Today we played Aberdeen freshers vs. Dundee freshers and we won. I think it's been raining for about 48 hours straight now--walking to class gets you about as wet as playing an hour of Ultimate, although probably not quite so muddy! I came back from practice in a really good, happy, energetic mood (and covered in mud :)). We won our game, ( Read more... )

This weekend I traveled to Stirling for a two-day long Ultimate tournament. It was really my first experience traveling in Scotland NOT as a tourist, which feels very different. There were several other Americans also playing for Positive Mojo, but even so, it felt much different than the traveling I did with the SP earlier when we first arrived ( Read more... )

A run in the sun (to the worshipful tunes of Chris Tomlin, of course) ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to write for a while now and for some reason haven't done it til now.. Anyway, our "Freshers Week" of no class is just about over now! So I will begin class on Tuesday, I believe. I'll let you know about that whole class thing later ( Read more... )

1. Rabbits come out at night. LOTS of rabbits. They're like the black squirrels at Hope College, only not quite so jumpy ( Read more... )

Well, I don't know if anyone is interested in my life and doings in faraway countries.. but, just in case, I have decided to start this 'journal' for those with nothing better to do to read :) Scotland is beautiful, I have many friendly friends here, and all the new experiences are thoroughly enjoyable! I have been spending most of my time with ( Read more... )
