Hello! My name is Amalia and I am a fourth year student in the elementary education program at the UofR. I am 22 years old and I have lived in Regina for most of my life.
Both of my teachers were English teachers in Taiwan when I was younger, so we lived there for a few years. Living there caused me to really have a taste for spicy food! It is my favourite now.
I also lived in the United Arab Emirates in 2023, when I studied abroad at the American University of Sharjah. That was definitely my favourite experience throughout my whole time in University. I made many friends there and I go back during Christmas breaks. Fun Fact: I was actually the first student at the University of Regina to study abroad in the middle east!
I am interested in all things creative. I love painting, digital art, cooking and baking, and interior decor. A summer project that I want to pick up this year is crocheting. I also really love cats. My whole instagram feed is all about cats. My cat is black and his name is Leo (short for Leonardo).
I am quite excited about this class, because the assignments seem very creative and engaging. Another fun fact: I had a blog when I was younger called “Amalia’s Stuff” where I talked all about my interests and my daily life.
Hi Amalia!
It’s so nice to meet you! The United Arab Emirates looks incredibly beautiful. I am curious if you will ever go back for a vacation or live there.
You should definitely pick up crocheting. I actually picked it up in another semester, and I really enjoyed it. It’s quite calming and a good tool to use while watching TV instead of actively on your phone.
I love that you had a blog when you were younger. I’m curious if this blog was for personal viewing or a particular audience.
I am excited to get to know you and see your learning journey!
Hey Amalia,
Wow, that is crazy you studied abroad. That would have been an amazing experience. It’s lovely how you go back to visit your friends you met down there. It looks stunning! I hate spicy food! I don’t know how you do it! We are so alike, I love to cook, bake, crochet, and I love kitties. I have a tabby named Kahlua.
I look forward to working along side you in ETEC 300.
Hi Amalia,
Studying abroad, would have been an amazing experience! So glad you were able to do this. I am currently learning how to crochet for my learning project! It is a bit difficult to get the hang of it but practice makes perfect! The pictures of United Arab Emirates are absolutely gorgeous, such an amazing view.
I am excited to follow along with your blog posts and your learning journey!
