The Countdown (5 days)

Hello, 

This is my first time writing in a blog outside of class. So this will be an experiment, that I will hopefully keep up for the next several months. My name is Brian Trubowitz and I am senior in college at Ohio Wesleyan University (OWU pronounced Oh-Woo). I will be studying abroad in London this fall semester. I know most people study abroad their junior year, but I wasn't organized enough in my sophomore year to plan ahead. Thus, I am going abroad this fall. I am very excited.

Alright so a little more about myself. I am from Denver, Colorado, which is a beautiful place. I strongly recommend visiting Colorado at least once in your life and I wouldn't be surprised if you feel in love... But I digress. I am an Economics with Management major with a history minor. My only future plan, as of right now, is to eventually get a M.B.A. Being a senior can be quite nerve-wracking, since the future is so unknown. It can also be frustrating when some of your friends already know what they are doing after college. Even though I don't know exactly what I'll be doing, I just have a feeling that there will be a lot of amazing opportunities ahead of me. 

This summer was a very productive summer for me. I took a summer class at OWU, then had a six week internship at law firm in Rochester, NY. The law firm practiced elderly law or as my dad would like to say "geriatric"law. I was the intern at this law firm and sometimes I would do interesting work, such as accounting for peoples estates, evaluating stocks/portfolios, or witness will signing. Other times it was a typical internship and I would do things, like answering phones, faxing, copying, or writing letters. Overall the experience was great. The work environment was amazing, everyone was very helpful and nice to me. I couldn't have asked for a better internship.

Also, this summer I did a lot of traveling across the United States. I think this past year alone I put almost 20,000 thousand miles on my car. To put that in perspective that is almost going across the U.S. seven times. The car that I drove, mostly, was a 1991 Toyota Previa (Minivan).  It is awesome and I will try and put up a picture of it when I learn how this blog works. The places that I have been this summer are; Columbus, Cleveland/Euclid, Denver, Boulder, Rochester, Ithaca, Buffalo, Fairfax/D.C., Silver Springs MD, Carlisle, Detroit, East Lansing, and any city along I-70. I can't remember much else but hopefully you got an idea that I traveled/drove a lot this summer. I have to say that one of the prettiest drives is from NY to Fairfax, VA on a route called 15. It goes North/South and that drive is what I imagine Ameeerica to be...(yes you must say it like that). I would also like to thank anyone that I stayed with or saw this summer. You are all wonderful people. 

Warning I like to quote songs and sometimes movies. So, I apologize if you don't get the reference. When it comes to music I would like to think of myself as one of those, for lack of a better word, nerdy ESPN sports analysts that loves sports (music) but is so untalented that all they can do is talk about sports 

instead of playing it. Well next blog post will hopefully come from London. So be prepared.
