The day started with me getting up early to shower, which I surprisingly did. BES wasn't bad today, really interesting actually. Some students had to interview other peers (from the UK) on themselves, whether they consider themselves British, and so on and so forth. Next was contemporary Britain where we talked about re-branding Britshness. Which is what I talked about later during the seminar. During the hour I have off I sped walked/took the tube over to Holloway Road so I could turn a piece of paper into the international office. As I was walking back to class I passed some people from the first seminar classes, knowing I was going to be a little late. All was well though, I made it after rushing around for an hour (I'm a walking machine now!) and then catching my breath for about a minute. I gave my little speech, or more pointers and then we had out discussion. After class I waited for the professor to let her know I wasn't going to be in class next week, it was taking too long so I hurried back to the tube station and back to St. James Station. From there I went to Strutton Ground, got myself some grapes and apples for my journey. Off to VH it was to finish packing and talk with Joe for a bit.
Once back, like I just said, I did start to pack. I turned on my computer to get onto skype, then went and made myself two ham sandwiches, and then one roll with the rest of my butter, which was not a lot of butter. I packed some chips and then the rest of my kit kats and snickers too. I did decide to bring my computer, which I am not on now, just so I could update my blogs, well not technically, just write them up and later I can copy and paste.
At 2:45pm off I was to Kings Cross. I found my train just fine. I sat and ate one of my ham sandwiches for lunch and a bag of chips. The train ride was 5 hours, which after being here doesn't seem that long. I read the fourth Percy Jackson book, and got over half way through it. I did semi-meet some guys. They were drinking Stellas and having a good time on their way to Edinburgh. I just 'met' them because one asked me to take a picture of them. After I took the picture the same one that asked to take a picture of them asked me if I would like to get a picture with him. I didn't really know what to say so I said sure. Some guy in Scotland has a picture of me on his camera. Awesome. They were nice though.
After getting off the train in Edinburgh I finally made my way to the hostel, well I found it that is. Not as hard as it seemed at first, of course I didn't know where I was going. I checked into my room. I have a six bed room to myself so far, hopefully it stays that way. I ate my other sandwich and then bought some internet time. Now I am updating my blog for all of you to read! I am heading up to Loch Ness tomorrow! I don't know if I'll buy any internet minutes while I'm up there, but maybe when I get back to the same hostel Sunday night, before my half day in Edinburgh! I'm so excited to see the rest of this city. I will let you all go for now though. Sorry if there are any misspellings in this blog, or weird added in punctuation marks. The keyboards are a little different here. Talk to you all soon. Cheers
