Hola a todos! How are you? I’m doing well, catching up with university, as I’m getting closer to going home every day. I feel excited but a little sad to think about this other life I have created here with different times, friends, and habits. How strange life is; I often realize that we are our own home; home will be where I am and where I choose to share who I am. With that mini reflection, I give way…
Hola a todos! Today I want to tell you how I plan to improve my crochet times. It’s no secret how long it took me to finish my scarf (I apologize), but the truth is that I learned a lot there. I spent half the time getting my stitches wrong and the other half complaining about how slow I was. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but I can tell I’m a beginner. So after doing a little research,…
Safety. Hola a todos! I hope you are having a lovely week. I am stopping by to talk about something that certainly concerns us: safety. Safety for our children and teenagers and even for ourselves. Social media and the internet have been with us for a while now, so long that I don’t remember what life was like. But of course, I remember what it was like in the beginning—a lot of freedom. I was talking to strangers, playing games,…
Hola a todos! I’m behind when it comes to blogging. Even though I said I was getting used to it, the truth is that this experience has become more difficult, but now for a completely different reason. I want to stay here more and more, not just because of the excellent coffee at Tim Hortons, but because I am immensely happy. I have reflected on why I am here now, and I think it is because I am making the…
Hola a todos! Guess what… my scarf is complete! *applause* Thank you, I’m happy and proud too. It looks beautiful and a little short, but at least I’ll be wearing it for the first snowfall in Regina, and I’m excited about that. At the moment, I am on what will probably be my only trip to Canada. We rented a car with Mariela, Marisol, Alexa, and her boyfriend, Jorge (who came romantically from Mexico to see her). We left Regina…
Hola a todos! I hope you are having a wonderful week because I am. I’ve been in Regina for a month and 11 days now (yes, I’m counting the days), and I am adjusting much better. I remember my first two weeks and how I missed my family, and even if that is still the case, I could say that I found something very similar here. I know this is a learning blog, so I would also like to share:…
Hola a todos! I think this is my first post since I started knitting, so I am excited to be writing it. The truth is that I realized that I avoided starting to knit as much as possible because I thought it would not turn out very well, and now I know that it was a mistake. It looks horrible, but it is enjoyable, and now I find doing it everywhere and always, haha. So also, doing a little research,…
Hola a todos! Today I would like to share my favorite tool since I’m studying to teach English: Grammarly! This extension literally changed my life. Grammarly is an application that allows you to correct anything you write in English. Among its functions are spelling errors, punctuation, if the sentences are difficult to read, if you want it to sound formal or if you want it to be for a particular audience, etc. It even gives you a score at the end…
