Blog 5: Long Lies and Free Dinners

This has been one long week; the reason for the very late blogs, sorry. After our lovely lunch last Friday, I left work on early for a road trip to Boston. In Boston I spent the weekend with the Saltire interns there, unfortunately or luckily, Stuart...

Starting my rap career at the Liberty Mutual Senior Forum

I’ll start off by making yet another bold statement: this has been by far my best week in Boston and one of my best weeks in the last year. I can’t believe how much I have done and achieved in the last week and the great memories that will...

From the Sox to the Jersey Shore...

This week I have managed to live out two American dreams. Big statement I hear you say. One of them is pretty obvious, the other is purely reliant on my (some may say bad) taste in television shows. The former came in the form of a trip to Fenway Park...

Starting the "Chain of Events"

Back to the blogs, this week has been yet another busy one in Boston. Alliteration aside, I can’t quite believe it’s been 3 weeks past already and so much has happened. This blog will go in the style of a 3 course meal, inspired by the many...

Pahhk the cahhr in Havahhhd yahhhd

It’s two weeks to the day since touching down in Boston (as if you hadn't guessed by the title) with huge expectations for what lay ahead – needless to say I have not been let down thus far! There’s a lot to fit in to my first blog...

Cracking week 1...

If this blog goes badly I blame it on the amount of gorgeous food I’ve been heavily munching, which has made my arms get too chunky meaning I can’t type very well. I’m in Boston with 5 other interns staying in university halls about...

Genius is Perseverance in Disguise

That's not a quote I agree with entirely, but I certainly hope it applies to my university degree! My exam on Wednesday signalled the end of a fantastic four years of student life, and it's only just starting to sink in that I won't be tackling...

From the green monster to the green-eyed monster

Helping out at the Saltire Foundation information session at Strathclyde couple of weeks ago provided the opportunity to reflect on my experiences before, during and after the internship in Boston, which seems like an age ago now. I can remember sitting...

Blogged Down With Work

There must be an award for the cheesiest title?! This blog is a little overdue, but the joys of dissertations, journal readings and job applications have kept me more than busy over the last couple of months. Fourth year is certainly as demanding as I’d...

Boston Blues

Sorry this blog is well overdue; everything has been so hectic since the plane touched down in Glasgow! The last week in Boston didn’t disappoint. Amongst some last minute shopping, we had our final dinner with all the other Bostonian Saltire interns...
