Hey y'all, And so I’m halfway through my 8th and final week working for Jabil. Beginning to utter my goodbyes has made me realize what great friends I've formed over the last two months. I've already promised two of the guys a tour of Edinburgh when they visit, as both have plans to...

"Glad it's Monday tomorrow, only have to get up at 7.15am", or 'Tourism Taken Too Far.'

Hello! Safe to say I've strayed my pattern of sitting down and blogging at some point every Monday night.. but it's also safe to say this past week has been one of my busiest yet!! I didn't think it was possible to feel as tired as I was earlier this week, even the (obviously) favourite hobbies...

Dinner in the Desert lit by Giraffes on Fire.

Hello y'allll, and thanks for reading my blog! I'm just beginning my 5th week here in Florida, working for Jabil Circuit, and as you might have guessed by my rather cringe-worthy greeting I'm really feeling integrated and at home here now! It's a feeling I really had after leaving some...

Florida: Flip-flop lickin' good!

"Fancy going out for lunch today?" "AYE."

Hello blog readers, this is my second blog from sunny hot and sweaty Tampa, Florida, where I've just completed my first (and should probably be sleeping in preparation for my second) week working as a Finance Transformation Intern at Jabil Circuit. So... I feel like I've got through a lot in...

Peanut Butter Cheesecakes & Boy Scout Boulevard!

Hello blog readers! I'm Aidan, one of two interns invited out to work for Jabil at The Sunshine State here in Tampa.

"If the banks crash... I'll just hunt deer" - Kurt Hansen

Unfortunately we've had a bit of a problem with our hotel internet so by the time I post this it may be slightly outdated... Another week in the States and the halfway mark is fast approaching.
