Summer plans

I must say that it is difficult to write about my summer plans during exam week. All I want to do is get out of the library and get the summer going. This summer has the possibility of being my best ever. Never have I been so excited.

I am starting out the summer by spending 18 days in Western Europe. I leave the day after my last final for London. From there I will take a ferry to Amsterdam. Essentially, I will be the typical American tourist visiting as many cities as possible in a short period of time. After Amsterdam, I will go to Munich and the Rhine Valley before visiting Italy. While in Italy I will explore Rome, Florence, and the Vatican City. I then head north to France before ultimately ending in Paris. Throughout my time in Europe I will have the opportunity to visit some of the most famous museums, buildings, and historical places in the world.

Following my trip to Europe, I will spend 5 days in my home city of Atlanta before heading to New York City for an internship. I am working as a summer investment banking analyst for Credit Suisse First Boston. I will be in NYC for nearly 10 weeks and will live in NYU housing. My internship will allow me the opportunity to experience the real world and determine whether or not life as an investment banker is for me. I have done most of the touristy activities in New York City, but I am looking forward to life in the big city. Also, I want to visit a Yankees game—despite being a huge Braves fan.

Well, that’s it for now. Hopefully, you have enjoyed reading my letters this year.

Take care,
Eric
