Weekend

Hello everybody,

I was checking over my students blogs and realized that some of you have a lot of posts, which is very good because you're getting to practice your written English. I have been gladly surprised to see that some of you have very good writing skills.

I've learned a few things about you, especially about your successes in life and your likes, dislikes and hopes for the future. Some of you even tell me about how your day is going in a very informal way, which is also good because you're practicing informal writing.

To continue, let me tell you a little about my day. Today, I slept in. I actually woke up at 10:30 a.m. I did my morning routine and opened my windows. The rain was gone! But the day was really nice, with a very mild temperature. It felt a little chilly so I went back to bed haha

The noise of the phone woke me up and so I got up at around 2 pm. I called my aunt and I told her I was gonna go to her house (actually I didn't). I cleaned my house a little, did some of my laundry, logged on my computer and started listening to music, reading e-mails, answering blogs, etc. My neighbor knocked on my door and wanted to know if I could let her use my phone. I did and then she brought me a plate of food, to my surprise. I gladly accepted it and continued with my laundry.

I also did some research about Master Degree programs. However, I couldn't find any Masters Degrees for English here in Tampico. It seems that I'll have to move to another state or even country, we'll see later on.

A friend was supposed to call to tell me where we were going out tonight, but it seems that nothing's gonna happen tonight. It's not like I was anxious to go out. I do like to go out but it's not something I look forward to every single weekend. Sometimes, I just like to stay in and enjoy myself doing nothing, just being a little lazy.

Well, that's enough for today. I hope your weekend was a little more interesting than mine hahaha See you all later!

My first time blogging

Hello everybody,

To begin with I'll introduce myself. My name is Cesar Maldonado and I'm an English teacher. I am from Tampico but I lived in North Carolina, USA for ten long years. I studied the bachelor of Arts in English at UAT and I want to obtain a Master's degree some time soon.

I really love languages. They are my hobby. I can speak Spanish, English, French and some Portuguese, and Catalan. I find Romance languages very interesting.



Since today was my first day ever blogging, I'll stop right here. I think it's so cool how we have all this technology to help us practice English.

See you in my next blog!
