Hello lang-8. I'm finally here. It has been a great year so far. I had the chance to test my skills with native speakers and felt so good because everyone understood my ideas and praised my pronunciation.
College is going great, my job too (but it's awfully hard to accomplish all the tasks I have everyday)
On this journal, I'd like to make a couple comments...
1)I'm really happy that many people are using lang-8. I most say a lot of people made great progress during this year.
2) Miss Universe aired last night. Our candidate, Ada Aimee, was the 1st runner up. It was nice to see that 3 of the 5 finalists were Latin women, aren't they just beautiful? Miss USA was my second favorite girl of the night. What do you think of this competition ( I mean Miss Universe as a hole) Do you think it promotes external beauty over real values? Is it just a tradition?

I don't think "during this year" is incorrect wording, but I think "during the year" or simply "this year" sound better for some reason. It's not really that important, though. Likewise, "I'm finally back" is more common when you come back to a place you've been away from for a while, but "I'm finally here" isn't actually wrong.
Your English is great! Probably much better than my Spanish, hehe. Keep up the good work. :)
