we are learning and make mistakes, but the important its you continue practing and learning. Greetings Caro S.
It was difficult to be part of this blog because I had to create a gmail account amd I hate that process because gmail hates me!!!!
Today I did an oral presentation in the English course, we began yesterday with the presentations but I was nervous so I decided not to participated yesterday and I think it was a good idea because today I felt more confident!!!! I do not if I was good for the other but I liked it!!! I want to share wiht you something I wrote for that presentation..
"I believe that people always know that they want but they are afraid to do that… maybe for them or maybe for someone else, I mean that sometimes we are afraid to make up ours minds and take the decisions we want and not what the world expected from us. We just stay there, expecting for someone brave who make up his/her mind and do what we did no were able to do. Or maybe we just not do things because where are not ready yet… I do not know, I have been thinking those things in the last weeks but I have not found the right answer"
Right now I feel tired because yesterday I was so tired that I could not sleep as well I wanted to!! And today I can not go home and sleep because I have to prepare a mischief for tomorrow!!! So I will tell you about it later...
February 13, 2013 Dear friend, Today I had my first oral presentation at my english classes, it was about the book we just read named "The perks of being a wallflower" In my analysis I talked about how I see Charlie, what were his fears and his desires.I also exposed some social stereothypes and how they're broken in the story.At the end of it I tried to talk from my perspective as a future social worker, I mentioned the importance of work with young people in social exclusion risk in order to improve their social skills and to overcome discrimination between teen population. Well... there were many aspects I wanted to stand out but I was so nervous and I just did it very fast, I don't know why! because our teacher is so glad with us and he's not the kind of teacher who intimadates his students. However I'm going to work in this area, I wanna improve my oral presentations.
Hi France, I understand what you mean, the same thing happened to me. But I supposed that is pretty normal because we are learning. Don't worry you did great.
Dear friend Today, I was going late to my english class because I missed the university bus. But then, I was very happy because I had a funny class. I had an oral presentation and I spoke abouth the title of a film that we wachted. I think that it´s very interesting the classrom where we take the course because we can use computers and is very interactive. For example, we practiced english listening songs individually. I hope that the next course will be funny too.
All the presentations were greats, congratulations! I could learn more about theirs careers,was very interesting to know differents points of view. My presentation was very short, I chose a topic beacuse I had similar situation to Charlie. I losed my brother trhree years ago in an accident, all my life change beacuse this. When this situation happend I needed help too, for this reason in my presentation I said : ALL CAN VICTIMS!
Remeber,
"The life has hard times but should never lose hope..."
Yesterday I had to deliver an oral presentation about my point of view of the book "The perks of being a wallflower". At first I didn't know the subject of the book that I had focus (there were a lot) so I decided to be focus on "The lacks of comunication in the adolescence and their consequences" and "Friendship". I tried to explain that being alone is not good at all because if we don't express our feelings we won't be able to take a decision. We need someone advices. Well in the exposition I felt that I need to improve my english,because it's was a little impromptu and I did not explain too clear my points..so I hope at least the teacher have understood me!! :)
February 13, 2012 Dear Friends I'm feeling sick lately, I'm taking pills for the sore throat but today I had to deliver my oral presentation in this course of English that I'm taking, I was the third to speak, I felt a little nervous, but It used to happen to me, when I say something in public for many people, I have to overcome my fears, I know! I'm trying... My oral presentation wasn't really good, I did my best, I think, I really don't have to much free time. Also I have to role play, in the afternoon in my course of Portuguese, It's name is Deus è brasileiro, I have to made the role of Madà, I haven't learned all my speech. At night I have to go to church, with my brother, and my boyfriend wants to go with me, but I have to do staffs before. I have to go to buy too, the present to my boyfriend for Valentine's day, I have many things to do, I hope I reach the time...
I've noticed that many of us have been having problems with the website of the university (ematricula.ucr.co.cr), which as many know is never efficient for so many users, this issue stresses me out, because I'm afraid of not finish it for a simple registration system error, hope it does not happen and my teacher advisor quickly check my preregistration ...
Good luck to all with this issue.
This weekend, I have to study, I'm almost ending the two summer courses I've taken. I have portuguez quiz and exam this week, will try to study to get a good grade, besides that I really like it.
Today was the graduation day for some of my classmates, I was so happy for them. Seeing all this family's so full of pride and joy brings tears to my eyes.
Most of them are close friends of mine and we usually do everything together, so I was a little sad that we din't get to graduate at the same time. I know that I choose this but never the less I'm still a little sad.
You know, I choose to go to graduation in april, because my sister is comming to the country around that time. I hope the watting will be worth it.
MY now friend elin english class (jajaja) Congratulations with your comming graduation, you would see that everything has his rewards, It's lovely from your part, that you wait for your sister, to have the family together in that time, because it is a really special moment in your life... so don't feel bad for that, the important thing is your are going to have your graduation too.. Regards, Marilyn. :)
Today, the teacher of the english course gave me the grammar quiz, and I got a bad grade, I need study more for the next quiz, because I want win the course. It`s a little dificult for me learn the conjugation of the verbs in all the times.
Also, I have problems for speak in english, because I need to practice more the sentences structure. But I want learn to speak better, and I know I will that.
Hi Carolina I understand you because to me it´s the same. I have to practice more because for me it´s difficult speak in English fast. But, I believe that depends of the time since you have been studying the language. Then, we will improve. See you later
dear friends, I'm sorry I haven't written to you in a couple of days, it's just that on weekends I usually visit my family and friends in Atenas and I don't have so much time, but I think you'd understand. Today I had my english classes and I`m happy because I got good grades on the grammar quiz and the oral presentation, and the more important fact is that I really feel I´m learning. But what made me happiest today was that I saw Erin and Danae, my friends from CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) at the UCR! I haven't seen them since the past december and they came back to CR yesterday so I'm verry glad and grateful cause they're here again.
I'm sooooo happy, yesterday was my graduation. I obtained a bachelor's degree in Spanish Philology. For five years I had to study a lot, to learn latin, greek, syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, literature... But, now I know that all the effort was worth it.
Now, I want to finish my "Licenciatura" and a master's degree in social communication. Yes, I know, I have a lot of dreams, but I have a perfect tool to do everything... GOD! Lord has been always with me, and he helps me all the time :)
Remember... Don't tell God "I have a big problem"... Tell your problem you have a great God!
Hi Mariela Congratulation for your graduation! It´s should be very exciting. And you don’t feel sad for your friends because they can graduate in their moment. See you later, bye
Dear Friends I could not write anymore because I've been busy. This week, I had to make an oral presentation in a course, its name is "oral expression" and for that, we have to practice public speaking. But, I think there are many formalisms, because if you are talking and the people understand, no matter other things like clothes or vocabulary, etc. But, I have learned many things, that are important and I hope that I will use in a future.
I noticed that all of us have been very busy this days. I guess is kind of crazy trying to make all our responsibilities work at the same time.
I have read a lot this days, mostly because once that the semester begins a have almost no time at all and that oportunity is taken from me.
While reading I realice how much I normaly leave behind for collegue. But at the same time I win a little bit of knowlege and a lot of lost hours of sleep.
I have to tell you, I'm glad that I got the oportunity of going in to the english class, I really really like going their. The people are nice, and the subjects are interesting. Thinking that I'm going to take this class again the next semester makes me hopeful.
Hi friends Yesterday, I was some nostalgic because I went a concert in my old high school´s gymnasium and I remembered many things when I was a student there. But, it is interesting because I saw the professors and they have changed very much. I don´t think it has been so long. But, that's life. Everything changes. I will write soon, with love Roxana
That is so normal Roxana, but its better you are happy for have been in your old high school, the nostalgic its something normal, dont be sad.. And youre right everything in life changes, its part of life.. greetings caro s.
I am sorry, I didn't forget to write to you but my uncle was fixing my computer. I want to tell you about my last trip, on friday I went to Prusia in Cartago, it is like a forest. I went with my boyfriend and my best friend. Someone told us that there was 1 kilometer between Prusia and the "Sanatorio Duran" but the when we were in the Sanatorio we asked to a woman and she told us that minimum we had to walk 3 hours!!!!! But we were lucky because we could take a taxi, so we didn't have to walk to Prusia. But in the afternoon we had to... And yesterday I couldn't walk because I feel pain in all my body!!! But it was an amazing experience, it was a wonderful place... but you have to go there by car!!!
Dear friends, I want to tell you, than I fell a little nervous latelly,because this is going to be my first year of practice in social work, And I have to choose one area of interest, but all are really interEsting.
There are few places to practice and my generating of third year is big, I have fear of not being able to choose the area I want, because they are only 11 fields for the workshop (taller) On the "ciudadela 25 de julio," which is about the issue of poverty and criminalization, I love this topiC, and the place it is close to my house.
Tomorrow is the day of registration, so is crucial because, unfortunately, IT'S BY grades, my turn is in the afternoon, I hope to find a field in the area I want, there are 5 more workshops, but are areas that interest me as much as this ... Regards, Love always, Marilyn
I have been busy so I had not been able to write, but now I feel very well, because I slept a lot on Friday, yesterday and today. For this week I have to do assignments, but this is the last week of the semester and then I am going to rest a few. Now I’m going to do homework and to prepare an oral delivery for a course of oral expression. I hope to write soon again.
Dear friends, Yesterday was a bad day, I felt sick in the afternoon, since the beginning of the week I had a headache but with a pill the problem was resolved but yesterday...

Dear Issac, I undestand you. Some days ago, I experienced the uncontrolable atraction for someone, but I know is impossible. Everything is going to be ok. I´ve just read that people are like buses and trains, when one leaves, another one comes. Have a nice day.

Yesterday was the birthday of my grand ma. she's now 79 years old.
The celebration was in a beautiful place called "Sarchì Sur", it is like two hours far from San Jose. The weather was fine, but a little bit hot, luckly there was a nice pool and a lots of trees that helped me to not feel so hot and could be relax together with my cousins.
While We all were resting my aunts were cooking a fantastic roast beef and a salad with tomato,onion and lemon, mmmm.
It was a great day, the most beatiful was when we sang birthday to my grandma who was so happy beside my granfather and all the family!!!!
Tomorrow I will have the final oral examination in English, I will work with Marilyn, I hope we do very well and we manage to win the course.
This English course has been very important to me, I think I've learned a lot and I have better tools to understand and speak English. I really need to learn more because I want to pursue a master, perhaps in a year or two.
I will look for another option courses, probably at night, because the time of day does not help for the work, so I hope to find an option that suits my possibilities of time and money.
Hello friends I'm so happy because today I finished the summer courses I was taking. I hope the new semester will be interesting, because I'm going to start studying to be a Spanish teacher. Therefore, I have to take very different courses I've taken before, because these courses are specifically pedagogy. Also, I'm happy because this next semester graduated in Spanish philology.
I wish the best for you in your new start and I want to say congratulations because you are finishing a stage and I hope you are going to be a great philologist.
Hello again I forgot to mention that, today, in the morning was my last oral presentation of my beloved English course. I think it was good, but the past tense confused lot. I hope to get a good grade. In these little vacation, I will practice more English, so I'll listen to music, read and watch movies in English.
Today was our last day of classes in pre-Intermediate and our final oral exam, I think I had never been so nervous as today, I don't know why, maybe because of the topic or maybe because of the other teacher.
I felt me really nervous, but well I think I did my best and I hope to have a good grade. If we pass this course, we will be in intermediate, it is good because means that we will learn more, and also we will see us in classes :-).
Now is time to have a leisure time, and rest before we start the semester.
I think We should meet one day to enjoy the little vacations that we have!!!!
Well, yestarday we finish our pre-intermediate course. My classmate Katherine and me talked about the most important inventions in the world. I think it was ok, and I hope to pass this course.
Besides, next week I'll have to deliver the documents to de COLYPRO (Colegio de Licenciados y profesores en Artes y Letras), because I need to be there to practice my profession.
I want to tell that today can be my last letter, because I'll try to participate more, (xD).
Yesterday I finished my course of English, I did my oral exam with Caro, I think we did well, we talk about some inventions that have revolutionized our times, after that, I was able to rest at home, I'll try to rest my 10 day vacation, because soon begin a new school year, in which I expect a lot of work...
I don't have many plans for these days, but I hope to sleep much at least, I think I'll go out with some friends, for sure I'll go to Acosta on Saturday where the family of my boyfriend, I'm feeling nervous, but I think it will be a nice ride.
Today I have to go pick up my average Portuguese think I was good, I hope.
To all my classmates of English, I wish you a happy rest and success in their lives, I hope see you in the another level.
Today I went to the dentist and I hated it, I am not going to explain you what the dentist did to me because I think it is a disgusting topic but I want to tell you that in this moment my teeth hurt, I couldn´t even eat because of the pain I feel. I hate the smell of that place and the flavor of the glatex gloves...!! Ohhhh and for worse the dentist loves football and that´s the only thing he talks about and it is boring because I don´t like football!!! As you could imagine I don´t like to go there but I have to go every month!!!! Yesterday I finished the english course and I am sad because I really liked it and I can not do the next course because of the university schedule =( but I hope I could do it this year, I really want to finish that english program.
Hi, we already finish are course but it was such a pleasure to be to go to this process with you guys. I hope to see the must of you in the next part of the English program.
Teacher you were great and I now we all are going to miss you. The movies and the songs were so interesting and I learn a lot from them.
Thank you for everything and I hope to see everyone soon.
You are right, it was a great course and I really liked the people, all you guys were so cool, I hope to see you in other courses and I wish the best for you.
The classes were interesting, as you said the movies were good, I loved the two we saw and some of the songs that we listened.
Today I do not know how or what to feel, I had a dream and I decided to see it as a message, I know that sounds crazy but it was good because I decided to do something that I had to do more than one year ago... And I hope that it is going to be good because it is a way to close a stage of my life, I really want to let it go...!
But I am excited too, because tomorrow there is a dinner in my sister´s house, it is not a common dinner... it is the first dinner because it is in her new house and my family is so happy because she worked very hard to get it, it was her dream and she sacrified a lot of thing to save the money to pay the materials and the construction, I am proud of her.
Yesterday I had a busy day. First of all I got up at 5:30 because I had to go to the "Supreme Tribunal of Elections" to make some hours for my TCU I was there from 8:00 to 12:00. Then I had a delicious lunch prepared for my mum, She is amazing and so especial that I think She's the best. Then I went to "Office of Foreign Relations" to get a document that goes to Panama, but I had to wait almost one hour for that because there was a big line. I think you know what I mean. Then I went to the office to gave the document to my boss and He gave me a lot of work and things to do, I received all that work with a smile.
Finally I was with my parents to the supermarket to buy food and other things. I got home at 8:30 pm so it was more than 12 hours outside of my home. And then to my bed......
I want to tell you that the last month was my first month in the gym and now I feel me so good, in fact I have improved my physical condition because I am in a training program called “High Performance”.
“The problem” is that this month as you all I will start the semester and I will have a very busy schedule and I will only have two nights free but I am going to try to continue doing exercises because it is good to improve our health our.
I liked high performance because is not the common exercise that one see in the most of the gyms, in high performance you always can do a different routine and that makes it not boring. To tell you the truth I don't like routines as spinning, treadmill, dumbbells and all those kind of things that usually people do in a common gym’s routine.
Well I think we should do exercise or practice any kind of sport because that is good for people like us that are studying.
Hello, today is a cold Sunday and is the day to go to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables, I my case my family always goes to Coronado’s market because there are more options to buy fresh and delicious food and sometimes is cheaper than the others places as supermarkets.
We like to go early to find the very best products and because there aren´t a lot of people. Like I always go with my mother She has taught me how to choose the and how to buy fruits and vegetables, is not difficult but one should be careful with that because some sellers might sell things that aren´t in a good conditions.
Also we have to be careful in how we accommodate those things in the bag, because some things might ruin. I usually drink some "agua de coco" and that is the best part to go to the market. Finally we get a taxi to go to home, when I get home I have to put in order all we buy.
Hi friend,
ReplyDeleteToday I write again because this morning I discovered the advantages for to be like invisible.
My music teacher got up a few crazier than normal days... He did at class get up for everybody run around while we chant the "chu chuá".
It is a song that ask to do ridiculous things.
This is the letter:
"Company, hands in front Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up,Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, head back, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, feet pinguino, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, shoulders up, duck tail, feet pinguino, tonge up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ..."
do you see? that things are really ridiculous, but I am a good wallflower... and I have a kind of super powers, because I only think to be invisible and my proffessor do not see me!
She (my teacher) thinks we are the babys or someting
well, this was all,
whit love,
Charlie
"Company, hands in front Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
DeleteCompany, hands in front, closed the fingers Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...
Company, hands in front, closed the fingers, thumbs up, Chu Chuá Chua Chu chuá ...”
I think that the song´s letter is very funny.
I would like learn it jajaja
Hi again!
ReplyDeleteToday my crazy music teacher wrote a lot in the table.
She was very strange. And in the recesses I can saw how she was crying...
But it is not all, she saw me that I saw she!!!
and she called me and I just die... but she said me that I am a good boy and She can to have the confianza white me.
I think It is an other perks for to be a wallflower... The people can give me her secrets because I do not have friends for talk others secrets and anything.
I am good but I am sad so...It is very difficult to explain but I am teenager :D
With love,
Charlie

ReplyDeleteDear friend,
Today I feel worried because yesterday I saw the schedule guide and I have two courses at the same time, so I have to decide which one matriculate, because if I enroll one I am going to fall behind one year and if I matriculate the other I will not be able to graduate this semester. So now I’m at a crossroads, but at least I have time for take the decision and think in that.
Love always,

Yesterday and today I was been sick, I think to have a flu, and this is very sad because I need study, make things for the university and work. I feel pain in all my body and dont have energy for nothing. Maybe tomorrow I will feel better, but I dont know. I need to prepare a presentation for my english class next tuesday, and still, I not be finished.
I am going to the bed in a few minutes because I have very cold and I dont want to be sick more. I hope write you tomorrow.

Hi! carolina

Hi guys, I maybe we had sick together because I was sick around that time too. The good thing is that we all are better now. :D
DeleteFebruary 11, 2013
ReplyDeleteDear friend,
I took an exam today, I hope to get a good grade, at first would be to do at home, but then the teacher said that some people didn’t read and didn’t go to lessons and for this we have to do the exam in the class, but wasn’t very difficult. This course is about teenagers and haw they think and learn, but I think that in education sometimes the theory is only that and isn’t very useful in practice, because all people are different and all act and learn in different ways, so maybe be better learn in other ways, for example working with teenagers directly.
Tomorrow I’m going to have the first oral exam in my English class; I think that I need work a lot in my English, but I don’t have a lot of time, but I’m trying.
Today I was thinking that things are not always as we expect, but everything has a reason and sometimes we just have to wait, but it’s so difficult wait…
That’s all for now, I’m going to do a work of university. I hope you have a good week!
Love always,

Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteYestarday, I did a speech for my english class, but I had some problems, cause I don't know why I was nervous when i was in front of the class. Last saturday I had to talk in English with a stranger and the conversation was ok, he understood me, but I don't explain me what happens in a class. Probably, it happens in a stress out moment.
Well, I wish you a Happy Valentine's day :)
Love always,

My experience was good. I liked that, was interesting to ask to my classmates and teacher about controversial topics in the history, for example: drugs, sexuality, society and more.Thanks
ReplyDeleteDear friend,
ReplyDeleteI`m really worried because I have a clase that is really difficult. Although i count with a little help I don´t feel its enough. Is a History course and I just can´t stop being worried. There are a lot of lectures and a very extensive investigation exam. :S

¿Did you remember I was sick? Well, today I feel better.
I am in a class of english learning how can use the page www.lyricstraining.com, and yesterday I did my explanation about the book and the movie, from the sociology of gender. I spoke about the sexual diversity in the society and the different cultures.
I will not no be in the next course of english, because a need work full time. I hope find other option for continue learning english this year. I am going to miss this group.
Love always,

Dear Friend:
ReplyDeleteI'm writing to say hi. It turns out that yesterday I did my oral presentation in the english class. I was a little worried about that, you know speaking out loud and stuff, mostly because I had the flu and I usually feel like dieing when I have to speak in public. But any way, I did not die so thats ok I guess.
Later that day I saw my boyfriend, and we talk for a long time and then we ate soup, that really made me feel a lot better.
I´m planning my schedule for college rigth now and I´m trying to make that work with my other obligations, however, I hope to write back at you soon.

ReplyDeleteDear friend,
Today I had to walk a lot because I missed the bus, so me and my brother had to walk in the street like 15 minutes and then the bus was full, so was a strange morning.
Then I came to english class, and I delivered my oral presentation about the book and the movie The perks of being a wallflower. I liked that, but I prefer the book, because the movie omitte some things importants and that could be more productive, like social problems, for example abortion.
In the afternoon I´m going to go to classes and I have to delivery other oral presentation about the bullying in Costa Rica, I hope that will be fine.
It´s always for now!
Love always,
Karol
Dear friends
ReplyDeleteThe oral presentations of everyone was very good so congratulations!
That kind of practise is neccesarly to improve our speaking english and to learn more about some specific topics in others majors like psychology,sociology, social work and law.
It is also importan to know the opinion of you about the book that we read and the movie we watched. I think there are a lot of things that we learnt, and now we can understand more of the people's problems and over all about young people's problems. In my case I would like to do a similar assignment again.
I hope to see everybody in intermediate :-)
Love Always

ReplyDeleteI'm here again, I just want to tell you what I did yesterday, because I was so nervous for the "oral presentartion day". That's what I have to do twice in my English course. And it is so difficult for me cause I have to speak in english infront of my classmates and my teacher. May be it can be easy for someone who speaks a lot of english, however, I'm learnign now, and I´m trying to develop my lenguage skills, that ability comes from some knowledge and put in practice these klowledge. I migth learn more, and I really want to speak english well, cause it is so important for my carrer!!
see ya!!
love always

Dear Friend Isaac. I´m so sorry for forgettin that we were suppose to do are final oral exam together I swear that I thought that you were already with another person please forgive me :D

Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult to be part of this blog because I had to create a gmail account amd I hate that process because gmail hates me!!!!
Today I did an oral presentation in the English course, we began yesterday with the presentations but I was nervous so I decided not to participated yesterday and I think it was a good idea because today I felt more confident!!!! I do not if I was good for the other but I liked it!!!
I want to share wiht you something I wrote for that presentation..
"I believe that people always know that they want but they are afraid to do that… maybe for them or maybe for someone else, I mean that sometimes we are afraid to make up ours minds and take the decisions we want and not what the world expected from us.
We just stay there, expecting for someone brave who make up his/her mind and do what we did no were able to do. Or maybe we just not do things because where are not ready yet… I do not know, I have been thinking those things in the last weeks but I have not found the right answer"
Right now I feel tired because yesterday I was so tired that I could not sleep as well I wanted to!! And today I can not go home and sleep because I have to prepare a mischief for tomorrow!!! So I will tell you about it later...
Have a wonderful valentine day!!!
With love, Karo

ReplyDeleteDear friend,
Today I had my first oral presentation at my english classes, it was about the book we just read named "The perks of being a wallflower" In my analysis I talked about how I see Charlie, what were his fears and his desires.I also exposed some social stereothypes and how they're broken in the story.At the end of it I tried to talk from my perspective as a future social worker, I mentioned the importance of work with young people in social exclusion risk in order to improve their social skills and to overcome discrimination between teen population. Well... there were many aspects I wanted to stand out but I was so nervous and I just did it very fast, I don't know why! because our teacher is so glad with us and he's not the kind of teacher who intimadates his students. However I'm going to work in this area, I wanna improve my oral presentations.
with love,
France.
Hi France, I understand what you mean, the same thing happened to me. But I supposed that is pretty normal because we are learning. Don't worry you did great.
DeleteDear friend
ReplyDeleteToday, I was going late to my english class because I missed the university bus. But then, I was very happy because I had a funny class. I had an oral presentation and I spoke abouth the title of a film that we wachted.
I think that it´s very interesting the classrom where we take the course because we can use computers and is very interactive. For example, we practiced english listening songs individually.
I hope that the next course will be funny too.
Regards!
Roxana
Hi classmates! You are well?
ReplyDeleteAll the presentations were greats, congratulations! I could learn more about theirs careers,was very interesting to know differents points of view. My presentation was very short, I chose a topic beacuse I had similar situation to Charlie. I losed my brother trhree years ago in an accident, all my life change beacuse this. When this situation happend I needed help too, for this reason in my presentation I said : ALL CAN VICTIMS!
Remeber,

Yesterday I had to deliver an oral presentation about my point of view of the book "The perks of being a wallflower". At first I didn't know the subject of the book that I had focus (there were a lot) so I decided to be focus on "The lacks of comunication in the adolescence and their consequences" and "Friendship". I tried to explain that being alone is not good at all because if we don't express our feelings we won't be able to take a decision. We need someone advices. Well in the exposition I felt that I need to improve my english,because it's was a little impromptu and I did not explain too clear my points..so I hope at least the teacher have understood me!! :)

ReplyDeleteDear Friends
I'm feeling sick lately, I'm taking pills for the sore throat but today I had to deliver my oral presentation in this course of English that I'm taking, I was the third to speak, I felt a little nervous, but It used to happen to me, when I say something in public for many people, I have to overcome my fears, I know! I'm trying...
My oral presentation wasn't really good, I did my best, I think, I really don't have to much free time. Also I have to role play, in the afternoon in my course of Portuguese, It's name is Deus è brasileiro, I have to made the role of Madà, I haven't learned all my speech.
At night I have to go to church, with my brother, and my boyfriend wants to go with me, but I have to do staffs before.
I have to go to buy too, the present to my boyfriend for Valentine's day, I have many things to do,
I hope I reach the time...

Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that many of us have been having problems with the website of the university (ematricula.ucr.co.cr), which as many know is never efficient for so many users, this issue stresses me out, because I'm afraid of not finish it for a simple registration system error, hope it does not happen and my teacher advisor quickly check my preregistration ...
Good luck to all with this issue.
This weekend, I have to study, I'm almost ending the two summer courses I've taken. I have portuguez quiz and exam this week, will try to study to get a good grade, besides that I really like it.
Love always,

ReplyDeleteToday was the graduation day for some of my classmates, I was so happy for them. Seeing all this family's so full of pride and joy brings tears to my eyes.
Most of them are close friends of mine and we usually do everything together, so I was a little sad that we din't get to graduate at the same time. I know that I choose this but never the less I'm still a little sad.
You know, I choose to go to graduation in april, because my sister is comming to the country around that time. I hope the watting will be worth it.
Love always,

Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteToday, the teacher of the english course gave me the grammar quiz, and I got a bad grade, I need study more for the next quiz, because I want win the course. It`s a little dificult for me learn the conjugation of the verbs in all the times.
Also, I have problems for speak in english, because I need to practice more the sentences structure. But I want learn to speak better, and I know I will that.
Love Always,

Hi Carolina
DeleteI understand you because to me it´s the same. I have to practice more because for me it´s difficult speak in English fast.
But, I believe that depends of the time since you have been studying the language.
Then, we will improve.
See you later
dear friends,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't written to you in a couple of days, it's just that on weekends I usually visit my family and friends in Atenas and I don't have so much time, but I think you'd understand. Today I had my english classes and I`m happy because I got good grades on the grammar quiz and the oral presentation, and the more important fact is that I really feel I´m learning.
But what made me happiest today was that I saw Erin and Danae, my friends from CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) at the UCR! I haven't seen them since the past december and they came back to CR yesterday so I'm verry glad and grateful cause they're here again.

ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo happy, yesterday was my graduation. I obtained a bachelor's degree in Spanish Philology. For five years I had to study a lot, to learn latin, greek, syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, literature... But, now I know that all the effort was worth it.
Now, I want to finish my "Licenciatura" and a master's degree in social communication. Yes, I know, I have a lot of dreams, but I have a perfect tool to do everything... GOD! Lord has been always with me, and he helps me all the time :)
Remember... Don't tell God "I have a big problem"... Tell your problem you have a great God!

ReplyDeleteI could not write anymore because I've been busy. This week, I had to make an oral presentation in a course, its name is "oral expression" and for that, we have to practice public speaking. But, I think there are many formalisms, because if you are talking and the people understand, no matter other things like clothes or vocabulary, etc.
But, I have learned many things, that are important and I hope that I will use in a future.
Well, I will write soon.
Bye
Dear friends
ReplyDeleteI noticed that all of us have been very busy this days. I guess is kind of crazy trying to make all our responsibilities work at the same time.
I have read a lot this days, mostly because once that the semester begins a have almost no time at all and that oportunity is taken from me.
While reading I realice how much I normaly leave behind for collegue. But at the same time I win a little bit of knowlege and a lot of lost hours of sleep.
I have to tell you, I'm glad that I got the oportunity of going in to the english class, I really really like going their. The people are nice, and the subjects are interesting. Thinking that I'm going to take this class again the next semester makes me hopeful.
Love always,

ReplyDeleteI am sorry, I didn't forget to write to you but my uncle was fixing my computer.
I want to tell you about my last trip, on friday I went to Prusia in Cartago, it is like a forest. I went with my boyfriend and my best friend.
Someone told us that there was 1 kilometer between Prusia and the "Sanatorio Duran" but the when we were in the Sanatorio we asked to a woman and she told us that minimum we had to walk 3 hours!!!!! But we were lucky because we could take a taxi, so we didn't have to walk to Prusia. But in the afternoon we had to... And yesterday I couldn't walk because I feel pain in all my body!!!
But it was an amazing experience, it was a wonderful place... but you have to go there by car!!!

Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you, than I fell a little nervous latelly,because this is going to be my first year of practice in social work, And I have to choose one area of interest, but all are really interEsting.
There are few places to practice and my generating of third year is big, I have fear of not being able to choose the area I want, because they are only 11 fields for the workshop (taller) On the "ciudadela 25 de julio," which is about the issue of poverty and criminalization, I love this topiC, and the place it is close to my house.
Tomorrow is the day of registration, so is crucial because, unfortunately, IT'S BY grades, my turn is in the afternoon, I hope to find a field in the area I want, there are 5 more workshops, but are areas that interest me as much as this ...

ReplyDeleteYesterday was the birthday of my grand ma. she's now 79 years old.
The celebration was in a beautiful place called "Sarchì Sur", it is like two hours far from San Jose. The weather was fine, but a little bit hot, luckly there was a nice pool and a lots of trees that helped me to not feel so hot and could be relax together with my cousins.
While We all were resting my aunts were cooking a fantastic roast beef and a salad with tomato,onion and lemon, mmmm.
It was a great day, the most beatiful was when we sang birthday to my grandma who was so happy beside my granfather and all the family!!!!
Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I will have the final oral examination in English, I will work with Marilyn, I hope we do very well and we manage to win the course.
This English course has been very important to me, I think I've learned a lot and I have better tools to understand and speak English. I really need to learn more because I want to pursue a master, perhaps in a year or two.
I will look for another option courses, probably at night, because the time of day does not help for the work, so I hope to find an option that suits my possibilities of time and money.
thanks for everything!

Also, I'm happy because this next semester graduated in Spanish philology.

ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that, today, in the morning was my last oral presentation of my beloved English course. I think it was good, but the past tense confused lot. I hope to get a good grade.
In these little vacation, I will practice more English, so I'll listen to music, read and watch movies in English.
Thanks for readme :)
Good bye
Dear friends
ReplyDeleteToday was our last day of classes in pre-Intermediate and our final oral exam, I think I had never been so nervous as today, I don't know why, maybe because of the topic or maybe because of the other teacher.
I felt me really nervous, but well I think I did my best and I hope to have a good grade. If we pass this course, we will be in intermediate, it is good because means that we will learn more, and also we will see us in classes :-).
Now is time to have a leisure time, and rest before we start the semester.
I think We should meet one day to enjoy the little vacations that we have!!!!
Love always

Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteI want to tell that today can be my last letter, because I'll try to participate more, (xD).
Yesterday I finished my course of English, I did my oral exam with Caro, I think we did well, we talk about some inventions that have revolutionized our times, after that, I was able to rest at home, I'll try to rest my 10 day vacation, because soon begin a new school year, in which I expect a lot of work...
I don't have many plans for these days, but I hope to sleep much at least, I think I'll go out with some friends, for sure I'll go to Acosta on Saturday where the family of my boyfriend, I'm feeling nervous, but I think it will be a nice ride.
Today I have to go pick up my average Portuguese think I was good, I hope.
To all my classmates of English, I wish you a happy rest and success in their lives, I hope see you in the another level.
Love always,
Marilyn. :)
Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteToday I went to the dentist and I hated it, I am not going to explain you what the dentist did to me because I think it is a disgusting topic but I want to tell you that in this moment my teeth hurt, I couldn´t even eat because of the pain I feel. I hate the smell of that place and the flavor of the glatex gloves...!! Ohhhh and for worse the dentist loves football and that´s the only thing he talks about and it is boring because I don´t like football!!! As you could imagine I don´t like to go there but I have to go every month!!!!
Yesterday I finished the english course and I am sad because I really liked it and I can not do the next course because of the university schedule =( but I hope I could do it this year, I really want to finish that english program.
Love always,
Karo

Dear friends,
ReplyDeleteToday I do not know how or what to feel, I had a dream and I decided to see it as a message, I know that sounds crazy but it was good because I decided to do something that I had to do more than one year ago... And I hope that it is going to be good because it is a way to close a stage of my life, I really want to let it go...!
But I am excited too, because tomorrow there is a dinner in my sister´s house, it is not a common dinner... it is the first dinner because it is in her new house and my family is so happy because she worked very hard to get it, it was her dream and she sacrified a lot of thing to save the money to pay the materials and the construction, I am proud of her.
Love always,

ReplyDeleteYesterday I had a busy day. First of all I got up at 5:30 because I had to go to the "Supreme Tribunal of Elections" to make some hours for my TCU I was there from 8:00 to 12:00. Then I had a delicious lunch prepared for my mum, She is amazing and so especial that I think She's the best. Then I went to "Office of Foreign Relations" to get a document that goes to Panama, but I had to wait almost one hour for that because there was a big line. I think you know what I mean. Then I went to the office to gave the document to my boss and He gave me a lot of work and things to do, I received all that work with a smile.
Finally I was with my parents to the supermarket to buy food and other things. I got home at 8:30 pm so it was more than 12 hours outside of my home. And then to my bed......
Love always

ReplyDeleteI want to tell you that the last month was my first month in the gym and now I feel me so good, in fact I have improved my physical condition because I am in a training program called “High Performance”.
“The problem” is that this month as you all I will start the semester and I will have a very busy schedule and I will only have two nights free but I am going to try to continue doing exercises because it is good to improve our health our.
I liked high performance because is not the common exercise that one see in the most of the gyms, in high performance you always can do a different routine and that makes it not boring. To tell you the truth I don't like routines as spinning, treadmill, dumbbells and all those kind of things that usually people do in a common gym’s routine.
Well I think we should do exercise or practice any kind of sport because that is good for people like us that are studying.
Love always

ReplyDeleteHello, today is a cold Sunday and is the day to go to the market to buy some fruits and vegetables, I my case my family always goes to Coronado’s market because there are more options to buy fresh and delicious food and sometimes is cheaper than the others places as supermarkets.
We like to go early to find the very best products and because there aren´t a lot of people. Like I always go with my mother She has taught me how to choose the and how to buy fruits and vegetables, is not difficult but one should be careful with that because some sellers might sell things that aren´t in a good conditions.
Also we have to be careful in how we accommodate those things in the bag, because some things might ruin. I usually drink some "agua de coco" and that is the best part to go to the market. Finally we get a taxi to go to home, when I get home I have to put in order all we buy.
Love always
