My impressions after the first two weeks of blogging

After two weeks of blogging I can say that the idea of an our personal courseblog is very interesting. We can learn from other people, from their suggestions and corrections. There is always something to learn!!!

Using the computer is a thing I don't like so much, but it is also a great opportunity to be familiar with it. Nowadays computers are part of our life!!

As we don't have many possibilities to write in english it is also a great opportunity of language-learning, because on a blog people can write what they want, often in an informal style, and so it is the same as speaking, even if the other person you speak with is not sitting in front of you.

Often the time I have to do the e-tivities is not much, because I have to attend other lessons and, as I come from Ferrara, I have to spend about two hours a day in train; however I always find the time to do them, because it is an enormous opportunity to see what people think of my work, to express myself and my personality and also to see other people's personalities and their behaviours about certain things.

My welcome message

This is Hawaii, a place I really hope to go to.One of my greatest wishes is to go on holiday to a place like this, because I love sunbathing and the sun in general and in beaches like these I also can relax a lot....One of my favourite hobby is going to the gym, I do jazzercise, I kind of aerobics: you do physical exercises at the rhythm of music. This sport is very relaxing because you can both have fun and make your mind free from your daily worries. In my free time I use the computer to visite sites, search things I need or curiosities, even if I don't like computers so much. When it works so slowly to search a thing on the web I become very nervous, because I think it is wasted time...I don't have enough patience, I know it, unfortunately!!!I don't visit many sites, but the one I go on to and I think it is the most useful is http://www.google.it/. On this site you can find whatever you want: hotels, places, books, poems, autobiographical information about authors, and so on. I visit it above all to search more specific information about writers I have to study for an exam. I also searched on it many times hotels or places to go on holiday. I think it is a very interesting site, you can fin whatever kind of information you want! At a lesson of "marketing avanzato" I have learnt it is the most visited site in the world and it has become an economy business...Another sites I need to visit very often is those of the faculty and department of my university, http://www.lettere.unipd.it/ and http://www.maldura.unipd.it/. On them I can check the timetable of the lessons, the office-hours of my professors, when and where exams take place and the marks of them. They are very useful most of all for people who don't live in Padua (like me, I come from Ferrara..) and can't come to the department every day to check if there are updatings. As you can see I don't visit many sites, because, as I said before, I don't like computers very much...I think there are more important things to do than staying an entire day sitting in front of a computer, for example reading a good book, listening to the music, going on walking in the open air, or doing a voluntary service..I am a voluntary blood donor...After having said these last things, I however am aware of the fact that computers nowadays are used if not daily, the larger part of our life, at the work the majority of people use a computer.... and so I have to learnt to be more patient with it!!!
That's all for the moment.
