    This is a nice and concrete entry ... How did you do it?
    The thing that I highlight from this is the gratitude part. Sometimes I complain about my current situation but I don't stop to think that there are others in worse situations.
    Thanks! You have just given me something to think about.

    I agree with u guys. We're lucky enough to finish our semester remotly! If this global crisis hadn't happened, I wouldn't have been able to meet colleagues from all over the world and interact with them for the Coronavirtus breakout. Plus, I wouldn't have had the chance to enroll an online course on how to become a virtual teacher by Cambridge :) Nice entry Naomi.

    Hi Naomi. I like you share with us your personal reflections of these online classes we were somehow "force" to be into. Personally, I prefer presential classes rather than online classes, but I would say that I have learned a lot about this situation. I agree with you on your reflections and your feelings about this. Thanks for sharing this thoughts which clearly reflects a huge part of what you are :)

ENGLISH VIII Self-discipline makes or breaks progress. INTERCULTURALISM Education is still moving and we need to keep pace with it. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Teaching is as challenging as rewarding (most times). RESEARCH IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS When in doubt, still working on your assignments or you'll fail the subject. That came out less poetic than expected but it's true. ERROR ANALYSIS  Everyday life is filled with examples we can take advantage of to learn. RESEARCH SEMINAR  A good foundation is the beginning of greater things, so let's rebuild as many times as needed.

Pros and cons of studying online (from the perspective of a disorganized student)

So...  the semester is almost over and  I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with  this whole shift to online lessons. PROS CONS More time ...to sleep A messed up schedule Not needing to transport  Thinking I have more time than what I actually have Doing homework in my bed Falling asleep and not finishing it early Food is ready to prepare and serve The need for constantly visiting the fridge Opportunities to do other activities Getting too distracted Time to think Time to think HOW DO I FIGHT THE CONS? 1) Doing all that's possible in order to have a schedule and respect it  (as it can be clearly seen, I don't always succeed in this aspect) 2) Being more active during the day helps me sleep better at night, also putting  the phone away before going to bed works. 3) Breathing exercises and rest periods in order to reduce eating out of stress.  (It helps setting a...
