Self Evaluation of my academic year (2009)

[ Introduction ]

If I have to evaluate and define how was this academic year for me, I would say that it was challenging, exciting and very productive.
This was my second year of career. I left school and then I entered inmediately to the university , at first I wasn´t sure what to expect and only had a lot of emotion and anxiety. The first year was important, but it was mainly a year of adaptation and introduction.
This second year is different, the classes now depend on my choices and I have to take a specific trail. Also you are in knowledge of the functioning of the faculty, the organization and the people, that makes it possible to feel more comfortable and quiet.

To begin, as I say, the first major change was to choose specialty, when it's time to make the decision by yourself of what you want, everything changes, because one is responsible for the decision consequences, benefits and mistakes.
I was very satisfied with my decisions.
Having clear that I wanted paint as specialty, I had to apply for the workshop that interested me, luckily I was selected and that gave me a very strong initial motivation.

The other choice with which I felt very good and stimulated, was to have taken the drawing workshop with Gabriel Uribarri, I have always felt a special love and interest for drawing, and this workshop made possible to increase and improve that even more, which I did not expected.

One of the consequences of my choices to these workshops, is that this year was a really busy year, this workshops are very workload, but I think that's one of the most remarkable things about it.
Knowing myself, I know that I can give much more if I demand more to myself and keep a steady and hard work rhythm, I'm glad of be able to do that, because this is what I love doing, so is always a possitive thing to work hard for it.

Also this year, I learned and grew up in personal aspects as well, through all the experiences of the works, I was able to notice new things about myself, learned to know my working rhythm , my preferences, my weak and strong points, learned to overcome obstacles and know how to be calm and organized against what appears to be stress for high load work.

[ conclusion ]


In conclusion, I'm pretty happy with this year and I'm satisfied with my accomplishment and everything that I won.
It is also true that it felt that time passed very fast, but I think that's just one of the consequences of having a busy and productive year.
For all this, I´m looking forward to the next year and that would be just as good and intense as this one was, hopefully I could be able to balance all and get to feel happy at the end of it.
