Going to get me some Haggis!

So tonight is a VERY exciting night. Why is that? Because I'm leaving at 11 pm to take a coach bus to Edinburgh, Scotland!! It is currently 6:15 pm here, and I still have not packed for it. I am currently doing my laundry down here in the basement of my building, and I'm typing this from the computer lab. Back to Scotland, basically I will be going with 4 other girls on a 3-day tour of the Scottish Highlands with the Haggis Adventures Tour group in Scotland, which leaves tomorrow morning around 8:30. Needless to say tomorrow is going to be a very long day, and I hope I can get some shut eye tonight! We're going to see Edinburgh, Isle of Skye, Lochness, Eilean Donan Castle on Loch Duich and Glencoe! To be honest I really don't know too much about Scotland so I am looking forward to learning and seeing all that I can. We will be getting back around 6:45 am on Monday morning.

This week has been a pretty good week. I'm having a momentary lapse on what I did on Sunday, I'm assuming it wasn't anything too significant. Monday I just had 6 hours of class, Tuesday I had 3 hours of class in the morning and then Catey, Jess and I decided to go to Trafalgar Square to see the National Gallery and a life-size chess board that contenders are playing daily. It was pretty neat! We wandered down through Leicester Square (where a lot of the theaters are located and the 1/2 price ticket booth), and over to Chinatown. It was a lot of walking but a nice walk! Tuesday night Cassie, Catey and I went to what was Princess Diana's favorite pizza place, right down the street from where I live. It was the second time I have been there and it was delicious!!

I've been trying to be more productive this week, and so I decided to start walking to get more exercise and hopefully tone up a little bit. I went for a "power walk" in Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens two days, and finally saw the Peter Pan statue! I also saw the Princess Diana Memorial and may have seen the Queens horses in an exercise yard there. I can't be sure those were actually them though. There were also two nights where I walked down to Knightsbridge and to Earl's Court. The area I live in is a great place to take walks. I feel like there is always something new I haven't seen.

Yesterday I made a very exciting purchase- a brown corduroy blazer! I've been looking for one for a long time now and finally found one at H&M, so I feel compelled to announce that! I had class until 8 pm last night and spent the rest of the night back here. This morning Kelsey and I went to the Science museum for about an hour and a half and then I had Contemporary British Theatre class from 1-4 pm.

I apologize for not posting a new entry in a while, but I will definitely post one once I get back from Scotland! Until then, cheers!
