English language challenges
I've always liked to learn about different cultures and the languages are a very important part of it. I remember that I started liking englsih back when I was 10 years old mostly because of the movies I watched on TV and also because I wanted to improve my grades on that subject which back at that moment where horrible.
At first it was kind of difficult to memorize all of the words and even more to try to express myself in a different language but this challenge was really fun to overcom. I learnt that it was just a matter of practice and dedication.
In this course of english I've had the chance to practice my english in both writing and speaking, which is really good because since not many people speak a different language in Chile, this is a great opportunity not to forget what I have learnt over the years.
Even though I get to practice twice a week in this course I feel that I've forgotten a big part of my english, speacially in my pronunciation. This is mainly because i don't talk to many people fluently in english. For example, last year Emily, one of my friends from The United States came over to visit me and I remember that at first it was really hard to speak fluently with her. This is because my lack of practice but after i spent some time with her i got used to thinking in englsih again and to have a conversation with ger became much easier.
Outside the english class I use my skills when I watch movies or tv shows that are in english. I always watch them without subtitles or if they are too difficult to undesrtand I set the subtitles in english. This helps me to keep remembering words and mostly slang that I have forgotten.

Changes to my study programme
Changes to my study programme
Until now I have had a good experience with law school, I like most of my classes and the eviroment is really nice. Beside this I can mention a few things that would make this journey in my life even better.
First, I know that theory is really important but I would've liked my first year more with a little less theoritical studies and a bit more of practice in classes that are, in my opinion, meant to create someone who can handle practical problems in the future.
Second, I think that the lenght of studies in law school is way to long, I mean with the minor, the final test, the thesis, etc. five years suddenly become 7 or even more which is like I said way too many years.
Third, To be honest one of the things that I like the least is the infracture of the school. I would really love to have some green areas cause the building is just grey and depressing. Also a lot of classroms have problems with the property such as chairs and tables, which are sometimes useless because of the damage.
As in use of technology I do not think we have any problems because in my opinion this factor is not really important in the process of learning the law. Most of this technology is only used to do research for our papers and tests but is not like we need special machines or something like that.
These are some of the changes I would like to see in my study programme.

Favorite music
My favorite music
I do not have an specific kind of music when it comes to listening music. Usually it depends on my mood or the thing that I am doing while listening. Although I can say that Coldplay is my favorite band in the entire world. They are a british band and the play indie rock which is really chill to listen to because it's really soft rock which is great to relax and sing along. I went to a concert of this band early this year, they played at santiago's national stadium which is huge so there were a lot of people that night. Also the light show that came with the concert was awesome and we all had lighting bracelets to make it even more amazing.
I started listening to this kind of music back when I was 12 years old, I remember because it was me and best friend's favorite band when we met in seventh grade.
On the other side I like listeninng to pop music or reggaeton when I am at a party with my friends or at the club because is the kind of music that makes you want to dance and have a great time.
Also sometimes I enjoy listening to classical music while studying or just when I'm reading a book. It helps me concetrate when i'm at a noisy place or when I need to just focus.
Here's a picture of how the concert looked like:

Postgraduate studies
Being in first year of law school I haven't had many courses that directly envolve law, so since I still have a very long way to complete my studies I have not thought about doing postgraduate studies that much. Although something that is of my interest right now is international law.
I've always liked to travel and discover new places with different kinds of culture so when I picture myself in 10 or 15 years from now I would like to find myself in a job which gives the possibilitie to do so and I think doing some studies about international law would give exactly that. Since this course is about international relationships I think it's important to do it abroad because I would learn a lot more.
One country where I think would be great to study that is the netherlands because international law is very important over there. Actually the international court of justice is located in that country.
I think if I don't follow this path in the near future I would find something else to study after I graduate because I think is really important to keep learning new stuff specially in a career where there are several areas to cover. and most important because going further in my studies shows how passionate I am in what I'm doing.
