The holidays have come and gone and I am back in Edinburgh for 2007. Unlike last semester, I refuse to let myself waste away in my flat. This time I am going to go all out and make the best of every moment. Why shouldn't I? That's what life is for. So, here's what I have so far. I am going on out to Roslin this weekend, then heading out to Milan in two weeks, then Joell, Gabe and Cass will be visiting, and then rough plans to go to Budapest, Ireland, Vienna, Barcelona, Switzerland, Greece, Rome, Germany, the Highlands, and the Lake Country.
As for this past weekend:
I arrived in Edinburgh after yet another excruciating 20 hour traveling process and then hopped on the train to Kilwinning to stay with my flatmate, Kirstin. There, we went to Glasgow (Scotland's largest and most metropolitan city) and saw
It's a Boy/Girl Thing in the world's tallest movie theater, the Glasgow Cineworld. It was a pretty amazing sight...6 floors of screens. The movie was pretty fantastic as well...something I recommended my dadand Erica should see. Which means that it is right up there with
Teen Witch and the Disney afterschool specials. It also starred the guy from
Air Bud, classy...I know.
The next day we went to Kilmarnock and conquered the wonderful world of bowling, pool and go karts. I think the best part, though, was when we went to The Sport's Bar at the Kilmarnock football stadium and Kirstin and Ian let me use the jukebox. BIG MISTAKE. I selected only the best from the 80's pop charts, like "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips and "Careless Whispers" by George Michael. By the time George came on the bartender had his head lying on the counter and Kirstin said, "I think that guy wants to kill himself." But I like to think that I just gave him a something to talk about when he finally got off his shift. Someday he'll thank me.

This is me. Me making a pirate face . Squinty eyes, saying "arrrg!" The similarities are uncanny, I know.
