In illustrating the spirit of his vibrant surroundings, Ernest Hemmingway once described the “mad, whirling carnival” he saw around him in Spain. As an American studying at Madrid’s IE Business School I will be documenting my experience with this blog, dedicated to that theme.


For friends and family, you can find frequent updates on my life and adventures by checking back here regularly. For anyone else, I hope you find my posts on business school and life in Spain interesting.

Day of Communications Training In Segovia

Recently we had a fantastic opportunity to take advantage of the Media Lab housed in the IE University campus in Segovia. Together with a communications professor and a full staff of technicians, we had a full day of Media and Communications training with several videotaped sessions.

To watch oneself make mistakes (and too often unnatural gestures) on camera is painful at best, however incredibly useful and insightful.

I'm looking forward to our next session, "Swimming with the Press" during the next term.
































Following the day's exercises we had the pleasure of wondering around this beautiful medieval city of Segovia into the wee hours of the night. We ate cochinillo and marveled at the roman aqueduct which marks the beginning of the old town and a time long since past.
