Somehow I’ve nearly been here one month, similar to so many things it seems to have gone by very quickly. Yet again at the end of a week I am very tired (it is odd to think of Sunday as the end of a week, I am far more used to it seeming like a [...]
I’ve been here almost a month and yet up until now I have only actually seen where I live, the office and the route from my house to the office. Excluding the detours I have made trying to follow that route. Therefore, today, I decided I would actually see some of the area where I [...]
Things have been quiet on this blog for the last few days, a reflection on how busy I’ve been (writing these posts takes a relatively large portion of my time). So, to make up for how lost you must have been without knowing exactly what I was doing, I’ll cover the last few days. Plus [...]
Today was the big Nerf gun battle, mainly due to the size of my companies team we easily won. It was a capture the flag contest, with multiple half-hour long rounds. Originally it was planned for there to be six rounds but fortunately this was reduced to four, I think I might have died from [...]
So, it is now finished. I thought that, compared to the last few films, they actually did quite a good job of it. However some parts were left out for seemingly no reason, such as Aberforth’s goats. What was a great shame was that more of the back story, such as the details of Dumbledore [...]
In preparation for tomorrow there was a screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part one in the office this evening, I went along, of course. Unfortunately it seems the more you watch it the more tedious the camping scenes become, I am still at a total loss as to why it was split [...]
It’s late and has been a long day so I’m afraid this is a short post. Tea has finally arrived in the office, how they have survived without any for some long I don’t know. Unfortunately it is only a small number of tea bags (40) so I’m not sure they will last very long.

Today was fairly uneventful, I spent most of my time working (what a surprise). I now have my Nerf gun for the inter-company war this Saturday, which also means there are now a plethora of guns around the office to provide mild entertainment and stress relief.
My debit card has finally arrived and so I [...]
This is a bit late, but it was my birthday yesterday. After work (where I could finally consume the beer in the fridges) I went out with some of the other interns. American bars are very different to pubs, some seemed to resemble clubs more than pubs (the one that actually had pub in its [...]
So, today is the last day I am unable to drink in the United States. I have been constantly reminded by this as the fridges at work contain beer that is free yet I have been unable to drink. The only country this does not hold in (where alcohol is not illegal) is India, which [...]
