I still don’t know what I want to "specialize" in, but I’d love to work with something related to international matters. I think it’s very fun, plus I’m easy with languages; I know English and I’m learning German. I also would like to deal with cases with foster kids/kids in disadvantages, because they’re most in need in this time. I wouldn’t mind spending a lot of time in an office, but I think moving around outdoors also would be good for a change. I’d love if my job gave me the opportunity to travel, in case I decide to specialize in international law. If it doesn’t, it’s okay.

I’m on my second semester of Law School now. I feel like I still have so much time left of studying this career, so I haven’t really thought about what awaits for me once I finish it. Hopefully I’ll still have my parents’ support when I do, so at first I’m not gonna be too crazy about the money I’ll be getting. I’m more focused on finishing it than what I’m gonna do after I do, to be honest.

Before I decided going to Law School, I wanted to be a journalist. I haven’t really grown out of that; it seems so interesting, and I like to write a lot and I’m very informed on the media. Maybe I’ll do something related to that once I’m finished with this.

Me and my family like to go to Viña del Mar every summer, and even though we haven’t planned anything yet I’m guessing that’s where we’re going this summer, too. We always go on the first days of February, because my mom works until late January. When we go we stay near the beach, close to where the Mall is, but we don’t like to go to the beach; the building we always stay in has a pool so that’s where we spend most of our days. In the night me and my brother like to go out, but some nights we stay in and we play cards or watch a movie. My friends from highschool also want us to go on vacation together. We’re saving money but we don’t really know where we’re going yet. I’m very excited to have time to hang out with them again because I miss them and they’re so fun to be around with.

Because of how late our last semester started, our summer break will start also late, the last week of January. I’m guessing I won’t participate in any activities outside of school around that time, because it will be the time for final exams and I’ll have to focus on that. I don’t really plan to study or work in the summer, I can’t wait to be done with this school year so I can rest as much as possible.

Picking one favorite movie was very hard, because I have too many! I would say a movie that I’ve liked very much and has had a lot of influence in my life is Inside Llewyn Davis, directed by Joel and Ethan Coel. It’s set in New York in the 60s, and it tells the story about Llewyn Davis, a folk singer who’s struggling to succeed in the genre. He makes amazing music, has a beautiful voice and plays the guitar, but he has a lot of issues: he doesn’t like commitment, he has a bad temper, and he’s not easy to be around. The movie portrays Llewys’ problems really well, it’s emotional and leaves you feeling very sad for Llewyn.

Llewyn is portrayed by Oscar Isaac, who’s one of my favorite actors. I saw this movie early this year; I’ve seen most of Oscar’s movies and lots of them have become my favorites, like Ex Machina and A Most Violent Year. Oscar also plays Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is also one of my favorite movies and one I always rewatch. I enjoy watching science fiction movies like Star Wars but I also enjoy watching some indie movies from time to time (like Inside Llewyn Davis). I watch pretty much every genre, I like to go to the movies with my friends or by myself. The last movie I watched was Cesar Chavez on Netflix and I liked it a lot.

My favorite book is "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Gillian is one of my favorite authors, her books are a bit dark and deal with heavy themes, but they're very entertaining. Gone Girl is about Amy Dunne, an incredibly smart and determined woman who, after finding out her husband cheated on her, decides to fake her own death and blame her husband for it. Amy has everything planned out, and she wants Nick to suffer for what he did to her. Even though not everything goes along to her plan, she still manages to pull through and gets her revenge. What I like about Gillian is that she’s very clever, you never know how her books are going to end, but you can bet the ending is always going to be something dramatic and shocking.

 I re-read this book a month ago so technically this is the last book I’ve read. I'd recommend this one and others of Gillian like "Sharp Objects" if you love mysteries and books about crimes. I love to read mystery books, I find them very entertaining, and I also like to read science fiction and dystopian books. I wish I had more time to read, but school keeps me busy.

The best concert I’ve ever been to: Alice in Chains in Movistar Arena on September 30, 2013. I bought the tickets almost a year earlier, in 2012, because it’s one of my favorite bands and I was very excited when they announced they were coming to Chile. Alice in Chains is a grunge band, originally formed by Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney and Mike Starr. Layne Staley, the lead singer, died in 2002, but 4 years after William Duvall took over as the lead and has since then been the singer of the band. Alice in Chains has a powerful, rough sound. I remember the atmosphere at Movistar Arena was insane even before the concert began: the people near the stage were singing and jumping two hours before the band showed up. When they came out, the excitement was palpable in the air, and I remember my heart was beating very fast. I went with my brother who also liked the band and we both had a good time. William, the singer, is very charming and fun; he sang a tribute for Layne and it was very emotional for all of us who loved his voice. I don’t think another concert would make me feel as emotional as this one did, especially because I think Layne had one of the most amazing voices in rock, and it’s a shame that he’s not around anymore. I think all of us enjoyed the concert and loved William’s voice, but there was definitely longing for Layne in the air.

A country I’d like to visit: USA. I have never been and it looks like a wonderful place: every state seems to have something fun to offer. Specifically I would like to visit New York City because it’s one of the most famous cities in the world, with all sort of things to do. I think everyone knows it because it has appeared in a lot of Hollywood movies, and from other's personal experiences I’ve heard that it's a little dirty and smelly but overall an amazing place to visit. I would love to go up the Empire State Building and have a view of the other buildings and the streets, and also visit iconic places like Times Square and the Brooklyn Bridge. I think living or studying there would be nice and that you would have a lots of activities to participate in, but it’s a crowded city so I can imagine that could get stressful after some time.
