After 2 weeks (!!!) in Edinburgh, I FINALLY made it up to Edinburgh Castle. Christine and I had lunch in the Elephant House and then walked up. It was very similar to the Tower of London, except much less crowded, better view, and fewer crown jewels. I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed. I was envisioning gigantic rooms and cloisters. Thank you, Disney for putting unrealistic expectations of castles into my head. The views of Edinburgh from the Castle were quite spectacular, though.
I am still getting over my cold because I had a terrible night's sleep last night. I now remember the downsides of dorms: shared bathrooms; paper-thin walls; loud freshman. The boy directly above me decided to skype incredibly loudly with someone until 12:30 in the morning with sporadic musical interjections accompanied by a guitar. I was not happy, to say the least. But I suppose going to bed at 10 is also a little ridiculous in a dorm.
I am slowly getting through the Master of Ballantrae. Emphasis on the slowly. I have also been thinking about my essays for my internship applications. Emphasis on the thinking. I'm hoping that by frequenting the Elephant House some of J.K Rowling's success (and Harry's magic) will inspire/rub off on me.
Oh, side note, has anyone heard of the cat that is being called for jury duty in Boston? Cats are seriously the most underrated animal and are definitely more trustworthy than humans in a court of law. I'm glad this fact is finally being recognized.
Later, gators
