Hello to all! I am sitting here once again in front of my computed updating you with my life. So...where to start? I am going to Stockholm, Sweden this weekend which will be awesome! I will be dining and drinking (maybe one at most...Sweden is the most expensive country to drink in) with people who have come from all over the world in search for one thing...VIKINGS! I may find myself wielding a sword and growing pig tails braided perfectly...I don't know however if I could pull that look off?
Back to what I am currently doing. I have recently found a job! I am working as bar staff at a pub! It serves your normal type of bar food and is a pub! I am so pumped by the fact that I am actually getting to work in a Scottish pub. Yesterday was my first day and I found myself watching a Celtic F.C. match with a bunch of old Scottish men. It was quite exhilarating. So now all I am trying to do is get a national insurance number so I can get paid...why does the government have to make things so complicated?
*Negative topic of the day*
Schooling? I am taking an accounting class and I was studying this evening with Stephen (my flat mate) and my friends Louise and we were talking about the test next week and Louise informs me that if you fail the test then you fail the entire class. WHAT! I remember everyone saying there is more pressure here because it is all on the student but failing one assignment means that you have to resit the class in August! I guess this means I am going to start studying all the time!
*Back to better topics*
Amanda treated me to a lovely valentines weekend about 30 miles north of Glasgow in a town called Luss. We stayed in this cozy beach house over looking Loch Lomond. It was by far one of the greatest places I have ever stayed and was so beautiful to overlook the loch from our bedroom window. It is always invigerating to feel so small when standing next to a giant body of water that has been there for 1000's of years. We are currently in the process of figuring out what is going on for spring break. As of right now we are leaning towards biking the southern france fro a week and covering about 250 miles. Riding along the coast of the Mediterainian Sea and being able to smell the vinyards from the road would be a beautiful thing.
Well I feel my stomach and my book calling me and saying to pay attention, so I guess this will be the end of my post...
cheers!
dang yo! sweden and south of france, I'm so jealous. I've wanted to go to sweden for so long, i hope you enjoyed it. and biking in france sounds like the best spring break plan i've heard. if i were there i'd do the same. there's a chance (though it's still way up in the air) that sloane and I will come over there together in May, so keep your fingers crossed.
