The Concluding Introduction After eight weeks in Europe, my journey is complete. Ten weeks in total, if you include the few days in France and the two in Dublin when my connecting flight was delayed. I’ve spent the majority of my summer out of my home country, and I feel the experience has aged me…

So Sick in Sol: Madrid Week 3
This week’s been a little hectic, hence the blog post being even later than usual. I actually got to experience first-hand Madrid’s hospital system! Not to worry, I just came down with a light case of Covid. I did sadly miss a trip to Valencia. Now I’m well and almost ready to return to work,…
Socially Succeeding in Spain: Madrid Week 8
Well, here we are. My final blog while I’m in Spain, and somehow I posted it a week early. I’m adding a little post-mortem introduction here to make this into a totally different blog. I’m not sure what to say to that encapsulates my last two months here, so I’ll leave that for the final…
Bar-Cell-O-No and Malaga: Madrid Week 7
Weekend Recap Well, this has been the most eventful week for me with the highest highs and lowest lows. For starters, I had a weekend trip with the gang during my trip to Barcelona. I think I forgot to talk about that in my last blog. The city was beautiful, and I’ve included a few…
Finally Not Sick or Homesick: Madrid Week 6
Welcome back to Adit’s series of blogs! Somehow I’m past the halfway point. I’m honestly scared to think that less than a month remains of my time in Madrid. There’s still so much I have to do! This week is mostly pictures of the Temple of Debod, an Egyptian temple taken down and reconstructed in…
Skills and Segovia: Madrid Week 5
Introduction Well, this week flew by. Most of my pictures for this blog relate to my trip to Segovia this weekend. The city was beautiful, I vividly recall the palace, cathedral, and fortress, although sadly the tower was closed by the time I arrived. We lost a couple of hours figuring out the rail system….
Sorry, I Can’t Eat Pork: Madrid Week 4
Okay, recovery time. The majority of Spain has been easy, if not enjoyable, to get used to. The architecture, a blend of Renaissance and urban, is beautiful to walk through. The prevalence of public transportation means I can travel the city cheaply, conveniently, and safely. The people are friendly and treat me like I’m part…
Work, Drink (Coffee), Sleep, Repeat: Madrid Week 2
It’s time for another classically late blog from Adit. I suppose this isn’t a great omen for a blog where the prompt is how do I manage my time. At my internship, time management isn’t a huge issue as I don’t juggle multiple tasks. I’m essentially given tasks in a stream: one by one as…
Hitting the Ground Running: Madrid Week 1
After my first week in Madrid, I can confidently say it’s everything I imagined and more. The breadth of people and places here never ceases to amaze me. I’m strangely reminded of New York City while in Madrid. Just like in New York, there are people from many different places, with different languages and ways…
