Back in the U.S.A
Before I start my post, check out the new link! Disney just got compared to something they might not appreciate.I spent around 2 months in Brussels, Belgium interning for the European Parliament.
Sorry...I just love saying that all together. It has a nice ring to it!
Anyways, it was definitely a worthwhile experience. As I am very interested in international politics and diplomacy, this was the perfect opportunity for me to broaden my horizons and learn more about a government I was not very familiar with.
I worked in the office of the Vice of Legal Affairs. I did so much copyright research and synthesizing that I am quite surprised my head didn't burst. Along with this, I got to draft speeches and messages for my MEP. The research that I did do for my internship was very interesting and helped me to realize the interesting world of copyright and intellectual property law. My only problem now is if I want to pursue intellectual property law, I need to have a degree in a science-related field. Alas, I do not. Dilemmas...
While in Europe, I got to go to some very beautiful and interesting countries. While being in Belgium, I stayed in Brussels and travelled to Gent. I also went to Zurich, Switzerland and Fribourg, Switzerland. To Switzerland, I stopped in Koln, Germany. Every place that I went to was so beautiful and breath-taking. The landscape was to die for and the air was cleaner. When walking along the river, I could not help but wonder why our lands and bodies of water could not be as clear and clean as it was in Switzerland.
After the two months, I am now home in the United States. In Europe I would travel and do research to aid my MEP's knowledge on copyright, and to further his involvement in diplomacy. What do I do now? Study for the LSAT...sigh...
Until next time!
