Post #1 Daniel Díaz


Well, my name is Daniel Díaz, as you might have guessed. I'm a local here in Argentina, from Buenos Aires, although I don't live in Capital Federal, just in the suburbs outside the city.
I am 29 years old, and a former student of Stella's Buenos Aires School of English. I think I've studied there since I was 6, and took classes for about what, 10, 11, 12 years? IDK. Stella can correct me. There were the famous tests like FCE, CAE and such, which I never really took for personal reasons. However, over the years and years of watching TV and listening to music, and after a 3-year-experience working as a tech support engineer (yes, I'm THAT IT guy), on 9 hour shifts of taking inbound calls, I could say my accent really improved. I am now working at IBM, and it's been more than 5 years since I took my first position there as a Logical Access support engineer.
Being there for 3 years, I decided it was time for me to take another shift inside the company, something that would allow me to learn a new skill I could take with me somewhere else, if the circumstances called for it, and so I took internal courses there to become a Storage Admin, which is my current position in there.

Leaving the boring part aside, I love going out with friends (who doesn't?) to bars and clubs, dancing and partying a lot.
I love watching TV shows, like Family Guy, American Dad, Project Runway, Dexter, The Big Bang Theory, America's Next Top Model, the works.

I'm not really sure whether I should extend my introduction here, or if you guys should just meet up with me, with the local team, and see where this all goes.

Oh, I'm just trying to figure out how to attach my picture here, 'cause apparently I'm a stupid person when it comes to blogging, among other things xD

See you all around!

  2. Good job Dan! What GREAT English. Stella taught you very, very well! (And I guess some credit must be shared with those US tv shows and music) But it's better to talk/write with real people. And we are here for that! Soon we will be in warm BA and taking you to dinner! Here it snowed 1 foot and we have had no classes, "snow days," for the last two days at Villanova! I have a feeling that some of my students are hoping for more snow! Bad kids!
