My blogging experience

Talk about my exeperience means that this is the last blog? Have to be the last, because the semester it's over. It's supposed this week I only should study for my exams, but here I am, writing the last blog TT. Will we write more blogs the next semester? I hope so. Have only theoretical  class sounds awful.

I have to admit sometimes wrote a blog was boring for me. And also was frustrating, because express myself in other language was difficult to me (and still do). But, at the end I really enjoy this. I think about all the boring things that I did in my english class in school, and now I feel thankful, because write a blog is a funny way to learn english and apply it to daily things. It's not just a theoretical class. Write a blog make you apply what you know and search for more, because never it's enough, you always will need know a little more. Search a word, translate a all sentence in google and that kind of thing that you do when you want to learn something.

I think I improved. I still have to learn so much about this language, but now I don't use "google translate" as I did before. If I wanna get better, I have to start formulating my own sentences. I still using wordreference.com so much, because I always forget some words. I still have this problem with verbs. I should use past, but I forget or I don't know the verb in past. Now, at least, I have the consideration to google-it (Something I feel I'm still a mess. But at least I try TT )

Today, I want to confess my sin. When I wasn't know what more write in my blog, I search in my classmate's blogs to find something useful to write about... YES, THIS SOUND AWFUL TT. I don't copy and paste what they said, I just read and take ideas to write about. I hope this does not interfere with my grade (If I have emojis, I will use here the two-hands praying.) I only do it sometimes, not always.

It was a great experence. I really enjoy it. I always wrote more than what my teacher asked. I really enjoy write. Someday, I wanna write a story, but I think I still need learn more vocabullary for this (specially verbs!!!!!). When I know all the vocabulary that I need to understand scientific papers, I think I will try. In the future I would like do more activities with scientific english. I will need it all my like as biochemist.

This is the end. Am I the only person who feels nostalgia?? Should I say goodbye now?? This probably will be the more awkard farewell in the world.
Goodbye. I hope see you soon in the future.

From the invisible to the visible world and back

Talk about things that we can't see it's difficult. But, talk about something that you can't see and also, you can not understand, it's worst. I know, I'm studying biochemistry, I should know more about this kind of things, but the true is I never felt very interested about this topic before. The first time that I heard about "nanoparticles", I was to young to understand what it means. I grow up thinking "nanoparticles" was a small robots who can destroy the world in the hands of wrong people. (So much TV, lmao).

So, still now, I usually talked about myself, or about things that I know, but today, before a little-research I think I just will answer the questions that my professor made.

-What are the nanoparticles?
particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. They have many potential applications in medicine, optics, and electronics.

Materials:
Carbon-based materials. Metals, mainly gold and silver (Although metals such as Titanium dioxide, Iron and cerium are under investigation for being considered unhealthy)

Techniques to obtain nanoparticles:
Attrition, pyrolysis and hydrothermal synthesis. (Please don't make me explain this or I will copy and paste a wikipedia explanation).

What are they used for?
There's a lot of uses, but the main ones are things like medicine, energy, construction, etc, etc, etc. (I found that nanoparticles can be harmful for health and for environment, so I just can think about "Nanoparticles can destroy the world", how happen in movies. )

What importance they have in my career.
A lot of importance, of course. A large percentage of my career is research about how things work in its smallest state, and also is so focus in the topic of the last point.

Why you chose them?
Chose them? I don't choose anything, I just talking about what my teacher asking for TT. If I can choose, I probably choose a totally different topic.

From here, all questions have to do with something I chose. I know I was should talk about a specific technique. I don't know why I didn't. I think maybe because that it would have been so hard that scares me a little. I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I spent an hour reading "wikipedia" in english, so, I feel satisfied.
I promise I will do my best the next time. See ya!

The most enjoyable subject thus far

I think my favorite subject still now is Chemistry. When I know I have to study something, but I don't wanna study it, I study chemistry. It's funny because when the classes started, I don't liked it so much, I wasn't understend and I get frustrated often. But now, even if I haven't the best mark, I really feel happy when I study it, what is nice, because this is the beginning of what I want to do. 

I think study chemistry it's so important, because it explain what is happen in a diminute space. This helps you to understand the structure of things. We actually seen "solution" and "coordination compounds". I can't belive I will have a test last friday! I hope obtain a good mark.

Thursday and wednesday I have theoric classes and Friday exercises and a little test. I admit, in the beggining I really have bad marks, but today I had a test and I think I will have a good mark. I really like my "assistant" (I don't know really if she is a assistan or a tutoress or whatever, all I know is that she is in charge in my friday's activities), her name is Dominique. Today was so sad, because we wouldn't have more class whit her TT. I also like my teacher Santiago Zolezzi. I think I haven't a reason why I like, I just do it. 

Other subject I like is laboratory techniques, even if I get frustrated every time. I'm very disorderly and imprecise. One time, we was making a "experiment" (I'm not sure how translate my concept, in spanish is: "titulación") and the first two weren't result me. But the third was going very well, until I accidentally turned the flask and poured the substance on the table. It was terrible. That is the reason because when I said I'm careless, I really mean it! But the experience helps! the other day we do a distillation and I did it well, without incident.

I think I really like all my class, with a exception: physics. But, how I said the last time, no matter what, I will approve! 

Website I enjoy!

In my university it’s getting starter the “exam period”, so I really have my mind in the clouds. I think I can’t speak about an expert on my field that I admire, so I decided share with us a website that I visit so much recently:

https://www.fisicalab.com/

The web is in spanish because if I had trouble to understand the subject, I don’t want to think about the nightmare it would be study in english. I know I will improve with time, but I have to take my time to progress. 

Fisicalab.com really make me enjoy study physics. It’s a dinamic website which classified the subject according to their level of complexity. I still have a lot to study and sometimes I get frustrated because don’t matter how much I try, I don’t progress. But I still optimist! Baby steps is the key to success and I still have a month before the final test.

If you want to learn physics with me, you can watch:

I saw the video when I was studying for the first examen. My mark wasn’t so high, but I keep the faith to approve!
I think this is all for today. The next week I'll have a test and I need study more! TT
See ya.
