Journal IV

Now is the best time of my life: University. First I’ll start talking about my decision of studying Pedagogy. There were several options I considered for studying: Filosofy, History, Psicology, Biology, sociology, and of course Pedagogy. To tell the truth, I only had a superficial visión of all this majors. All I knew were just several and general information. I read some articles and study plans, but you know what’s your major really about once you are studying it. After some considerations and advice from people I trusted on, I decided Pedagogy.

Then I didn’t know where should I study. I did my exam for UNAM and then I had planned to do it for the Universidad Pedagógica. When I did the exam for UNAM I was really concerned, I thought I had done it all wrong and I was confused. It was a very happy moment when I discovered I was in. Then I decided no to try in other universities.

I was very nervous when I went to the university for the first time. In the first week my concept of Pedagogy changed a lot and I decided that it was what I really wanted to study. I started reading a lot, some books for pleasure and some others for obligation.

My classes were very interesting and I started realizing that studying the education was much harder tan I thought, but at the same time it was like a passion.

I liked studying at Filosofía y Letras. Even tough it was kind of sad to be discriminated for the students of other majors. I understad the critics they made to pedagogues, but it was sometimes hard to talk to them when they had strong prejudges. I have many good friends from other majors of the faculty anyway, I’ve learnt a lot of them, and I think they have learnt with me aswell.

In my free time I still loved to play videogames, read and share time with my family, but I also enjoyed going to parties once in a while. I’ve never been good at dancing, so that has been a problem when I go to parties. But I enjoyed to share funny times with my friends. I also enjoyed going out with boys haha. I think I will always remember these day as some of the funniest and most productive of my life.
