"Please don't stop the music"


     I know it might sound like a stereotype, but I actually like all types of music. I can listen to classical, pop, rock, reggaeton, disco, jazz, rap, French popular music... Everything! Nonetheless, I have to admit that I have some favorite bands and artists. Among others, there is Queen, which is an English rock band whose singer was Freddie Mercury, and ABBA, a Swedish disco band. Both are from the seventies and eighties, therefore it was my parents who made me discover them. There are very different bands, and also a very strange choice for a woman born in the late nineties ! That's why when I talk with my friends about our musical preferences they are often surprised.

     If listening to music helped me in various occasions in my life, I also enjoyed to play it. In fact, I played violin for three years when I was in middle school, but I only played classical, which is one of my deepest regrets. Unfortunately, I had to quit because I entered high school and I couldn't manage to do my academic work, play basketball three times a week, and practice my instrument. Anyway, I am planning to take lessons again after I graduate my master in two years :)

    you have very different music tastes. I can say that what I like most about The Queen is that Freddy was a great showman

Postgraduate

I’m not sure of what is exactly a postgraduate course, or what it means in France, what is its equivalent, thus sorry in advance if I have misunderstood ! Of what I have read, I figure out it may be what we call a master in the European system of higher education “LMD” (License, Master, Doctorate). A license is the first three years of university, often very general, which delivers a national diploma that permits to begin your professional life. Then you have the master, the fourth and the fifth years where you specialise more yourself on a specific aspect of your discipline (for instance, if you have been studying law, you can pursue your cursus in a master of European law, company law, public law, health law etc.). It is not obligatory but strongly recommended as the labor market tends to be more competitive. Finally, you can do a doctorate in three more years and follow up your dream of being a university lecturer and researcher (just kidding). Now that I explained ...

I love English

Image
I've been learning English for a long time now. In fact, in France it's really common to begin your second language when you enter school, at 3. It has always been a pleasure to learn English, despite some teachers during high school. Then, when I entered university, I was hoping to finally become bilingual before going abroad for my third year. Unfortunately, the poor quality of the classes and the lack of hours (only two per week) have made me stagnated for two years. Never mind, I will pursue until I got my C2 level (also because in Sciences Po we cannot stop English classes until we have passed C1). Although I have not learned much in these classes, I had the chance to take half of my curriculum in English last semester. In Chile, it seems like English is not as highlighted as in France, and I can understand, considering that all the countries of South America (except Brazil) speak Spanish. However, I enjoyed being part of this class, because I had the opportunity t...

Series or movies ?

Image
First of all, I am more a “series- type-of-person” rather than a movie one. I know, I am French, I do not correspond to the stereotype. Even my high school was named after Jean Zay, a former French Ministry who also happened to have invented the famous “Festival de Cannes” in 1939. Anyway, I obviously like movies, and I can recommend you some French ones (as I have done for Mariam and Camila) if you enjoy discovering new cultures. However, I prefer the format of series, the fact that there are episodes and seasons, cliff-hangers to maintain suspense and dynamism, and also fictional characters that we can follow throughout their evolution (even if sometimes it means crying over their death). Second of all, I do not have Netflix. As far as I can tell, it looks like it is really not as developed in France as here in Chile or Canada. Then we all have our techniques to still follow our best shows, with a bit of time difference. Nonetheless, as a real fan of series, I have a long ...
