Sydney and Christie Visit

This weekend some of my bestest friends from Haverford visited me in Edinburgh! The majority of the photographs taken were on my friends camera, but I still have some beauties of us climbing Arthur's Seat. I've got to tell you- this time up was the most special of all. It was the best weather I've climbed it, so the view was amazing. And of course, the company was spectacular. I hope you enjoy the photos.

It was a great time being able to catch up with them. Christie is studying this semester in Granada, which is in the south of Spain, and Sydney is studying in London. They definitely had an interesting visit, to say the least. For example, we frolicked on Calton Hill, came in last in the Drouthy Neebor's pub quiz, danced the night away at my school's nightclub, thrift store-shopped, ate way too much chocolate fudge, and braved another freak snowstorm to make burritos with my Edinburgh friends. It was sad to see them go after being reminded just why I love them so much, but I know I'll see them again at some point this summer. I'm just so lucky that they got to experience the city that I've come to love so much- and enjoyed it also!

Cinco De Mayo

Hello all!

Still in the midst of finals, so no real posts from me yet. I'm obviously studying super hard and definitely not goofing off at all. Obviously. See below.


 I just wanted to post to say Happy Cinco de Mayo. Having literally just recovered from some sort of stomach bug, I've decided to stay in, but I still cooked myself a somewhat festival meal.



Side note- NEVER EVER drink Buckfast. That's my one tip from me to you. Thank goodness we don't find this nonsense in the United States.

Hi all,

I apologize for the radio silence, but for the past three weeks I have been traveling across Europe during my school's spring break (and reading period for finals). I will eventually tell you all about my trip, however, it is now finals and I must concentrate on learning all of the material I never bothered with this semester. Quite a challenge, I admit. So you will hear from me when my finals are over (May 11).

Until then...
