Study Abroad

I remember one presenter saying that it's nearly impossible to get a job without any international experience. If I could go anywhere, I would go to Spain. I'm obsessed. I went their with my best friend before college started, and I want to have a home there someday. (Along with one in Louisville ;) ). I love everything about Spain! Their food is delicious (I LOVE TAPAS and sangria) and their weather is amazing. If i went there, I would shop, eat, and sleep on the beach by the Mediterranean sea. And I would talk to everyone in Spanish because I love speaking it. Professionally, I have no idea what I would want to do. Everything could be a learning experience. As long as I could practice my Spanish while working, I'd constantly be learning. I would obviously want to stay forever, but I'm not sure that's very practical. I think a few months would be perfect. And then, of course, when I'm older, I'll go there and buy a vacation house. Hopefully I'll get a job in which I can work in both the United States and Spain. I'd like to spend half a year in Spain and half a year in the United States. I'd love to see what Christmas in Spain is like. This fits with my personal goals because I want to meet people from all over the world. I also want to learn more about Europe's history, and I want to be fluent in Spanish. In order to achieve these dreams, I'm going to take Spanish classes here at Purdue and look for any opportunity to go to Spain. I also would love to go to Greece! I have a lot of personal connections there, and I can speak a little Greek (even though it's very limited and is mostly offensive! haha).
