Up until last week I thought I would be living in Australia this summer, but for what ever reasons the company I am working with (Australearn) could not find me an internship in Australia. Even though I was hoping for Australia, I am really looking forward to New Zealand. This will still be an AWESOME experience that I know I will be talking about for years to come.
The company I am going to be working at is MEC Global, and they are a global media agency. To be frank, I don't really know how I feel about working in a media agency. I was not thinking about going down the media route in advertising, but none the less I know I will still learn a lot. And if worse comes to worse, this should make my media planning class in the fall a little bit easier.
I'll be leaving in 41 days, which seems like its going to feel like a long time. I wish I was leaving tomorrow, but I still have a lot of stuff to do. I have three scholarship essays I have to turn in by this Friday, I still have to get a loan to pay for this, and I have to figure out what I am going to need to take. I am not sure about certain things like what kinda clothes to bring for work. I know the industry standard here is usually pretty casual, but for all I know it could be totally different over there. Hopefully my study abroad advisor can shine a little light on this and my questions when I meet with her tomorrow.
