2014, a very good year

This year brought me a lot of good things, and no one I can establish as a "bad thing".
First of all, in January I start a relationship with my beautiful, lovely, tender and perfect girlfriend. Has been more of nine beautiful months at her side, and I just can say that I love her more every single day. The only "bad thing" is that she already finished her classes and is now in Rengo, the city where we both live, so we can only be together at the weekends :( .
One of the achievements of the year (at least by now), is that I'm not failing a single one subject! That's just for now, and I wish that keep like this forever.
The things that I want to have and to do again, is having vacations and make a trip to the beach or the south of our country. I really love doing that, but this career just consumes your life. But like a lot of mates tells me, the difficult is x2 or x3 the next year (3rd), so I'm trying to enjoy the little spaces of life that I have sleeping and doings sports with friends and my girlfriend.
Just 2 days ago I went to The Hives+Arctic Monkeys concert (I've been waiting all the year for it), and it was amazing! My body still hurts after that night. All that jumps and screams will be forever in my memory. I must say that the Hives were far better than Arctic Monkeys. What a rock band! Their energy and fast songs mades me sweat like never before.


Born to be a tree-hugger

Since I have memory, my family always teached me about the important of being respectful and friendly with the enviroment.
I think one of the reasons is because we all grew in the countryside, at the side of a lot of hills, mountains and trees.
That's why I have a lot of recycling habits, like divide the garbage (paper, glass, aluminum, cardboard etc.), and dump it into special containers, and also I don't use plastic bags at all.
I always prefer to walk or my bike instead a car or the subway, but unfortunatelly here in Santiago the streets aren't friendly with the bikers.
I think that our society starts to take care of the enviroment, because we all realized that our world's gonna disappear unless we do something about it.
But that's the theoric situation. In fact, at least here in Santiago (and in the way that I can see everyday), the people aren't to interested in helping our world. You can see this in everyday's traffic jam, and in the daily air pollution.
The carbon footprint is one of the newest topics about the contamination and how we can help to reduce it. As I said before, I think that my principal contribution to reduce my carbon footprint is choosing my legs and the bike instead the public sevice of transport or the cars (in the logical distances, of course, because I'm not gonna walk 130 kms. to reach home at the weekends).
But at the end, I understand and don't blame the Santiago citizens, because living here, in a small region with 6 millions of neighbors, it's a difficult situation that (I think) I will never adapt to it.

Abortion

I think abortion should be legal for everyone, but just in cases that the law have to describe and discuss in the future. If the abortion is allowed for every case, I think this will be used as a contraceptive method, increasing the risks of sexual transmission diseases. That's my point.
Now, I also think that every women have the right to chose the things that she does with her body.
Whatever decision that the goverment take, a very important point of the law have to aim to the education about the abortion, about the positive and negative impact of that, for her body and also, for her mind.
I believe that an embryo it's not always a human, but only when he or she developes the brain, and in this situation the foetus is capable to feel. This happens at the third or fourth month, if I remember what I read the last year.
In a secular country like Chile, the religious precepts shouldn't be considered in the moment of the redaction of the law, but it should in the previous steps to create that law, like all the discussions and things like that, with the goal of make an objective and inclusive law.

My future job

Like everyone here, I'm going to be a lawyer in the future. But there's a lot of areas to work in this career.
I've decided to be a penal (or criminal) lawyer, but I'm just in the second year here at the law school, so maybe I can change my mind with the time.
First of all, criminal law is what you imagine (me too) when you think about the law. You don't think about the contracts, philosophy or maths, but all the things related to the crimes and the cirminals, what kind of penalty they gonna apply to the guilty, etc.
This semester's my first course of Penal or Criminal law (1 out of 3), and before I start with this, I know that I'll love this, and it was more than expected.
I think this work is a mix of working outdoor and indoor, because I think that you work in an office, but also you go to different places, like jails and courts like part of your job.
Of course I would like to travel, and if you're part of an important company, sure you do. I hope to get a job as a Judge of an important court one day, but in the meantime, I would love to work as a penal lawyer for every company, but always with the goal of being a judge.
I feel ver confident about that, and I can say that the criminal law is my favorite area in this school.

Music!

Music it's just amazing in any sense. In my life is very important, 'cause I hear it every day, for different things: for the concetration, to study, to jump and scream when I feel sleepy, etc.
My favorite kind of music is the rock in almost all their specific genres (like indie rock,punk rock, and alternative rock, for example), and off course the classic music.
I respect every kind of music, but personally, I don't like (and scares me) that groups of death metal, which music and lyrics are just based in hate, war, destruction, etc.
I don't really have a favorite band, but the last month I've been stucked with The Hives (I have the ticket for their concert in November!), a Swedish "punk rock" amazing band, that makes me jump with every song that their have, I love The Hives because of their style to make music, always with good electric guitar chords, and in general, with vibrating songs.
Other groups of music that I love, are Muse (maybe this one could be my favorite if they come to Chile soon), Oasis (such a band! Why did they split up?!), and the Arctic Monkeys (going to see them with The Hives in november).
I think that after all, music is one of the best creations of mankind, and all of us would be more unhappy without it,

Best holidays ever

I think my best holidays (or one of the best) it was in 2012, in Puerto Varas, the most beautiful chilean city beside Valdivia.
It was in december, and I made the trip with a bunch of friends (we were like 15, it was crazy!)and we spent like 2 weeks there, in 3 differents cottages near the beach.
We did a lot of thing, like having fun in the beach and in the pubs at the night, and in the day we just sleep a lot getting recovered of the previous night.
A funny fact was that one drunked friend wanted to go to the beach, and we don't know what was the reason of that. The simple reason was that he needed to pee, and almost get drowned in there trying to do it.
We travel by bus, and if you think, 15 friends in a bus wasn't very pleasant for the driver, because we didn't sleep, and because of that, the rest of the passengers hates us with passion :( .
That was of my best vacations not only for the destiny, but the good company of my friends.

Memories

I think my childhood was awesome, and I love to talk about it with everyone.
The only smell that makes me jump to the past, it's the smell to wet soil; I think it's because where my grandma lives (in the countryside, at the side of a hill), there's a lot of dirt, and I remember when she cames out and she damp the street (no cement in there, just soil and dirt).
My first childhood memory was at the age of 4, and the reason was my first time riding a bike. It was amazing!.
My favorites memories of the childhood was me and my cousins doing everything to get some fun in my grandma's house. We played football, tennis, and everything you can imagine in a big room of that house. We really thought that we was in a stadium! Ride our bikes, go to the hills for an "expedition" and getting wet everyday in the summer, are memories that will live forever in me.
TV series? no way man, I was just too busy playing outside for watch TV, but Spongebob still my favorite cartoon.
Outside the school, I loved to play football and "hide and seek" (what a game!) everyday at the afternoon with my friends.
That's all, thanks.
