                                        Journal entry # 8



 Journals, journals and journals, this is the word that I've hated the most during this

semester but at the same time this word means for me constancy and perseverance. Now,

while I'm writing this last journal entry I realize how much it has helped me to improve my

english writing skills. I've grew up as a writer in english in so many ways. I think that the

most important is that now I think as a writer in english, I mean before I used to think in

spanish and then put all those ideas in english. This sometimes worked but in other

occasions it just didn't, and that made me feel really frustated. Then I realize that being a

good writer in other language means that you MUST TO think in that language and not try

to adjust your language into the other language. Other thing that I think it's important to

mention is that now I know more words than I used to know, and I'm pretty sure that it's

thanks to all those journals entries that I hated as much as you can't imagine. Now I

understand that common saying that says GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME.


I remember that in the first part of the semester I did really good journal entries but then

when Iriana gave me back the midterm paper I just CAN NOT believe what my eyes saw. I've

have never before got grade in an essay like the one that I got that day. And the worst part

was that I did so many mistakes that even someone with a basic level of english wouldn't

have made. Before english TI4 I didn't have to take so many time thinking about how to do a

good writing, I just wrote whatever and I got good grades. Now it's completely different.

Iriana is a demanding teacher and let's be honest we hate that but also I have to recognize


                                                1
that if now we have a better level in english writing is thanks to that annoying teacher

hahah. I think that the major setback that I had to tackle was myself. Everytime when Iriana

gave me back the papers I got upset and said COME ON, SHE IS EVEN TAKING POINTS OFF

FOR THESE LITTLE MISTAKES. I could say that I was blind but then I saw that it was not

unfair, that it helped me in so many ways because it made me more careful everytime I

wrote.


What I'm most proud of is that I'm gonna pass the course haha, just kidding. Well, I'm not

sure. I could say that I'm proud of my growth as a writer in English but I think it is just a little

part of what it really means. What I'm really proud of is that I show to myself that I can work

under pressure and produce really good papers. Also that I learn that a demanding teacher

is not a kind of evil person that just want you to fail the course. On the contrary, a

demanding teacher helps you to see what you did wrong and how you can improve it. I'm

really happy, I spent a good time in classes even though I had to fight with the attendance

every single day hahah. I'm gonna miss all of my classmates and of course Iriana, but I can't

lie I'm counting down the days. I just can't wait until classes are over, an snowing season is

waiting for me :D
