SCOTLAND!
i just got back from a 3 days trip to scotland. traveling seems to be getting more and more stressful lately. im getting kind of burned out i think. that, and things have been crazy-stressful lately. im nearing the end of my trip, and frustrations are getting the best of me and patience is running thin. but anywho
Scotland was a ton of fun. we booked a hotel that was MUCH more expensive than i anticipated it to be, i bet it wouldnt have been so pricey had we not booked it the night before. it was nice to have our own room to trash tho. our first night there we just chilled out for a while, then went out and navigated. we found the Royal Mile, which is one of the main streets in Edinbraugh (spelling?) we did some shopping, and i may or may not have bought a wallet that looks like burberry and a passport cover that is INSANELY adorable. i would out pictures on here, but i CANT RIGHT NOW because my computer is still dead. the adapter went out on it, and i had to wait for HP to send me another one. turns out they refuse to send it anywhere but the billing address, and i had to have it sent to the US then to here. it has been 3-5 days and i still dont have it. of course it couldnt have happened in the TWO MONTHS that i had nothing to do academically, it has to happen in the week span where everything is due. its not even that ive been slacking, its that all my work is on my computer. i usually throw it on google docs so i can access it everywhere, but of course i didnt do that this time. the library computers here dont even have word on them! technology HATES europe. its so frustrating.
anyway, scotland.
we saw the castle in edinbraugh, and a couple more cathedrals. they were gorgeous. we didnt get to go to St. Andrews because it was snowing (snowing!) and the buses wouldnt run. i was not about to take a two hour cab ride after paying almost $40 a night for a room, so we stayed where we were. we did some grocery shopping and played a drinking game to CSI: Miami. the game was every time they said something stupid or corny we had to drink. who knew we'd be almost chugging our stuff. that show is so dumb! jessica appointed me judge, the position i was soon thrown out of after one episode. it aint my fault we decided on a dumb show!
the trip was stressful and frustrating. we ended up having to sleep in the airport bc we couldnt afford another hotel in glasglow. we went out to eat, i had a burger ( ^_^ ) we jumped on our flight at 7am, we THOUGHT we left phoebe behind, JESSICA IS A LIAR. overall, it was nice to see scotland, but it wasnt terribly eventful, and it was so nice to be back din Dublin.
since we've been back, we've started to work on our group project. we have to come up with a marketing campaign for a product. we chose a marketing campaign for redbox here in europe. they dont offer any here, weird right? BUT since i dont have a computer, it makes researching and typing terribly difficult. ive been reading handouts for my other classes. READING pieces of paper, who does that anymore? like, highlighter and everything. it BLOWS. i have to make this blog quick, because ive stolen jake's computer from him and he wants it back. jerk :P there will be more posts later. ive got a ton to talk about, considering this is st. patricks WEEK and im in dublin. prepare for a shitshow.
peace out
