Quarantine Hobbies:

(Write the following post in between 200-250 words, also make comments on your teacher's blog and on 3 of your classmates' blogs)

The following post has not been a great challenge to write since as well as many people all around the globe, I have myself been in lock-down for months!, and giving this context, the killing of time has (I believe) made people (and myself too) show their creativity and need for "doing stuff" by developing hobbies and recreational activities that might be performed either indoors or within the space of our residence.

At the beginning of the lock-down in Providencia, I started cleaning as a loony because I didn't want to get any disease or so, but after having everything cleaned up at least twice (LOL) I got bored and took out my crafting box where I keep crayons, pencils, paint, wool and my crocheting set.

So my hobbies have been very varied, I have read but also I have made some experiments with concrete and other materials but yet, the hobbies I have practiced the most have been crocheting and also painting. I have been crocheting for some time already but now I have explored many other options such as knitting carpets, knitting a woolen mesh to decorate plants, a tablecloth, sandals, and the classic amigurumis. 

Also I have taken up painting again. It has been a while I don't use any painting but as said, I took over the brushes and it all came back naturally, just like riding a bike, the colour mixing, composition, drawing, etc, made full sense to me and for some reason, while I have been painting again, it all seems right and in the right place. 

Apart from all the activities I have mentioned, needless to say, I have kept on carrying out my investigative and teaching duties, so as you can imagine, the lock-down and the quarantine have affected my outdoor experiences but still, I have (at least I think so) managed to keep up the good mood by using my time creatively and also productively. 

Here some pictures of what I've been exploring with:

    Me too! Even thought I paint and draw before the lockdown, in this months I had more time to dedicate to explore new materials and it's been so fun! I discover that I'm really good at painting with watercolors!

    I think that if there is something good that the quarantine brought, it was that people could for even a moment and do things that they like.

    I think that these types of activities are very important for our development, but usually we don't have time to do them. It is one of the positive things about the pandemic. - Sebastian Pereira

    To be honest, I wish I had used my time more wisely during past quarantine. I surely had enought time to continue my writting projects: the stuff I like the most.

    Sadly, I guess that wasn't the case, and I worked just as slow as I'd do in "normal" conditions.

Post 6 (Last Post): Expectations for 2021.

 The following are some guidelines for you to write on the topic. Firstly, just to remind everybody, this topic is the result of a collective reflection and discussion given during our week's session and as a group, students have decided on the topic of.  "Expectations for 2021" You have to develop your piece of writing freely in 450 to 500 words. In order not to model your writing, I am going to skip writing about it but instead I am going to give you some highlights on what to and not to do: 6 Tips to Improve your Writing. Several times I have been asked this question " What would you recommend to improve my writing skills ?" and well, certainly most of us have already been to the position of being a bit lost in the sea of words trying to carry out a certain piece of writing for work or studies, for that reason, in this post I will try to summarize in 6 tips some of the advice I have been constantly giving to many students over the 14 years I have been teachin...

Post 4: My Pet

I have recently adopted Dulce at an “Adoption Session” sponsored by Garras y Patas Foundation, there I found Dulce, a very beautiful, two-year-old, female dog. She is a mixed dog and before we came across with each other, she had been given for adoption because her previous owner had got very ill and could no longer take care of her. Luckily, she didn’t spent too much time waiting for someone to take care her! She is an old dog but paradoxically full of energy. She was not trained as a puppy and despite she has some bad habits, she has never spoi...
