Homecoming 2010

I can’t believe that I have been home for over two weeks already. It has nearly passed as quickly as my time in Tokyo did. My body took around a week to get used to the Scottish climate again after suffering through 2 months at 35°C. The last...

Bye Bye Boston

Almost two week have passed since I finished my internship at National Semiconductor and it still feels so surreal that I spent 8 weeks working in Santa Clara, California. The Saltire Foundation Internship is without any doubt one of the most life changing...

All good things come to an end...

It has now been a week since touching back down in Glasgow, I’ve moved back to my flat in town and I can’t believe that summer is over. On the plane back from Heathrow to Glasgow my feeling of sadness set in and the thought that I would be...

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...

Back to normal, for a while at least.

I’ve been back in Scotland for just over a week now and what a busy week I’ve had. So much so that I still haven’t blogged about my last few days in Jabil. On Wednesday all the Saltire interns were invited to a lunch with our Global...

Boston Translation

It's strange to think that this time last week I was gearing up for my last day at LIberty Mutual, already it seems like a lifetime ago. Thankfully Hurricane Earl decided to behave itself and we got home safe and sound on Sunday morning. Since then...

In my final week of Bilfinger I spent the first couple of days back working in the Gothenburg office with the other Bilfinger members there. I was assigned to help with project documents in a large tender that the rest of the office has been working on...

Amazing

If I was able to sum up this internship in one word, the closest I could get to describing it would be amazing! Right from the first afternoon meeting with Kenneth Reid at his home, getting to spend some time with a professional like himself was hard...

Good Bye Germany.

This week I though things would start to wind down as I’m in my final week, but no. Monday and Tuesday saw work flying in from everyone in the office which was great. This included re drafting a submission document, doing several tasks for the director...

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...
