\"\"<\/a>\u00a1Hola! In case you haven\u00b4t been following COMlife, Kate and I are both abroad this semester so this blog is coming all the way from Madrid en Espa\u00f1a!<\/p>\n

Normally my blogs are more or less stream of consciousness but I\u00b4ll try to organize this one a bit because I have a lot to say. Also sorry if my English sounds funny but I\u00b4m at my internship now and it\u00b4s sometimes hard to switch between 3 languages (English, Spanish, and French- because my supervisor is French so I speak with her in French from time to time)<\/p>\n

So today marks my 13th day in Madrid- although I have to be honest, for both my friends and me, it feels like we\u00b4ve been here for much longer than that; all for the better of course. It\u00b4s crazy thinking about how much my Spanish has improved in barely two weeks; to the effect that I can understand almost everything. And although I don\u00b4t speak perfectly, I\u00b4ve got the confidence to try now and thats 50%!<\/p>\n

I have three classes and one internship. My classes are Spain and the EU, Advance Spanish Language, and a documentary class. All of my professors are beyond incredible and are so passionate about what they teach. Of course my favorite class is the documentary class because it\u00b4s a mix of European\/ Spanish history and sociology with technical documentary through out.<\/p>\n

My internship is with Lopez- Li Films, located only one block away from the Instituto Internacinal where we take classes. It\u00b4s a documentary company of about 8 people and just happens to be one of the most well respected documentary production houses in Spain. I\u00b4ve been working here less than 10 days and I\u00b4ve already been working with Photoshop and After Effects on real projects for the company. Yesterday I got to help out with a set of interviews for a new documentary that the company is making about professional story tellers- actors who recount fables that have been passed down through out the generations. We heard from someone from Galacia, el Pais Basco, and Madrid- three places in Spain that speak very different languages. My official title was auxiliary camera man (I think.)<\/p>\n

But yeah, everything has been going extremely well so far! I\u00b4ll post some photos from the interview below. If you guys have any questions about my experience so far feel free to send me an e-mail or a message on Facebook!<\/p>\n
