 I really don´t know what kind of job I would like to have. The only thing I know, is that I am studying Cinema, because I made the choice with the purpose of seeing movies from a different perspective. I love movies and TV shows, so I always wanted to know what´s happening behind the camera. But now, I also want to see the world from a different point of view and for that, I would like to travel a lot and discover different cultures. I would prefer to work outdoors, because you can find so many unexpected things out there (I really know that, because I am from Valparaíso, so a lot of unexpected and weird things have happened to me on the streets). These experiences can challenge your own creativity. When I finish this college career, I want to continue studying, get a degree in Esthetics, because I have been interested in the connection between art and philosophy since I was in school, and I want to learn more about it.

Mad Men is my favorite TV show, I have watched it several times, because its historical accuracy, makes me feel like I am entering the world of the 1960’s.  Mad Men is about an advertising agency on Madison Avenue during that decade. Oh man, how many things can happen in that advertising agency! (Sterling Cooper at the beginning and SCDP in later seasons).  Don Draper is the main character, a man who isn´t the person he says he is. He stole a dead man´s identity during The Korean War, his real name is Dick Withman. During the whole series, he tries to forget his horrible childhood, by creating the identity of a successful man, based on the name of this dead person. Peggy Olson, according to some people, is the real main character. She is the representation of the rising women during the sixties. She started as a secretary, but her talent made her end up as a copy chief. My favorite episode is The Suitcase (S04E07), which is one of the most acclaimed episodes, it´s even Elisabeth Moss´

I am a metalhead, but I also love 80´s pop music, because my parents made me listen to that kind of music since I was very little. Duran Duran is one of the bands that I like the most, my mom also loves Duran Duran, even though she is more into rock music. She told me that one of the first cassettes she had was  Duran Duran´s “Rio” album.  Well, who doesn´t love Duran Duran? They are an iconic band, not just because their songs are “catchy”, above all, it´s because, they are excellent musicians.    There´s a special member of the band that I would love to meet, John Taylor, because he is an amazing bass player, who seems to be a very nice guy. I have seen the videos that he posts on Duran Duran´s youtube account, where he explains what inspired the band (and especially himself) to compose some of Duran Duran’s songs.   John Taylor has accomplished the dominance of different bass techniques. He took inspiration from rhythms of different music genres, such as funk, disco, etc. Mixing the
