Landmines of poop.
Everywhere.

I'm on my lunch break on my first day of work.  It's gone really well so far, people were excited to see me and I them.  But getting back into that routine...realizing that soon most of my friends won't be in NH and I'll be doing the 9-5...it finally hit home that life in Scotland is no longer.  And my stomach is tied in knots thinking about it.  ( Read more... )

Claire just left.

We weren't that close over the semester, but I loved chatting with her about stupid things and learning about Scotland from her.  It's been a wee bit awkward because we have such different lives here but I've actually enjoyed living with her.  I thought I'd be fine with her leaving and all but having that room be empty and hugging ( Read more... )

It's gotten to the time now that a lot of things I'm doing are lasts.  Today was my last day in Edinburgh.  It was really great and I spent a lot of money but on things I was planning to get.  I had my last train ride back from Edinburgh.  Tonight will be the last time I go to Dusk, my last Monday.

Tonight is Final Fling, a big party out on the golf course with music and games and drinking and everyone dresses up in costumes. It sounds like such a riot, I can't wait. I'm going out now to get my costume actually. But it's such a reminder that we have about a month left here. And then Scotland is over. I'm really scared of that. I never ( Read more... )

So what I thought was just a stomach ache from said frosting was not in fact food induced, but due to a heinous 24 hour flu I got around 1 am, Thursday night. So I spent St. Patrick's Day miserable in bed from fever and achiness and delirium. Kind of sucked major balls. But today I woke up fine. I got lunch at Studio which ruled because 1) I ( Read more... )

My body is not liking the massive amount of sugar and butter I ate tonight in the form of homemade frosting. However, I've worked out consecutively for 3 days...so maybe that evens out? I feel pretty good about those odds ( Read more... )
