sunglasses in Scotland

Sorry I slacked off yesterday by not posting, but I've been quite busy.
Thursday:

National Museum of Scotland

I had four classes and didn't feel like lugging my computer around, so instead of doing work in the library in between classes I went to the National Museum of Scotland. It wasn't too exciting, just a bunch of artifacts. The point of the museum is pretty much a way of proving that Scotland has a separate culture from England.


Thursday night:
I went to a bar with some of my friends and met up with my friend that went to Newton Country Day School. The ski team was having a party there and they had a snow machine! Pretty wild. The main reason I wanted to go there was because they have a drink special where you drink your drink out of a fish bowl. The novelty of being able to legally drink has worn off, but not the novelty of drinking out of weird containers. We then went to a club.

Friday:

It was 55 and SUNNY. I went to a football (soccer) match between my house and my friend's house and wore sunglasses while spectating. Everyone was really jealous of my brilliant idea of wearing sunglasses and I was very happy to not look like an idiot while wearing sunglasses in Scotland.

Friday night:

I went out with my friend and we went to a really cool bar called the Brass Monkey where they have a lounge in the back that has numerous incredibly large couches that look like beds. The dim lighting and warm temperature was putting us to sleep so we had to leave. We went to a a club where a DJ I had never heard of was playing but he was really good and I'm glad I paid the high cover to get in. I ended up finding some guys I know in my dorm and hung out with them the rest of the night.

Today:

It is 45 and SUNNY (again). yay! I'm going to go adventuring with my friend Mary Caroline in this beautiful weather. We're going to go to the art museum and then see where the wind takes us. Hopefully I'll have some good pictures and interesting new facts to share.
