My Semester In Scotland

This weekend has been packed full of fun. Friday I went shopping with a few friends downtown. The first stop was the Edinburgh Woolen Store. It has been so cold here that I had wanted to buy a scarf. There were so many to choose from… unfortunately many of them were pink or purple or very bright. Not quite my style. I found a very nice black and white cashmere one. It makes all the difference when the wind is howling at a nice calm 40 mph. It has been so strong at times that you cant move any further forward and it just pushes you back. Its nuts. Saturday was an afternoon trip to the Edinburgh zoo. It is situated on the side of a hill outside of town and overlooks the city. There was everything from six different species of monkeys to hippos to deer (like Ive never seen one of those) to my favorite… penguins! There were hundreds of penguins. We ended up closing the park and found us all by ourselves alone in the middle of the penguin exhibit. Ooops! That night I went to the cinemas and saw Definitely, Maybe. It was of course a chick flick but a decent one. Now I’m sure your asking yourself… what exciting thing did he do Sunday? Well today I am doing laundry and studying as electrifying as that sounds. I am looking forward to my London trip this upcoming weekend. I will be flying down Thursday night out of Edinburgh and meeting a few friends there. We are planning to take in some of the sights and go see the show Wicked. I am so excited. I will be sure to post all the details when I get back next Sunday.¬†
