English class

This year has been different.
For the last four years, I've been learning several languages in the EOI' schools, and I'm quite proud of it.
I like a lot learning languages. For me it is a real thing to do in life...You know, the typical "I'm going to do it when I'll be older”.
There is another reason. When I was a twenty years old Economics student, I tried to know what to do in life. A good professor, Santiago Roldan told some of us about "Técnico Comercial del Estado" and it seemed perfect to me: official career, into the "Diplomatic Corps" travelling around the world...Perfect!! Yes, a lot of study to do but it was ok for me; I was studying deeply at that time. But one more thing: I needed to speak perfectly two languages, in fact the more languages I'd speak, the better. That was a really “cold water shower" for me. I hardly spoke French!
So, I didn't do it.
Then I chose the second option of a good work and there were no languages involved in it, but likewise I began with some English classes.
Now I’m old enough, as I told you at the beginning of this essay, to do what I didn’t do when I was young. Now it is useless, but anyway I’m enjoying doing it, and when I’ll fall sleep I’m going to dream that I am “Técnico Comercial del Estado” and doing a good job around the world.
I always thought I didn’t like writing but I’m not so sure now, because right now I’m doing it in a language that is not mine and it can be pleasant…
On the other hand, during this course, I’ve learned about computers. I usually use computers, but I hadn’t ever done a Blog before. After all, it has been a good experience.

I'm glad you feel you have learned more than English (also about computers!!) and have loosened up writing in English. That was one of my main objectives, remember?
You were a good student to the end!
Thanks for your understanding! You've really gained an insight into the language.
Congratulations!

Hello Butterfly!!
What a surprise! You've written on my blog! I thought everybody from class was inactive.
I'm very happy someone is reading it, and I say to you what I said to Virginia: if you want to read it, I'm going to write as frequent as I can.
Thank you, and let me comment a new Butterfly's post!
