Week 6/7 - Going for Gold!

I write this blog on the Sunday evening preceding my final week here in Boston, knowing that this time next week I will be back in the UK (and most probably tucked up in bed as it will be the middle of the night and I'll be feeling very jet lagged...

Learning to handle the heat!

I’ve titled this post “Learning to handle the heat” because it seemed to fit as a description for my great experiences in the last couple of weeks living in Boston as a Liberty Mutual intern. If any of you have read the blogs of the...

From Tanned Tenants to Tinned Tennents

It’s been a week of enterprise, work, history, academia…and Irn Bru? Yes, that’s right, in only my second week here in Boston, I’ve managed to track down perhaps the only supplier of the orangey sugary delight that synonymizes...

Week 1 - time flies....

So, week 1 in Boston is over and already I have experienced so many things and come across so many people (it would be difficult not being an intern at a company as big as Liberty Mutual - 4000 employees in Boston alone!!). My journey began last Friday...

A series of fortunate events...

It’s often difficult to know where to start with these things, especially at the end of a whirlwind week one as a Saltire Scholar in Boston. Overall this first week has been filled with a lot of great experiences of every kind (hence the title of...

Connections with the Boston Mafia

The toil of choosing the name of your first blog post can be a daunting challenge. This first week of this Saltire escapade for many has no doubt mirrored my turbulent first week here in Boston. In just under a week I’ve flown across the world,...

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...

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...

Get out of the freezer, it's my turn!

So its 2 weeks into my internship and myself and the rest of the guys seemed to have perfected a new talent...inhaling our food!! Seriously, what they say about portion sizes over here in America is so far from the truth...they are bigger! I’m going...

Good things come to those who wait...

Hello Saltire Universe. For some reason, my first blog post did not upload, but that means you have a double scoop of information from me. No seriously, i wont bore you with what i did in my first week outside of work, read the other Saltire interns in...

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...
