I've now been back in Scotland for just over two weeks and I'm missing Boston already!! My last week at Liberty was fantastic! It included me presenting my final presentation to my manager about how I think the sales staff should be distributed and seeing all of the work that I've done over...

It all feels a bit Surreal...???

Well I have been back on Scottish soil for four days and it has all felt a bit surreal. It must be the change in time zone but traveling home had a strange dreamlike quality. I seemed only to register that I was indeed home in Scotland when I saw my mum at the airport and then got back to the house to...

Leaps and Bounds

It is amazing to think that a little over eight weeks ago I was fretting about what to wear to work (as I am sure most of us; even the boys were doing,) running round the house packing my suitcase and reviewing all the documentation I needed to enter the US and then checking it all over again for good...

It is a sad thought that I will have to leave next friday; I will greatly miss my new friends and the lively City of Boston. I have truely enjoyed my summer here, there has been so...

A very Productive week!

This week has been one of the busiest so far... I have two projects due by Firday, and two projects which require stage two to be finished by friday, plus a whole bunch of sightseeing to fit in. My projects are going well and it is comforting to know that my boss feels confident enough in me that she...

Growing in Confidence

Well I am now officially half way through week five. Its so strange to think that 5 weeks ago i was still in Scotland and now I am in the USA having what i am sure will be one of the best experiences of my life. I can safely say now that I DO NOT WANT TO COME HOME! This week I feel like my confidence...
