Experience in Online Classes

 My experience with online classes is varied. In general, as has happened to most of my colleagues, it is difficult to learn through a screen, but I think what has made teaching more difficult is that the classes and the teachers are not suitable for this modality. 

Online teaching has been practiced for years by universities or institutes specialized in it. For example, my mom studied an online postgraduate course on psychology at an Argentine university a few years ago. She told me that she learned a lot and that the teachers were good. 

I think that as a university, counting the professors and the students, we were not prepared for two semesters with that modality and even less studying journalism. The way the university teaches journalism is very dynamic and active, already in the first year they make the students go to report. The current university curriculum does not allow for online classes.

I personally enjoyed the online classes at first. I was motivated to wake up and 5 minutes later be in class having a coffee. The problem was that my concentration didn't last even the first hour, plus many teachers only talked and didn't give the classes any energy so I got lost in the subject. 

The first semester was easier, I don't know if it was because the professors were sympathetic to us or because of the branches I had, but this second semester it became impossible. 

As I told in the previous blog, I am currently working as a professional soccer player and my time is not my own, it belongs to my club. I must be free at the times they want and train when they tell me to. This not only takes away my freedom in my personal life but it also doesn't allow me to go to all the classes. Not going to all the classes makes me fall behind in my classes and having to turn in work doesn't leave me time to look at the material so I end up with nothing.

It is true that there are good things like not having hours to travel to study, studying in bed, seeing the class with a great view of a park, having time to help out at home or being more with your loved ones. But there are more bad things like having a headache from spending too much time in front of the computer, reading PDFs and not being able to read paper, not seeing your friends, getting too stressed out from not knowing how to use the tools of the web and from all the things that have to be delivered. Some professors believe that because we're at home all day we should just be doing things for college.

In conclusion, online classes would not be so terrible if we all knew how to adapt.

Soccer is my job

I am currently a journalism student and a professional soccer player. So I'm literally already working and oddly enough it's the job I want to have. I've been playing soccer since I was 5 years old and they always told me that it wasn't going to be a job. At the age of 20 I signed my first employment contract and it was also my first contract as a professional footballer. It is a dream and a privilege.

 

Everyone says that my career should be a journalist and my hobby should be a footballer, but for me it is the other way around. I want to focus on my sports career and when I can't continue playing I will continue my journalistic career.

 

I want to work in sports journalism, specifically to be part of the press for teams or national teams. That way I will continue to be part of a soccer team and continue to travel the world.

As I have read in the blogs of some colleagues, we all want to travel. It is something very common among journalists, but throughout my life what has led me the most to know the world is soccer.

My dogs

 I have 3 Schnauzer dogs. My dad bought the first one a few years ago and it was truly a joy for the family because we had always wanted a dog (Kim).

A few years later I arrive at the Kira house. A very cute and manipulative dog thanks to her beauty.

These two crazy people had several little children and I asked my father if we could keep one. This fat guy's name is Koke and he's my favorite. Has a personality very similar to mine.

But my most important pet is Koba. She is Kira's daughter, but not Kim's, and we adopted her with my girlfriend. He has been with us for 7 months and makes us very happy. She is playful, fast, agile and very pretty. He has very cute eyes and his ears stood on their own, he looks like a wolf. It makes me very happy because it helped us build a much bigger family

"Nobody loves me, they all hate me better I eat a little worm"

How difficult it is to think of the best song ever. I do not like fanaticism in any aspect, be it artists, footballers, actors, etc.

I don't think she's a good music critic either. I like the simple. Music with an urban rhythm, sometimes romantic music, and sometimes tropical music. And I really don't think any song of those rhythms has lyrics so significant as to name it the best song ever. Also, my favorite song is changing almost every year because Bad Bunny puts out songs every year on every new album. So I didn't pick one song over another.

So I'll do something similar to the teacher. I will think about my childhood and I will remember songs that were important or that marked something in me.

I am the middle daughter. I have an older brother and a younger brother, I am also the only woman, so I felt that I did not have much attention from my parents. Besides that, I really liked dancing to children's songs.

One day I don't remember if for a birthday or a school event I had to dance to the song that says: "Nobody loves me, they all hate me better I eat a little worm"

I danced it and sang with such emotion that I was almost screaming. My mom always tells me that I felt the song so much that she started to worry. From that moment on, he occupies the song to annoy her and we laugh about it. I think it's the best song ever because of what it means to me and my mom and because it never goes out of style.
