Oh Thursday

Life is just moving along here in Scotland. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am not celebrating here, but it's cool. I don't feel like it is Thanksgiving since no one else is celebrating. My American classmate and I are going to have dinner together sometime next week to celebrate late.

I have a new roommate. Apple moved out due to financial and personal reasons. Unfortunately I wasn't here the week that she decided to move out. But our roommate is a German guy named Jens (sp?). Anywho, he's really nice and here to do some research for his masters. He has a girlfriend, so don't try to hook me up (Allison, Jena, Tangela). haha. He's already blending in with 3 girls. He went for a late night chocolate run last night. Ate dinner with us tonight as we talked about boys. haha. Poor guy.

I am leaving tomorrow for the weekend. My program is going to The Burn in the Highlands. It should be a beautiful weekend in the country...if it doesn't rain. It's been raining the last few days, but luckily this is the first time in a while. I now have to try to pack all the necessary items in a tiny Vera Bradley! Yikes. Oh, and go get snacks. haha. The good thing is I will now be able to enjoy myself cause my paper due next Friday isn't due until 17 DECEMBER! Talk about an extension. Yay.

Please keep my friend Jackie's step-dad Jeb in your prayers. On Tuesday he was in a very bad car accident. He is currently in the ICU and undergoing some surgeries to help correct all sorts of injuries. So any and all thoughts and prayers would really be appreciated by Jackie and her family during this hard time. Especially since it is the holiday season and a time for families to be celebrating!

Ok, well I'm off to finish packing! I will take pictures this weekend to make a fun blog for Sunday...so keep an eye out for those.
