I'm back

Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last entry since I have been very busy with homeworks and all the stuff. I have liked my career so far. All the subjects I'm taking are very interesting. I have learned a lot of things specially a little bit of words in Latin and nahuatl. The thing is that they are very difficult to say. However, I miss everyone, but I know they are having a great time since i have talked with most of them. Well, I gotta go since I'm really hungry. See you, take care!

Final Math Blog (Sadness is possessing me)

Hello, everyone! It has been a while since my last entry, but I had my partial exams during this week, so I didn’t have a lot of time to post an entry. I must say that I’m exhausted since I had to do not only exams, but also partial projects that certain professors left until the end. Anyways, I have just finished my Math project as I had already told you, but I would like to talk about certain issues or just give a reflection about the whole project, which I found very interesting.

Thanks to the WebQuest, I learned many things about Forensic Science. However, there is one thing I learned the most, which is that details and Math are always together. Through the Webquest I learned that in order to solve the case, I had to consider every single detail, especially, when I was using Math because if I didn’t have the correct temperature, I wouldn’t get all the operations correctly. Therefore, when you are trying to solve any mathematical problem, you need to consider the most minimum aspect that is presented to you in order to get the correct answer, and in this case, find the time of death and the guilty person.

I really liked all the things this WebQuest taught me that I would really like it to be used in other subjects. You may ask, why? Well, the thing is that through the WebQuest a student doesn’t only learn just how to apply the knowledge he or she learned during class, but also he or she learns more things about other subjects and some extra information that he or she may not know and that will allow him or her to know more about the applications of technology and/or Math in a specific topic, just like what happened with this WebQuest.

When I began the project, I thought everything was perfect and that the project didn’t need anything to be corrected, but now, I think that the only thing that was wrong in the project was the duration of the video because when I was watching the videos with my friends, I felt that the stories didn’t have many drama because they had to be very short and if a story doesn’t have too much drama, it isn’t very interesting at all. Therefore, the teacher should let the students make it of 15 minutes since 10 minutes doesn’t allow them to create a very good and entertaining story. Out of this, everything else is just perfect.

In conclusion, the project and the WebQuest were great because they allowed me to learn more things about Forensic Science and to apply Math in a real life situation. I wish the WebQuest would be used in other subjects since it turned out to be very interesting.

Well, looks like this is it for today since I’m pretty tired from the conferences and activities I had today at school and which were pretty funny and interesting. I really had a good time and learned a lot of things not only about Maseca, but also about presentation and myself. See you! Have a nice weekend!

Peace before Partial Exams

Hello, everyone! I’m back again. Another week has passed and pretty fast I dare say. This week was very calmed in comparison with others. However, what always happens is going to happen again. The teachers will leave all the partial projects for this week and my friends and I are going to be full of work, so we won’t be able to rest enough for the exams and we will be like zombies during the week. I hate when the teachers do this because they could have told us about the projects and made the rubrics since the beginning of the partial, but like always, they leave everything for the last and the ones who pay the consequences are us by having a low performance not only in classes but in the exams too.

Anyway, on Monday, I have my math test and even though I saw a few themes during the partial, the ones that I have to study require a lot of procedures in order to get the answer and the graph. I hope the teacher makes an easy test.

Today, I watched all the movies my friends made as a partial project for math class. They were amazing. I laughed a lot with all the movies even though I got a bit tired because there were 14 movies, but they were great. I must congratulate my friends for their great work.

I guess this it for today since I want to go to bed because I’m pretty tired and tomorrow, I have a lot of things to do, in which studying is included. Take care! See you!

Amazing, Tiring and Learning Week

Hello, everyone! This week was amazing, but very tiring. During the whole week, the candidates to be queen organized many activities in order to gain the votes of the students. All the activities were very funny because they were different from other years, especially how Wisy arrived to the school. She really caught everyone’s attention.

As I had mentioned, this week was very tiring. All the teachers overloaded us with homework. Some of them were simple, but others were too complicated in the sense that I had to check every single detail, especially with the story I had to write for the contest the school organized. I didn’t like this contest at all since it was imposed to my friends and me by the school. I don’t like when the school does this. It feels as though it is blackmailing us since it always finds a way to relate it with a subject, so it conditions our grade in that certain subject with our participation in the contest. I must say that I’m not the only one that is bothered with this because this always happens during all the semesters. But today, the teachers had to pay a huge price since now; they had to check all the stories made by the students. I think this was a good thing, so now they will think twice about involving participating in a contest a percentage of their subject because it was a lot of work for them. Moreover, I found this sort of funny since all the teachers were stressed out checking all the stories. I guess they felt how we feel when we have lots of homework and we have to work as fast as possible just to get their homework done. I think this was a good lesson for them.

Also, during this week, my team and I recorded certain scenes for the final project, but the thing is that we got behind schedule because of the tragedy one of our team’s member had, so this weekend we have to work as fast as we can in order to get the project done in time.

Looks like this is it for today, since I have to go to bed because I have to wake up pretty early tomorrow in order for my team and I to record the scenes that we are missing; I’ll be posting a new entry next week , so don’t miss it. Take care! See you!

What a Week!

Hello, everyone! I’m back. I had a good week. I had lots of homework to do and I also had to record certain scenes for my math partial project, but I have to say that my math project has turned out to be really funny. My teammates and I have come up with a great deal of ideas for the filming that everyone will like. However, it has been very difficult to film during the week because everyone has different activities during the week, so our schedules rarely agreed and we didn’t have the chance to film many scenes, but we have pretty good ideas for the video. We don’t know if everyone will think the same, but at least they will be entertained.

This week I have been a little sad because my mom isn’t here. She went to Guadalajara with my brother in order to help him buy certain things that he needs for the house he lives in and that my brother doesn’t have much experience buying. Anyway, somehow I have managed to have everything under control at my house by doing the chores my mom did and now, I can understand why my mom ends pretty tired at the end of each day. Now, I see that being a housewife is very difficult, but I can handle it since I have taken her role in other occasions, so I’m pretty used to it now. The good thing is that my dad and my cousin help me with the chores, but at the end I’m responsible of everyone. I hope my mom gets back soon since I’m not used to be alone at my house. Well, looks like I’ll have to continue with the actual situation, but somehow I’ll survive.

Well, looks like this is it since I have to rehearse for the scenes I’m going to film tomorrow with my team and I have to prepare supper not only for my dad and cousin and me, but also for my aunt and my other cousin that are visiting us right now. Therefore, I leave you for the moment, but I’ll come back the next week with a good entry. See you! Have a good weekend!

C E N E V A L

Hello, everyone! It has been quite a while since I haven’t written in my Blog. The reason is that I had a very busy week, full of homework and I was studying for the Ceneval exam, which I had today. I think that it is good that this exam is applied, but it was pretty tiring since it took me four hours to finish it. I’m completely tired. Also, it was harder than the guide that I used to study for it. The good thing is that I was capable of solving all the math problems that I had really fast, but the grammar part was very difficult. I don’t know why they put it so hard. One of the things that I discovered with this exam was that I like more numbers than letters. I must say that I was really nervous in the exam since there were things that I didn’t know about especially about Biology. I think the problem was that I had a lot of pressure on me since the teachers told us that they were going to count it for our final grades and that I didn’t know certain things because I had never heard of them in my entire life. I know I won’t get a perfect score since it had very difficult questions, but I hope to get a higher one, especially since I tried the I best I could when I was solving it.

Well, I think that’s it for today. I hope I get a good score. I’ll have my fingers crossed. I have to go since I have the TOEFL exam tomorrow and I need to get more than 550 points in it. In order to do this, I need to have a good sleep, so I’m going to bed right away. See you! Have a good weekend!

Vacations

Hello, everyone! After a long week of exams and partial projects, I can finally rest. I am really tired of all the work I had to do during this week. I don't know why teachers always tend to leave the partial projects during the week of exams and don't tell us about them at the beginning of each partial. Apparently, I won't be able to rest completely during my vacations since the teachers have given my friends and I homework to do during vacations. I don't like the idea at all, but I'll have to do it. Also, I have to study for Ceneval, so I'm not going to be able to rest the way I wanted. Well, looks like this is it for today since I'm tired and I want to sleep. See you! Have a nice vacations!
