so, the other day I decided to go to the bathroom. Granted, i decide to go to the bathroom on most days, and only every so often do I go to the bathroom without deciding to, but today was special. I went to a special bathroom. this room had a sink within reach of those sitting on the toilet. I said "awesome!" I now could multi task by washing my hands while going to the bathroom. the task being done, I wiped with my newly clean hands and only then did I realize how pointless my earlier timesaving endeavor had been.... read more

So, the school has this society called the international society. It is a nice thing, where they plan trips for us. unfourtunately, they are bus trips where we spend 7 hours driving and 2.5 hours out and about. one has to make ones own fun. Thus the trip to lochness and inverness was fun not for the places i saw but instead for the things that we/ I did. pictures are examples of this. oh, and in an effort to meet other non-americans/ canadians, the other international studnts and I sponsor crepe night. and, boy, am I good at making crepes. soooo good that the ladies and some guys swoon when I flip those suckers. classes here are interesting, you could skip them all and learn off of the power points and probably not miss anything...so ... read more

The amount of fun at any Ceilidh is truly endless! I don't think I have been hit in the head, stepped on, and swung around so much in my life, and still have been laughing and smiling afterward. This Ceilidh was great mostly because it was put on for International students, so hardly anyone knew what they were doing. It was absolute chaos, but loads of energy and fun. Stu and I got to enjoy a beautiful solo waltz in the middle of the dancing as well, it was quite brilliant.... read more

I have finally got around to setting this up. turns out thatbbeing a student and a tourist is a tough job, with lots of little things work work out. It is esspecially rough because the classes here are...not hard. this lack of challenging material if disconcerning because I actually need to know htis stuff later on. however, the worry is remedied by looking outside. well, walking a little bit. while me room affords a view of another building, a 5 minute walk brings me to an ancient cathedral and through a creepy and riveting park, or to the beach, or to a river, or to my destiny....maybe. last weekend i went to stonehaven...which was very very pretty. um...when i actually have the pictures off of my computer i will put them up (now i am on ... read more

Girls' Night Out Europe » United Kingdom » Scotland » Aberdeen By KellybellyFebruary 19th 2007Kelly Howard I decided it was about time I went out with the girls on the town. We ended up having a terrible night, but made the best out of the ridiculous situation. We were offered some bus/pub deal where if you pay £4, you get a ride to a pub called the Paramount, hang out there until midnight, then the bus comes back and takes you to a club called tiger tiger for free access, "good" music and cheap drinks. The girls I was with all wanted to go, so I accompanied them. Oh goodness, ... read more

Photographer's Dreamscape Beautiful place! One of my favorite landscapes in Scotland so far. The Dunnotar (sp?) castle is stunning and the coastline is beautiful. A group of us nerdy international students took a 30 min. train ride south of Aberdeen to this Home of the Deep-Fried Mars Bar ... read more

We watched a piper processional for the haggis, neeps, and tatties then participated in an exhausting ceilidh through the late night.... read more
