So...how was your Summer?

This blog is combining week eight and nine of my internship as I have been so busy I don’t know whether it’s New York or New Year! Compiling my last few projects has been both challenging and rewarding. The biggest task I was given was to produce a Retail Training Video to be sent out to...

A Fond Farewell

As I type I am currently wrapping up my last ever day at the Vets Now Support Office in Dunfermline. It’s been a fantastic day with almost too much praise to handle (and photos!). After the weekly Friday morning meeting in which Tina, Abby and myself presented to the whole office(!) Richard proceeded...

My German Adventure

It's now over a month and a half since I arrived back in oh-so-sunny Scotland from my German adventure. So far I've been keeping busy seeing family and friends, enjoying my final fresher's week, and revelling in the delights of organising my university timetable. But now that I'm back...

and back again.

The end of quarter meant that the last week was crazier than I’d imagined, with presentations to senior management by my team to prepare, as well as wrapping up my work for them. (Summarising work you’ve done for someone else to present is really scary, because you can’t be there to...

And so it ends

Well, after eight stupendously incredibly amazing weeks, a day and a half awake and almost 4500 miles, I’m finally home in cloudy, drizzly Scotland. At the minute I feel like someone has played a horrible joke on us, and later on today they’ll stop tormenting us and it’ll be hot and...

Home Time!

So... this is it! I'm all packed up and ready to go but I have some time before I need to head to the airport, so I thought now would be a perfect time for my last blog written from Switzerland! In a few hours I'll be leaving the city which has been home for the past 8 weeks and now, looking...

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...

Mounting Pressure: wrapping up

Hi everyone! this will have to be a very short post because the pressure in the office is quite high right now. It's the end of the quarter and they're reviewing everything that's been happening in the last 12 weeks, and that includes everything I've been working on whilst I'm here...

Home Sweet Home

Normal 0 After much packing, many farewells, a taxi ride, an express train, two flights and 4 movies, I made it back to bonnie Scotland! Even though I've been home since Sunday night, it still feels really strange not to hear cicadas screeching or see any Japanese people walking about... It's...
