last moments

Today I´ve been studying by the links that Dilek post on her blog, a litle bit hard some exercices but.. I think the exam will be good but also we have to think about the presentation for Tuesday and Thursday will be over we will finish!!!!! I can´t believe after 3 month studying I progress a lot on my English level and next week another step up, another class mates, teachers and so on. I´m a bit afraid but I think is normal but I get use to my friends and teacher and the dynamic on class now star again!.
I just have to say thanks to all of you guys and teachers that shared with me this 3 months at London met, hopefully we will see each other around whose one stay here.
I don´t know what to say. didn´t have a lot of time to post on my blog and probably it is the think I like less because I have to be writing about what I was doing and I never did that before I just did what I have to do and thats it, hehehe anyway, I do life in England and everyday at work with friends watching TV a film or the simple think like to go shopping teach me new vocabulary and expresion that make me more and more confident on this enviroment.
Good luck to all of us for the next step!!!!!!!!!

essay

I was working on my essay yesterday afternoon and evening, I was on the library at the uni looking sources on books about globalisation and I found some interesting books;

Globalization, Went R, PLUTO PRESS, 2000.

The end of Globalization, Rugman A, Random House Business Books, 2000.

and few more but those two are the most interesting that I found.

I'm so happy we have Internet to look for information when we are going to do a research because when you do it with books in a library takes much longer and some times the book was seem to be more interesting than at the end is.
But anyway, more where you can check better that your work can be. If you have too many sources as Internet, books, DVDs, and so on more information that you can work with and better essay you can do.

Next week I would like to take some book about Events management and read something to help me with my essay, then I can work at home on the bus or wherever I have free time to do it.

I was today at home doing research for my essay but it´s been difficult for me. I don´t know about my colleagues but I think this is too big area "Globalization" when you write that is a lot of information good and bad and you have to read to select what is useful for you,.. really hard work!!
In too many sites I found a definition really simple and short: "growth to a global or worldwide scale." and that is it. I don´t know how I´m going to do because I also need time to relax, watch TV, practise my pronunciation, listening and so on.
At least I´m always in contact with English at work where I have to speak with customer and friends in English and they can help me with any problem.
