I've been is Scotland for a week. A whole WEEK. I feel like I've been here forever but the time is flying by. Adjusting took a few days and I'm still working at it. So far I have only had one rough day, my first one. But I was jet-lagged as hell, it was to be expected. You can feel pretty isolated from friends and family with the 5 hour time difference and all. But I'm slowly realizing that I don't need to be in constant communication with home. With that said, I LOVE hearing from you all back home. I don't want to be forgotten! Facebook, BBM Pin = 3262A636, Skype = ekburr!
Lucky me, I got off the plane with some great girls. Having people around you that are going through the same exact thing definitely eases the stress. They're also just as eager to get out and explore as I am. We've had lots of fun exploring this new world. We've been to Stirling, the city nearby, several times. Some things I learned in town: mall = shopping center and driving here = SCARY. The driver being on the wrong side of the car and the car being on the wrong side of the road is down right nauseating. But there is an H&M is town, so the trip is worth it. Tomorrow we plan to go a little further than Stirling. I'll be taking my first TRAIN. We still haven't decided where we will be going, but definitely in Scotland. Living for the moment is new to me, I like it. I did pre-book a flight to PARIS in March, though. I am SO excited. I'm finally going to places I spent years reading about.
So much has happened that I can't possibly type it all! Here are a few key points:
- The currency is SO hard to adjust to. Coins are worth something and they are heavy. WEIRD.
- Minging = disgusting. This is not something you want to be called.
- The Scottish accent is practically impossible to understand. The British one is cute.
- Girls do not care what the weather is like, they will walk around half naked. all day, everyday
- The grass is green because of the rain and rabbit crap. :)
- You don't need the sun to survive.
- Fish & Chips are amazing but will kill you.
- The beef taste way different. Good, but different.
- BBQ Rib Crisp do NOT equal BBQ potato chips.
- I have not used a flat iron once. The air is a saturated mess.
- Sharing a kitchen with boys is awful. Dear my future husband, you will clean!
I promise pictures and lots of details in the future. Miss you all! See you in JUNE! :)
