First post!



I wish I had started this blog since months ago during to document the details of my experience studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. I have countless photos but I really do wish I had blogged during my travels. Pictures are fun to look at but the blog would remind me with the little stories that I will probably forget as time goes on. Anyone who studies abroad I highly recommend that you do some sort of journal, or blog so you can go back and read it when your older!

I am currently starting my third week at my internship with ZOLL Medical, an international company that engineers and distributes medical devices such as AEDS. It has been a great learning experience so far working on marketing research and website translation editing. I am helping my boss plan for the International Marketing Communications Meeting in October (which unfortunately I will not be able to attend because it will require me to miss an entire week of class). Last week I met several of Zolls' most important employees from various parts of the world (The Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Latin America, ect.) at their quarterly business review. I was most interested in meeting the director of Latin American distribution- I hope to work with either Spain or the Spanish-speaking Latin American countries in the future. It's tooo interesting, I know.

Anyhow, since study abroad was the highlight of my year (and basically my life…) I thought I would post some of my study abroad pictures to make this blog entry a little more interesting to y'all.
