My Semester In Scotland

At the¬†beginning¬†of this week, I was lucky enough to go meet my family at the Edinburgh airport and invite them to my new stomping grounds. We had a busy week planned filled with lots of things to see and places to go. Starting Monday, I picked them up at the airport and then headed to check in to their hotel. Once settled in, we took off on a walk to go see my flat and have dinner at the ‘golf tavern’ next door where we met a bunch of my friends and had a great meal and of course…a pint! Tuesday turned out be a beautiful day in Scotland so I took them climbing Aruthur’s Seat, the mountain in the middle of town, and then we jumped on a train headed for Glasgow. We did some shopping, walked around and just took it easy the rest of the day. We took the train back in the late afternoon and proceeded to crash after all the walking around we did. Wednesday was just as fun. I took them on a tour of the three different campuses that make up my uni. At the last campus, I had my scottish culture class so I decided to invite my sister along to join me. She loved being able to go to a college level course and what was even better was the topic was right up her alley… Scottish Architecture. After class we headed back downtown to meet my parents and then headed to a pub called ‘Deacon Brodies’ for a early dinner. Today, Thursday, I am just finishing up my class of the day and then Dad and I are planning to play golf at one of the local courses as long as the rain holds off! Tomorrow morning, Friday, we are flying out of Edinburgh bound for London for the weekend.¬†
