Time is Ticking.

In just over 3 months I will be settling in to my new job,  new home and new surroundings at the other side of the pond in Boston Massachusetts (if all goes to plan!). Although this is a scary thought, I am excited to get started and begin my Boston adventure!

Planning our move to America for a year is taking a great deal of time and preparation. From organising accommodation and signing contracts to arranging our visas, we have certainly been very busy bees the past few months. We have had to stay on top of our university studies as well and complete countless course work assignments and various other deadlines alongside our individual work commitments. Luckily for us the planning and organising for our year in the States has been made a lot easier with the help of the three lovely  interns who are already in Boston. Fortunately we are able to move into the apartment the girls have been renting for the past year and so we have not had to endure the task of hunting for apartments around Boston. The four of us will be moving into the apartment in July... Definitely seems like an appropriate time to learn how to cook! The apartment in Brighton is an hour from our work, Northeastern University. We will have to get used to the hour long commute to work on the T every morning (or walk if the sun is shining!).

Excited to start work at NU!

I have visited Boston once before on a skiing trip when I was at high school. We ventured up to Killington for a week of snow and freeeeezing cold temperatures. We spent only a few days in Boston and I have always been keen to return to explore the rest of this wonderful city. There is so much Boston has to offer and I have full intentions to make the most of my time there... after all, a year is not that long! I am glad that my good friend Amy is one of the interns who will be joining me in the States along with Murray and Bunty. Being able to share this amazing experience with friends will make it even more enjoyable. I am sure we will meet many new faces and friends along the way too.

Boston, Massachusetts - Hoping to experience some weather like this!

Now all I have is the small task of traveling down to London for my VISA. Amy and I are hoping to travel down together and of course fit in some shopping on Oxford Street (It would be rude not to!). Then we are ready to take on  Boston!! 

I am extremely lucky to have been given this amazing opportunity with Northeastern University and I know I will gain so much from my year's industrial placement in the States. I am looking forward to meeting my supervisor Francis and the rest of the team at NU Global.

My one-way flight is booked. 

On the 2nd of July, 2013 I will begin my Boston Adventure!
