Dear students,


I graduated from university about ten years ago, it sounds like a long time, but for me it's like yesterday! 
As you know, I studied translation first, and even though we paid a lot of money for our program there were many things that I would have liked to change, some of them I know that they changed, but I'm focusing on my study years.

In terms of curriculum, I think we had classes that were not necessary, or classes that were repeated, we had theory of translation in English and Portuguese, but the theory was the same!! One of them was completely unnecessary, the class of English culture was basically a history class of the kings and queens of the UK, it was so boring, we had to memorize the book and then give presentations about it, it was a waste of time, and of course I remember less than half. What about the history of the United States, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and so many other countries that speak English? Nothing.
Also, it was good that I liked English, because ironically the worst teachers were from English!! I had some good ones, but I had some that were horrible, completely outdated.
I believe that the workload was very appropriate, we had important evaluation all semester, so by the end of the semester I wasn’t very stressed like friends from other majors.
I studied at Usach, which I loved, but unfortunately our faculty was really poor, and our facilities were very precarious, specially the toilets. The doors were falling and we didn’t even have toilet paper in them.
Fortunately, I know things have changed, and I’m glad because we have to fight for the ones that come after us, don’t we?
