Welcome

Hello, dear reader, whoever you are. 

I will start introducing myself, so here we go. First of all, when I was born, I was asigned female, so my parents decided to give me a girl's name: Katherine Vanessa. Katherine is supposed to mean "purity" and Vanessa is supposed to mean "butterfly", so giving me that name, they expected to have a feminine and pure girl. Too bad I am no fragile butterfly, nor a pure soul... And I am not even a girl, I never was nor I will be one. I am a trans(gender) boy (not "man", because that word just makes me feel too old and overcharged with responsabilities), so I don't use the name "Katherine" as much as I can avoid using it. I prefer to go by "Kerel" and I prefer masculine pronouns (he, his, him). 

So, let's start again. 

 Hello dear reader, whoever you are. 

I am Kerel, I'm 21 years old and I am currently studying psychology. It's my fourth year in this career, but I still feel like it's the first year. It's been a while since the last time I was for- ... I had to write in english, so I'm afraid I will just mess up everything in this blog entry. I have been avoiding intermediate english for so long that I am actually starting to feel guilty about it, I mean, I had to take it in first year, but I just kicked it out to the next semester... and so on until this semester, and trust me, if I could choose, I won't be sitting here, writing this, because I am not precisely a fan of this language. 

Although, I am acquiring the taste for it. 

 I like to read webcomics in english (well, actually, I have no choice because nobody translate those comics without messing up the story), I like to listen to music in english and to see tv shows or movies in said language. It's not difficult to me to read or write in english, I think I am quite good at it, at least as good as I know I can be with a language I was forced to learn since I was a child, back in the school. My understanding of spoken english, in the other hand, is barely acceptable, mostly because I got used to listen it from tv shows where most people speak it clearly, which is quite different from colloquial spoken english... which sounds like noise to me. 

Also, I have some... I won't like to say problems... but yes, problems, speaking the language myself... I'm afraid I quite ruin the language every time I try to speak it, to me it sounds like I am just jabbering. 

I really hope I will improve my weakness in this language, because I have the feeling I will need to use it in the future... I really, really hope intermediate english will help me to not embarrass myself in front of a native speaker, I do not like to sound stupid while using a foreign language... I have enough embarrasing myself with spanish! 

 Well, this entry ends here. 

Until next time! 

bye bye-
