So, I'm sitting in Starbucks on my iPod touch. I really should be studying for my test that is in a few days, but I can do that later. I'm sitting in a window on the second floor watching people walking around outside and listening to music - I am thoroughly enjoying myself. The thing with traveling with 18 other people is that you don't really get any alone time. Frankly, I am people'd out for the moment. Which ihave cone to realise is fine. I'm also nursing a slight cold that has given me a pretty persistent headache and I think an occasional fever. So a couple hours of sitting around is going to probably be a good thing. Edinburgh is absolutely beautiful. I'm thinking of going farther north to Dundee or somewhere smaller for my day off, though. Or I can just let other people make a plan instead. I find myself annoyed with how I make plans so often. It's like I've lost some of my adventurous spirit or something.
Yesterday I spent a decent amount of time sitting at the back of the st. Giles kirk (church) staring at a statue of an angel holding a shell made of marble. It took me a decent amount of time (until today, actually) for me to realise that it was a baptismal font. It was absolutely beautiful.
Anyways, many churches to visit and museums to go to. Tomorrow we'll be off to cambuslang and Glasgow. Next day - the highlands!
One thing is for sure - grad school over here is looking more and more like a possibility.
