When it all starts to click together...

It's the end of week 5 and I'm starting to feel a little more organised, my computer is finally in order, calendar synched, course notes typed up and my handouts are all filed (alphabetically by professor of course). This might sound ridiculous...

Just start!

Okay, so here goes. Just start! Although I'm no stranger to social media, blogging seems like an alien experience. Maybe it's the fact that its more than 140 characters long and not typed using my thumbs? Sorry it's taken this long to take...

From an Intern to a Fellow

Back in June 2008, I touched down in New York City as a bright eyed Saltire Foundation intern. I arrived in a world where George Bush was president, Lehman Brothers was still standing and Justin Bieber was uploading his first clip to YouTube. It was the...
