So the other side of the internship, back in Scotland processing the whole summer, my last blog...

I wanted to write this blog before now, but in a way its worked out that I have more precise thoughts about the summer in Florida now due almost being home for two weeks with time to think. I cannot believe I felt like I had forever in St Petersburg at Jabil, and it was basically over in a blink of an...

VIDEO BLOG - A Day in the Life of a Saltire Scholar in Florida

As needs must, I acknowledge that my blogs are largely disjointed and unintelligible – written with tired eyes in stolen moments of time. But I like to think this paints an appropriate image of my time thus far in Florida – fast-paced and intense with only limited time for everyday activities...

Food & Beaches - Life is hard as a Saltire Scholar..

Wow. Only 2 weeks left. I'm already dreading going home. While I've been reading through the other Saltire scholars blogs, I've frequently read phrases like 'it doesn't get much better than this', 'living the dream', 'American dream', 'this is the life'...

Staying Healthy While on Placement

One of the things I've used my summer for in previous years has been to kick all the bad habits that I have built up over the previous two semesters at University. Specifically, the coffee addiction I inevitably pick up over the last month or two, during that horrific period of time that is exam...

Remember Kids, You're Here to Work!

With all the chat in my previous blogs being fairly limited with regards to what I'm actually doing at work and the fact that it has actually changed quite a bit since I last blogged, I thought now was a good time to do a nice big update. So buckle up, this could get long. As I explained earlier...

More baseball, more food, and driving across the road; I'm essentially American

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!
