I couldn't refuse the experience, guys.

Although I study a Communication program, I don't usually transmit messages in written texts. In fact, I don't even recognize myself as a content producer. The writing hasn't been given to me naturally and I think that was a barrier that I had to overcome to pass the curriculum. This activity required a lot of work and talent as well.

I believe that these blog posts have allowed me to develop my writing skills, both in Spanish and English. Well, I notice that I have made progress with respect to the previous semester. I feel that I have managed to adjust my texts to qualities such as clarity, brevity, precision and correctness, because I really made the effort to make myself understood.

If I were to write again in the future, I would like to include key themes of my career. For example: Examine theoretical and methodological perspectives of the audiovisual, the television and the cinematographic. Review these worlds, in a multidisciplinary dialogue with literature, theater, visual arts and videogames, in a context of textual fragmentation or hypertext fiction, and technological convergence, aroused by the development of Internet and new technologies. Moreover, reflect about language, culture and communication, status of reality, creator and spectator, mediation, etc.

It has been a very intense semester. I think it was time to say goodbye... Well, that's all, folks. See you soon.

[Writing from a computer]

A laptop is an electronic machine equipped to perform common tasks of computer science and other activities. Four years ago, my uncle and my aunt gave me one and since then –without thinking too much– it is my favorite piece of technology. With my personal computer, I have been able to interact with other people and digital media and have had the opportunity to produce content. In addition, I have been able to connect with input devices and data storage devices, such as joysticks, video cameras, multifunction printers, memory cards, etc., which have given me entertainment. I use my laptop almost every day and I value it a lot, mainly, for the beautiful moments that I spend. I can't imagine being without my laptop. On two occasions, I took it to the technical service and I had a very bad time: I got bored a lot. Thanks for everything, scientists.

nightmare

My dreams in general are not so strange. However, I remember one particular kind of dream that has repeated several times in my life. Years ago, when I was under pressure for high school and I went to bed late around 4 a.m., I used to dream with my mom come in to my dark bedroom; in the meantime, I pleaded for help, because I was immobilized. Nevertheless, I felt wide-awake. I was terrified! Sometimes, this distressing situation was accompanied by a sense of death: my soul into the light. My heart rate was speeded up and I was thinking about how to save myself. This experience would not know how to interpret it. I suppose that it communicates a situation of stress and rearrangement of the content in the brain, since it happened after having studied and memorized large amounts of information. On the other hand, I understand that it is known as hypnogogic hallucination and exists reasons for that. I'm glad it does not happen anymore.

say goodbye

Four months ago, I lived a truly devastating experience. This picture –taken by an attendant to Javi's funeral– shows us some colored balloons with dedications to her, my ex-classmate. The image allows me to remember rite and gives me peace. In addition, it means death and rebirth in my life. In mid-July, I was celebrating my best academic semester. Also, "Winter Song", my short film, it was fascinated me. On the other hand, I was preparing for my holidays: I would meet up with my old friends and celebrate seven years with Sylvana, my girlfriend... However, in a matter of days, I received two sad news. On a snowy night, Javi dies in a car accident and four others are injured, including Manuel, my best friend. Then, in the midst of that whirlwind of emotions, Sylvana breaks up with me. Although all this was wrong, I appreciate the opportunity I had to experience it.
