Post 5: Changes to my study programme

Ahhhh... well. I am not sure how I can improve the programme at all, especially because ever since I started English in School up to High School, we always, and I mean ALWAYS got stuck in the verb to be, I had to learn English on my own with video games and joining online forums and watching English-speaking YouTubers. With the years I ended up knowing the language way above the rest that it was just free time in a way, this is the first time I have got actual English classes that challenge me in a way, so this is my first "proper" class. In my opinion, the way it's been done is very good, especially in the fact that various homework requires one to speak the language instead of simply "question with alternatives" kind of deal-... Oh, wait, this is for my current career and not just the English class? My bad. In that case, I believe that the faculty most of my classes are in is pretty horrible compared to the other ones, and it requires *a lot* of attention, and I mean a lot. At the start of the year, many students complained about the poor condition and the lack of rooms, especially the rooms with pianos that are either out of tune or the keys straight up don't work. The facility is in such a poor state that at any moment the electric panels could blow up and for that reason, we had a two-week strike. I have not had any problem with them yet, but according to many the elevators constantly fail and at some point fall with people inside. There are also some teachers that straight up are... too hard? In the sense that they have kind of an outdated mindset and "we are here to teach you how to be professionals, not to learn the piano". That was such a dumb mindset that straight-up made me get out of Taller de Teclado. There are also a few teachers that have a LOT of work but don't have any assistance so when you email them asking for feedback they excuse themselves with "too late" or "too busy", I believe there has to be at least 1 per class. That way, there's going to be extra face-to-face classes for the students that have a hard time learning on their own in the home. As for the curriculum... I would remove a few "historical" classes. I am not a big fan of those at all ESPECIALLY when they ask me to see something like that in a "political" mindset, I already have a hard time trying to ignore the real world, I don't want to put those problems on what I like... It's not on the "I don't want everything political" idea, but rather "I don't want to see how X would have seen in a certain period"

Post 2: Concert

Imagen
    Outside of stuff you can see on TV like the Festival de Viña and the like, I am not much of a concert consumer... Mostly because they are rather expensive and also I am not the kind of listening to "mainstream" music, mostly instrumentals and the like. Although I did watch early this year an anime called "Bocchi The Rock", about an extremely introvert girl that is really good at guitar and as expected it has many original songs and well, I am not much of an anime fan either but uh, let's say I saw an scene of the show and one song called "That Band". The song itself is pretty intense but the chorus of the track had the protagonist do a guitar technique called "Unison Band" where they play two strings and bend the lowest up making it sound like a musical scream when the instrument is distorted. Well I bring this up because this year they made a bunch of live stuff a few being two concerts; one featuring the protagonist's VA playing the

POST 4: Time travel to the Future or Past

Imagen
 Considering the amount of series, movies and games that have time traveling as part of their stories, I have lost complete interest in thinking about traveling to a certain point in time. But, since I am now forced (kidding) to talk about the topic I guess I can try to do my best If I was able to travel to the past, I would prefer a "safe" method of doing it. As in, not actually traveling in the past but a... snapshot? of a certain point in time. Like a save state in emulations where you can pretty much save and reload after doing something bad. Basically, I would like to travel to the past without its consequences, like a simulation of a period in time. So if for some reason I ever want to go back, or I need to research a topic I just load that "state" in the past in its own little world, so if I ever mess up something (for example... people witnessing my phone in 1810) I can just get out of it with ease instead of... you know, destroying our current present as we

Post 1: A Country I would like to visit

 Well to be quite honest, I have not thought of that in literal years, almost two decades I would say. But if I had to choose one country it would be Japan, mostly because most of my favorite composers are from there. I don't know much outside of its cities being either very vibrant or very calm but most of the stuff I like came from there so I guess I could go visit the stores and get some kind of merchandising, probably also visit some recording studios or music stores and if the timing is right, go to a convention or a similar kind of event that has a behind the scenes of a show or game I have played. If I had the chance to work or study there I would try but I would need to learn an entire new language so I would need to do it before even planning to travel... which would be tedious to be frank.
