Getting So CLOSE!!

As I look at my calender and see what meetings I have and my to do list to finish my summer internship, I am reminded daily of the little "leave for EspaƱa" that I have written in my calender. The excitment is nearly unbearable right now as I see photos of friends from school in Ireland, Ecuador, and off on their summer vacations. I'm currently interning at H.D. Smith in Springfield so thankfully I am learning a lot and it is keeping me preoccupied so I'm not constantly thinking about my future trip. 

In other news, I said in my last blog post that I would discuss what my project is while I am over in Madrid. I plan to study mass media in Spain and get a more personal experience with the media over there compared to the United States. My freshman year I took a civilization in Spain class and researched about mass media in Spain. I decided to continue on with this project by asking opinions of Spaniards and see how they feel about their mass media. My ultimate goal is to know first hand how Spaniards actually feel about their mass media. 

Until then, I will wait anxiously for the trip and figure out financials!!

Much love,
