probably cause there's a lot less stuff in general.
Thursday was busy, I had dinner with Skylar, Livi & Carolin and Skye's mom. It was really nice to meet her but also weird seeing a parent in one of our kitchens. We watched a video of the last fashion show that the modeliing society did and I met a girl who was born in Calgary! She grew up near Lithowania but when she spoke English she sounded just like home =D. Then I went to the Grad bar with some friends and just chilled.
I went to Edinburgh for the weekend! My train left at 7 am. It was awesome taking the train all by myself during the day so I could actually see outside. When I got there Katelyn was working so I went and did the free walking tour which takes you to a lot of the big places in Old Town and is really really good to get oriented around the city.
After my tour I went to New Town and met up with Katelyn! I haven't seen her in a long time and this is the last picture we have together. We went to high school in French immersion together and it was cool seeing a face from back home in a completely new place.
Her flat is pretty big with 4 bedrooms and I loved the couch & TV set up, I didn't realize how much I missed having a living room until I saw hers. We painted our nails and just chilled before we headed out to our ghost/ close tour!
Edinburgh used to have a different layot with really skinny closes (streets) running from the river to the top of the hill but they're mostly covered up now. So it was basically an underground tour of the old streets of Edinburgh. It was pretty creepy. I didnt want to pay 6 pounds for a picture so I just snapped my own photo of it.
That night we made a proper dinner with her flat mates and watched UK reality TV shows.
We went to the museum and the most interesting part for me was the animals.
We went to a free lunchtime improv show.
We walked everywhere in Edinburgh 1)because it is possible and 2)I was too cheap to take the bus. We did some serious window shopping and I got way too many ideas. Then we went back to her flat, made a really good pizza and salad for dinner and watched the holiday and I thought of all the snow that I'm not missing from back home. My train left at 8 but I can't wait to go back!!
Monday was overall a really good day. My classes had boring tutors but it was sunny all day and I sat in the sun for an hour and had an ice cream cone, it made me smile cause I though of Pigeon lake. Sam lent me a book, a real book! =) I haven't read one in a long time because I didn't bother bringing any over, and I have my kindle. I had dinner with Skylar and Livi again and then watched spirited away with Elise in the JCR. Also, my EVENSTAR NECKLACE CAME!! Soooo excited! Elise loved it so she got a matching one off ebay, we are too cool.
