2 weeks in at Aberdeen…. And I’ve not seen 1 single sheep!

Its false advertising! I was expecting Union Street to be hoaching, but no, there are no sheep in Aberdeen, at least not in the city centre anyway. So we started our internship with GE Oil & Gas 2 weeks ago, a week before most interns, because we’re just that special, at least that’s...

"Your Kid Sucks"

Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE It is needless to say that this last week has just flown by. It seems like it was only a few days ago that I posted my last blog.

I'm just a bus driver . . .

Oh my goodness, time most certainly does fly . . . My first week at National has gone by so fast.

It's Phenomenal!

Hi everyone, Another week has flown by here in Houston, and again it was a phenomenal experience. Work wise, it was a challenging week for many reasons, but for one more so than others.

Hyped up Squirrels and Racket Sports.

Heya folks! Week 2 is over and time is really speeding up here. This past week I feel much more relaxed and at home in Bad Homburg. My colleagues at Fresenius are a major part of that since they've made me feel so welcome. I've gotten used to breakfast in the café at 9:30 every morning...
