\"\"<\/a>Hey guys!<\/p>\n

Wow, it’s been a crazy couple of months since I’ve been back from Madrid. It definitely took a few weeks to adjust back to the American lifestyle. I miss Spain so much! I still keep in touch with my host mom and email her every couple of weeks. She sends me recipes for some of my favorite Spanish dishes. I hope I can go back to visit sometime soon. I’m so mad I wasn’t there to see them win the world cup. I heard there were parades in the streets, must have been crazy!<\/p>\n

Anyways, I got back from Spain at the end of May and then headed on a road trip in early June to Bonnaroo, the annual music festival down in Tennessee. It was so awesome! Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, and Bon Iver were a few of some of the amazing headliners. Everyone was so friendly and it was a really cool environment. Probably the closest experience to Woodstock I’ll ever get!<\/p>\n

After Bonnaroo, I managed to squeeze in a nice and relaxing weekend trip to the Hamptons, and then I started my internship. I was lucky enough to get a summer internship so late in the game! I’m interning in the acquisitions department of IFC films which has been really cool so far. IFC is a huge name and a major contender in the world of indie film. Acquisitions is in charge of evaluating the thousands of incoming scripts\/ films that are submitted to IFC and deciding which should be acquired and distributed by the company. I have seen some really interesting films so far and it has been a really good learning experience being exposed to world of independent filmmaking.<\/p>\n

I’m actually heading up to Boston this weekend to visit friends who I haven’t seen since before I went abroad. I can’t wait to get back to Beantown, it’s been too long. I\u2019m looking forward to walking down Comm Ave for the first time in over six months!<\/p>\n

I’m also busy applying to internships for LA in the fall. Madrid, New York, and now LA, I can\u2019t seem to stay in one place! But I can\u2019t wait to go out there through BU\u2019s study abroad internship program. It is going to be much different from Spain but it will be a great introduction into the business. I\u2019m heading out there at the end of August and will keep you all updated on my internship hunt and my experiences out there!<\/p>\n

I hope you guys are all enjoying your summers. Stay cool!
\nMike<\/p>\n
