Post 8: My favourite music

I’m very open minded about music. I like many styles, my taste can go from a good jazz jam to some quality pop music. But if I have to choose one kind of music I would say rock and roll is what most definitely I can identify with.

 I started listening to rock and roll tunes when I was quite young. I can say that at the age of 12, my first favourite band were the red hot chili peppers. Listening to this style of funk rock music inspired me to learn to play musical instruments. I started to play the bass guitar influenced mostly because of red hit chili peppers bassist,  Flea. I tried to play every song like him, using his characteristic agressive slaping bass style.

I'm also a fan of funk and soul music, one of the greatest artist in this type of genre that I have heard is Michael Jackson when he was young. What a voice and groove he is exceptional!!! Specially in the album “Off the Wall”. Other bands that are very important and have influenced me are Blur, The Smiths and The Clash. These bands represent the british rock and roll in its essence, mixing differents styles of music in their songs but always keeping the rock’n roll in their dna. 

Nowadays I'm into 80s new wave music. I'm listening to a lot of Billy idol, he is a rock star. I’m also listening quite a bit to men at work, a great aussie band that doesnt have the appreciation that it deserves.

 I can not forget to mention Scott Weiland as one of my favourites rockstars who passed away in december of the last year. He was a former member of the Stone temple pilots band and Velvet Revolver with Slash, Duff Mckagan and Matt Sorum (former members of Guns and Roses).

Post 7: Postgrade

I would like to take a postgrade of something hopefully related to my future job. Considering that nowadays there are so many lawyers and it is necessary to specialize in the diverse areas so that you can outstand and be able to get a good job.
I wouldn´t mind studying in Chile or abroad. Even though I like the courses that the University of Chile have now. My subject of interest is private law although I´m quite interested in partnerships under Commercial law.
If I were to go abroad to do a postgrade, I would prefer a University that has it´s historic prestige. And I would also take the opportunity of discovering the most I can about different cultures. I would like a postgrade where the timetables are compatible with work schedules. If it is a postgrade abroad this wouldn´t be a problem. Hopefully it would be in a spanish or english speaking country. What most worries me is how I can apply and be eligible to subscribe. What I have heard is that applications must be handed in around a year before the postgrade even starts. I would dedicate myself to studying the subjects that I´m learning and explore the country and enjoy the experiences that it gives me. This will also allow me to make lots of international connections that could be useful in the future.

Post 6: My Future Job.

I have always asked myself what kind of job I would like to have. I think that I will work in something to do with law since this is what I´m studying. I suppose my ideal job would involve a lot of travelling and hopefully be fulfilling with constant new experiences. I wouldn´t like to be stuck in an office for long periods of time.

Any thing to do with international law would be quite good. It may bring the kind of motivation I need. I have some relatives who work in Human Rights Watch in the USA and they have told me about their experiences and I found them really interesting. Private law is what I most like.

The salary that I would prefer should have to be hopefully enough to maintain a decent lifestyle and live without worries. Starting out in the real world with all the difficulties seems a bit bewildering to me, but I have good self-confidence and believe I will do well. I would not like to get in debt. It´s quite necessary for me to have a good income to be able have and bring up my own family.

I would like to major in any area that involves specializing in international or commercial law. Maybe I can even get the chance to do it abroad.

If this dream job doesn’t turn up at first I wouldn´t mind working as an attorney in public services or anything to do with governmental departments.
