My favorite music

The musicians I love to listen to are not related at all, so the music genres I listen are very different one to another. But I do have a favorite one which is indie music. I love this kind of music because is very peaceful and their lyrics are very emotional.

I started listening to this kind of music when I was sixteen years old. At the time I was into other kind of music (Metalcore; and if I am honest, I still listen to some bands of this genre) but I started to long for calmer music, so that is how I started to listen to Lana Del Rey, Bastille, Florence + The Machine and others.  

Some of the musicians I love the most are Lana Del Rey and Troye Sivan. Lana’s real name is Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. She is an American singer, who started getting famous from her album “Born to Die”. Troye Sivan is a new singer, he is from Australia and he only has one studio album, called “Blue Neighborhood”. But the one I love the most and has been my Idol since I heard about her is Juliet Simms. She is also an American singer, she used to have a band called “Automatic Loveletter” but now she goes solo. She also got into second place at the second season of The Voice in USA.

Even though I love this music, I have not gone to any concerts from this musicians. In fact, the concerts I have gone to are bands that I used to like before. For example, when I was fifteen I went to a Black Veil Brides concert here in Santiago. I travelled all the way here just for these bands. Although I stopped listening to many of these bands I enjoyed these concerts a lot and I don’t regret any of them.

Now that I live here in Santiago I hope I can go to more concerts and music events because now I don’t have to pay for bus tickets and for a place to stay besides the concert tickets. 

Postgraduate Studies

As I said in the last post, I have not really thought much about what I’m going to do once I finish pre-grade because I am only in my first year. Regards that, I am interesting in many areas of law but the that interest me the most is the master on law and new technologies.

The reason that I would like to take this course because it is a new area in law involving the new technologies in our era. Besides, there are not that many investigations or works on it as the other areas, so there is so much to do with this topic.

The subjects that I would like to study about this are the ones about the delinquency in social media, because this is a new problem that started with the internet and there has been many cases of people suffering from this and I think, because of all that, it is a very important subject to know about and work with in the future.

There are some master in this area in Chile, including my university. But from what I have heard, other countries are investigating more about this topic and are more advanced, so I would love to take this course abroad.

When the time comes, I would like to study the course in the traditional way or a blended system, because I already have classes in both this ways and for me it is very efficient, easy to get used to and easier to plan my schedule around them.

Though I still have a lot more years to study, I definitely would like to continue my studies after I finish pre-grade. Some of the reasons are because I don’t like the idea of just staying as a lame lawyer and not specialize in something. Besides, the masters that law has are very interesting and amusing.

My Future Job

As I’m just starting university I have not been thinking that much of the kind of job that I would like to have once I finish (if I do, you never know), obviously I have some ideas of what it could be, but nothing specific. But if I had to say something, I would like to teach someday and work at a university. One of my options of careers was pedagogy in history so I haven’t let go the option of teaching someday. I know it would be tiring and probably infuriating, but definitely gratifying.

I would like to have a job that balances both outdoors and indoors, because if not I know I would get tired easily and get bored at my job pretty fast. I know I am lazy enough to get tired to be walking from one place to another all day, but not lazy enough to enjoy sitting in front of a desk all day either.

I definitely would like to travel a lot as a part of my job, but I don’t know if I will be able to do it that much if I dedicate myself into teaching in the future. But it all depends!

I am currently in my first year of law. When I was at school and said I wanted to study law I was not really thinking that much about it, it was a decision almost out of spite because before I wanted to study law I actually disliked the idea a lot, I thought law was boring and too much work (I wasn’t that wrong about one of those things). One day I started thinking what it would be and said “maybe it would be fun, it does not sound that bad if you think about it” and that is how I took my decision. Then, my history teacher started teaching some things about civil law and other areas about law and that is how I reinforced the idea I previously took.

Even though I am saying all this now, I’ll probably change my opinion someday the same way I changed my opinion about the careers I planned on taking before university, or probably not. All I know is that I have to be open minded to all the areas this career offers and just inform myself well.
