Can u help me out correcting this letter? Thaaanks! Understanding human experience on earth whether it be from a philosophical, spiritual, scientific or artistic standpoint, has always been my biggest interest. And I also find fascinating all the means our species has developed throughout time to be able to express its insights, concerns and uncertainties. In other words, I like humanities. Being raised as the child of two educators and spending time with an older brother deeply interested in politics and society, aided me cultivate from an early age an interest in academic life, a love for learning, language, reading and an active mind prompt to question my surroundings. Since I was a kid, I have always felt compelled to challenge authorities and pursue changes, at minor scale at least, whenever I think the rules seem unfair or pointless. After highschool, following my heart's desire, I went on to acquire musical education, putting aside my interest in philosophy and anthropology. Then, having graduated from music school, I decided to relocate from Bogota, Colombia to Prague and to try my creative skills at Prague College art's faculty. I succesfully completed the foundation diploma in Art and Design in june 2014. I measured my potential as a visual artist and achieved my goal of creating a portfolio. The study of music and design definitely has made me a more aesthetically aware, tolerant, open minded, patient and sensitive individual. It's taught me to comprehend and appreciate the subtlte, abstract forms that human communication may take. And, it has given me a valuable understanding of how creative processes work and how to approach individual and team work. I come to the Anglo American University with an intense desire to learn modern ways to create content that is related to my interests and communicate it effectively with confidence, elegance and wit using spoken and written english. I seek to acquire knowledge that will broaden my awareness as a citizen of the world and I'm looking forward to discuss and debate with teachers and classmates. I am sure I will enjoy reading and composing and won't have any trouble dealing with topics out of my usual scope. I have chosen to study the BA in journalism and communication after thinking it through and pondering occupational profiles of other programs. I think it will prove to be a great opportunity for me to exploit my talents. And I'm also certain that I will get to apply some of the skills I learned at art school concerning video and photography.

PLS HELP ME CORRECT THIS!!! 1 DESIGN AND HAPPINESS How can design(ing) make me happy? I have no background on design at all. I have never really thought about it, it has never been my problem. Let designers design, it is not my bussiness. Well, perhaps I designed one thing or two back when I was a kid but that was a long time ago and I cannot really identify with being a designer. But I have been influenced by designs for sure, as when I bought that cool coat that gives me a superficial feeling of happiness or even more relevant and signifcant, the joy I get when I look at a beautiful landscape or a pretty girl's face, both perfect nature's designs. Intrinsically vs extrinsically An article on motivation for musicians also helped me clear things up a little and get to another point . There are basically some things I do because they're pleasureable for me to do and some others that I do not necessarily enjoy doing but still do because of the benefits I will have (HOWEVER, I believe this is an interesting point because most of the time when I dislike doing something it is just my ego complaining and I think we get to like stuff by repetition) . Anyways, the thing is designing can fall into one of this two categories. Happily, for me it can fit in both of them. That is to say I DESIGN because I LIKE DOING IT and also because of its immense potential to train me to be a more creative individual. Why bother about being creative and stuff? I highly value creativity, learning and growing. It may have to do with expressing myself which is always nice. To me, creating means I can shape my reality both mentally and physically as well. It means action as opossed to passiveness. How can design make people happy? Besides improving people's life by designing products that contribute to their well being and helping them to move around by giving them visual cues, design imho can bring a human being to points of realization and questioning. Usually, my thoughts (and I tend to believe most people's if not all) are a complete mess and most likely oriented towards instant gratification or are just problem related. (Now, I also think to have problems is not a problem in itself for it can motivate us to take action and create. A PROBLEM-STRUGGLE/CREATIVE PROCESS-SOLUTION type of thing) But here is my point: Go to part 2 if you would like to continue helping me with this correction. It is for my I&I class. :D

3 jours en France C'est fantastique! Je suis chez maman au sud de la France dans un petit village qui s'appelle Saint-Jorioz. Cet village fait partie de la commune d'Annecy et Annecy est la capitale mondiale de l'animation. Certaines personnes l'appellent la Venice de la France. C'est très cool ici, très calme et je suis très content avec ma famille. Cependant je ne resterai pas ici pour l'eternité. J'irai jeudi a Genève pour prendre l'avion qui m'emmènera à Prague où je fairai des études d'art et je chercherai aussi du boulot comme batteur. Je suis trés motivé. Vendredi matin j'irai dans la police d'immigration tchéque pour me régistrer et aprés je vais a l'école d'art pour mon induction. Le wekeend j'acheterai du bouffe, je visiterai des appartements et peut être des centres d'escalade. Mais maintenant je vais continuer a répeter mes rudiments. à bientôt! :)

Cim se živíš, Antoine? -Spívám. -Ok, cool. Ahoj. -Cau.

Ma première leçon de tchèque :) J'ai eu ma première leçon il y a quelques instantes. Bon, c'était en fait une leçon d'essai mais j'ai aimé :) J'appris les salutations les plus courantes en tchèque et j'ai parlé un peu avec mon prof. Je prendrai des leçons dans les prochaines semaines. Je suis trés motivé maintenant et je suis confiant que j'arriverai à parler et comprendre le tchèque. Au moins, je pourrai avoir des petites conversations quand j'arrive à Prague. Salut à tous!

Sales So yes, I am selling my stuff. So far, I've put up ads on the internet and have pasted several near universities, music schools and rehearsing houses. Though my internet ads have had many visits over the last few days, out of nearly 250 visitors there's only one client that seems to be motivated enough to actually buy. That's good. However, he's interested in the product that concerns me the least. I am not complaining, I think that's terrific it's just that I am wondering whether I am failing to get people involved in the right way to buy my other product or I'm just dealing with the wrong people here or it's absolutely normal and just a matter of time. While I was writing this, a friend called me to invite me to some spanish pianist concert. They were giving away double tickets and she thought of me. So that's what I'll be doing this evening. Bye.

Leaving... Sweet! I've just purchased some credits and I can finally begin my czech lessons :) I will be in Prague next month and I can't wait to get there. Right now, I am not doing much. Well, I've been rock climbing, transcribing some stuff, playing the piano, going out, reading and stuff but it's been quiet. It's not like I am sleeping around, it's just that I am not like "officialy" working or studying. So, after having breakfast, I am like free to do as I please :) I do have something important to do though. I have to sell my drum kit, keyboard and bass amp. Thing is, I left my stuff at a colleague's and now a hi hat stand and some screws form the bass drum pedal are lost. It really pisses me off because I thought I could trust him and now I am wondering what to do...well, those things have to appear somehow! Those are really important parts and it'd be really difficult to sell my drumset without them, let alone they can't just disappear like that!! Well, I'm off to eat :) Bye.

Enfin! J'ai finalement mon visa pour aller étudier à la Republique Tchèque :) et j'ai aussi mon permis de conduire. Maintenant tout ce que je dois faire c'est me débarrasser de mes affaires. J'ai seulement ma batterie, mon clavier et un ampli pour bass. Je voudrais bien les vendre mais je peux choisir la solution de facilité et les offrir à une école pauvre ou une fondation. Quand même, je le ferai entre demain et aprés-demain. Puis, je veux voyager un peu mon pays. Je veux aller à l'amazonie, ensuite à Medellin ou les filles sont angéliques et le temps est toujours bon. :)

Première semaine à Drogotá Vendredi à l'après midi, je suis rentré chez moi sans aucun problème. Je joue le piano à nouveau. J'apprends un bambuco de Carolina Gomez qui s'appelle "recuerdos de Medellìn" (souvenirs de Medellín). Hier soir, j'ai passé la soirée avec ma voisine. Maintenant je vais étudier le matériel du cours de conduire. À bientôt
