The very last

I never had written a blog before, so this is a new experience for me. It's kinda bizarre to write about me and my thoughts in Internet, although is interesting to read the thoughts of my partners too.
Read about my classmates in their blog entrances was very fun, in that way you can learn a little about them, maybe not deep themes of them but little details of their personality and their lives
I don't know how much improve my writing, but I'm conscious that I learnt a little more about how to write or spoke in english

I believe that the blog could have some continuity along the semester, I'm not sure how but maybe there could be some connection between the different blog entrances.
I'm not sure about which theme I would like to include, maybe this semester we miss writing about music. I think that that would be an interesting topic that people like to talk about and comment between them.
Well, in general I think that this way of practice the language is ok, because we think about how express our opinions and how organize the text in a coherent way, using the english language (what, for me, was a difficult work sometimes).

ICEI strikes back

In the strike there a event that every student know: the assemblies.
In this assemblies people discuss about the reforms of education that government propose, beside to define the "characterization" of the strike (some people discuss about the nature of the strike: if this is a national movement, a fight for national education: or if is a ICEI movement only, a fight for get better conditions in our institute).

One of the most discussed topics is the violence of the police force when students go to march. is very common to hear about a partner of ICEI who was taken for the cops.
In the strikes there is created commissions which have the job of organize the different activities of the strike.
Every week there are movilizations like the little marches for the surroundings the campus, or the protests in national Tv channel buildings.
In spite of the organization of the CECO and the job of different political movements of the institute, the adhesion of the strike is very low. The best example of this is that in the assemblies, in the most of the cases, there is no quorum.

The film script class.

My favourite class in university this semester is the film script class. In this class, the teacher teach us how to create a cinematographic idea, how to create characters for a film and how to write a script.
This is my favourite class because someday I like to be a scriptwriter. Also, the teacher makes an interactive class in which all of we talk about the elements of script in many different movies.



This course is structured in a way in which we begin learning about script structure (like the classical structure), the creation of a storyline and a synopsis, and the construction of characters (even we learn about archetypes); then, we start to write the script of a short movie that we will record in the end of the semester (in fact, this short movie is the final exam of the semester). This script writing is a grupal writing. For me, this is a very good way to create a film because the collective work generate better results, because the idea that born in the imagination of a person grows with the imagination of another.

My trip for London

The monday in the afternoon I'm going to  rest because I will be really tired after the journey to London.
All the week I'm going to visit cultural places. These visits will be in the week to avoid crowds.
In the weekend I'm not going to visit any attraction because I want to know the streets and the life of the city.
