Highlights of Spain

Thomas Jacob "Tommy" Hilfiger (born March 24, 1951) is an American fashion designer and founder of the brand Tommy Hilfiger.
After turning to the design of clothing by designing for the rest of his stores in upstate New York, Hilfiger moved to New York City with his now estranged wife, Susie. Although he was offered design assistant positions with designers Calvin Klein and Perry Ellis, and was broke, he turned them both down with greater plans in mind.
In 1984, he founded the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, (NYSE:TOM), with support from The Murjani Group, which went public in 1992, introducing his signature menswear collection. By 2004 the company had 5,400 employees and revenues in excess of $1.8 billion. Hilfiger was named Menswear Designer of the Year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 1997.
In 1998, Hilfiger gave singer Aaliyah her endorsement deal, in which he honored her in his Summer 1998 fashion show in Jamaica.
In 2005, a CBS TV reality show called The Cut tracked the progress of sixteen contestants as they competed for a design job with Hilfiger in similar fashion to Donald Trump's The Apprentice. In the end Hilfiger chose Chris Cortez.
Largely due to declining sales, in 2006, Tommy Hilfiger sold his company for $4 billion, or $16.80 a share, to Apax Partners, a private investment company. In March 2010, Phillips-Van Heusen, owner of Calvin Klein, bought the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation for $10 billion.

Spanish Poetry

While I was in Spain I took a Spanish Literature class and we studied poetry written by Spanish poets. We had to write two original poems as a part of our grade. Below is the one of the poems that I wrote. I will add a translation a little later. 


Movimiento de la vida por: Erin Ruppelt

Un ser indefenso es traído al mundo.
El sentimiento de amor como nunca antes.
La primera vez de que caminas y hablas.
Movimiento de la vida.

Correr libre sin parar.
Todo es alegre y todo es un juego.
La primera vez de que monta en bicicleta aprende a nadar.
Movimiento de la vida.

El mundo está a favor o en contra de ti.
Tiene que hacerte decisiones para el futuro.
La primera vez que maneja y citas.
Movimiento de la vida.

Completamente sólo, ahora es el mundo real.
Caras lugares y puestos de trabajo nuevos.
La primera vez de tener un marido y un trabajo real.
Movimiento de la vida.

Más y más personas llenan a las casa.
Los años pasan, pero cada minuto es precioso.
La primera vez que ves tus propios hijos y luego unas arrugas.
Movimiento de la vida.

Las nuevas generaciones han nacido y el tiempo es lo que más importa
Tiempo para disfrutar de pasatiempos tú amas.
Con el tiempo todo te detienes, no te arrepientes la belleza.
Movimiento de la vida.

Well, today is my last day in Spain! It's a little sad because I know I will miss it, but I'm ready to be home. I'm not sure what I'm doing my last day here, but in Segovia it is the Festival of San Juan. All the stores will be closed and a bunch of events will be going on. I guess I will have to see what is out there!

Fountains Galore

On Saturday we had an optional excursion that we could go on to La Granja, Spain. It is only a 25 minute bus ride from Segovia. It's a small city that is known for its beautiful Palace that the King and Queen lived during the summer months. Meredith, Megan, Sarita, Kamyla, Director of the program, Lisa, and I went. It was a small group but it was still a lot of fun and I'm really glad that I went. 


We stayed for an afternoon for a tour in the Palace and to watch four fountains shoot water. The inside of the Palace was huge, there was even a long hallway with rooms attached just for the Queen to go for walks! The view out of each window was beautiful as well because there is a big garden that is probably miles long with flowers and lots of fountains. On Saturday, they started the "fountain show" at 5:30 and we moved from one fountain to the next. There were hundreds of people out to watch and many children in their swimsuits because sometimes the fountains sprayed so far onto the sidewalks. It was really pretty and refreshing to get a little wet because it was so hot outside. 


On another note, today was my last day of classes and tomorrow is our final exams. I leave on Thursday to go home and I'm a little sad to leave Spain, but I'm excited to be home in my own bed and with my family. Also, I officially have bed bugs and all my stuff is infected. So today I moved into another room and bought a few new clothes to wear for the next few days. They are coming to spray our room with chemicals and then I will have to pack all that stuff up, take it home, and wash everything in really HOT water. I can now say I've been to a Spanish hospital and have experienced bed bugs, two things I never thought I'd experience. It's all an adventure!
