  Hello, dear students. Hoping you are having a great weekend, today’s blog is free topic, so I will write about the novels that I have read this year so far. Kitchen , by Banana Yoshimoto, the stories of 2 different characters dealing with the death of a loved one are depicted in such a way that it actually makes you believe that you are seeing what’s going on. There aren’t any sudden plot twists nor villains but rather a gentle portrayal of what it feels like when only memories prevail through time   and yet, you must move on in life.   If you are looking for a somehow similar version of Wuthering Heights (one of the most successful novels from Emily Brönte), Fifty Words for Rain: A Novel will not let you down. Kyoto, 1948: Traditional customs, hierarchy, violence, family ties, exceptional moments for tenderness and love that will be a very short respite for the reader, deception and loyalty are clashed in this amazing novel by Asha Lemmie.

Despite this, I do have a favorite brand of whiteboard markers:   These are the best: they are thick, they have different colours (besides these, I have found pink, yellow, orange and purple), and you can buy the ink instead the full...

Hello, dear students. I hope you are having a good day. In today's second blog, I will talk about why I decided to study my major: a bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature.     When I was a child, I was truly scared of going to University: it seemed like an impossible dream to pursue since everyone talked so solemnly about it. My first impulse was to become a baker; it seemed easy at first, but I discovered that it is such a strenuous job, so I quitted that idea immediately. As a high schooler, I wanted to study psychology after I graduated from school, but I declined after my mother talked me out of it: She noticed that I was going to enter a major for the wrong reasons. As I was approaching my school graduation, I decided to pursue this major since English was one of my best subjects at school and, unfortunately, I didn’t have the guts to pursue one of my true passions: plastic arts. Looking in retrospective, and considering all its ups and do...
