My Semester In Scotland

As I am sure you have noticed, posts to the blog have become scarce as the semester winds down for me. The past week has been very relaxing considering I don’t have any classes and finals are at least another week and a half away. Things are starting to become very quiet around the flat as people are doing their last bits of traveling and others pack to head home starting the end of this week. The pubs have been frequented since classes have ended as everyone tries to savor their last moments and memories here. Myself, I have been¬†quarantined¬†in my room for the last few days down with a cold passed on from my¬†flat-mates. It has given me a lot of time to do research on topics for my senior research project which starts this fall. As amazing as Scotland has been since January 25th, the general feeling among my friends is we are excited to end the semester on a strong note, say our goodbyes and jump on a plane headed for home. There is a group of people leaving Edinburgh headed for a few more weeks of travel around the world. Me… well I can’t wait to pick my life back up in NH. With the summer full of promising jobs, time with the family and friends, exciting new challenges, and of course those things you take for granted such as driving, smelling the ocean every day,¬†grilling dinner¬†and breathing in the freshly cut hay fields down the street… I cant think of a better place to spend the next four months…. but home.¬†
