Pictures!
Finals are over! This is on the double decker bus on the way to my first UK cinema! I was so excited.... it was an adventure!
Lydia and I in the Scottish Hockey rink. The guy wasn't to thrilled about taking our picture. Oh well. :)
My first UK Movie!
My Christmas Tree
My tree Decorated
The weird silver ware I started collecting from different places. Yes they are plastic and wooden. (Don't Judge....Lydia already laughs at me....)
This place serves the best gluten free sandwhiches and the best double mint hot chocolate! YUM! Looks like a castle huh?!
Lydia and I being umm...well us.
Super Nanny Nat to the rescue! LOL
Pay to use the bathroom.... I am ashamed to say I paid to use the restroom.... Thats just crazy!
More pictures coming!
End of the semester!
Allo! I apologize for not being able to post in over a month. I was trying to post in Novemeber but this site kept kicking me out.
This is part one of a few blogs. This is mainly going to be of what has happened, and the next few will be pictures. Enjoy!
The semester is over and now I have to wait till January to receive grades. Oh well. The best part of this semester, dissecting. I have amazing people in my program (8 and 1/2...one is part time so Lydia is half!) and I couldn't ask for better classmates. Lydia and I have tried many different coffee shops and well, thats been a fun adventure in itself. I celebrated Black Friday with Lydia in Henry's Coffee Shop, and all over campus documenting my day.
I have made 3 amazing friends. They are awesome people and I have enjoyed seeing movies, getting coffee, and having dinner with them! One is working in his PhD, one does medical art for a pharmaceutical company (I hope that is right) and then Lydia is working on her Masters in Human Anatomy. It's been hard going to the movies here, due to the stupid seizures, but these friends are super understanding. Lydia and I saw ''Saving Mr. Banks'' and then all of us saw ''Homefront'' :) Great friends they are!
While Lydia and I went to the movies, we learned that Dundee has a hockey team. Not a field hockey, but ice hockey! Our mission next term, to go to a Scottish Ice Hockey game! :) Note to self, my brother is not playing, so I cannot yell ''Hit em!'' I will have to remain as much in game spirit as I can to root for people I do not know, and yell the generic ''fight'' since Zach isn't playing. LOL. ;)
I love my classes. I love my professors. I wish there was more time in the dissecting room. It is amazing. :)
I went to Edinburgh this past weekend for the German Christmas Market. It was pretty, alot of people, but stupid flashing lights. I did buy a coffee maker! (A French Press) for £12 which was a large and 2 types of coffee....Ahhh!!!! Real Coffee! Finally! It was the best £12 I have spent. I love coffee! I tried different types of cheese, must say I loved the pickled herb cheese! So good! I also bought some Mulled Wine (Which is really big over here during Christmas) for my mom, and a wooden turtle. I love my turtles!
So here are the start of the pictures:
Thanksgiving Dinner:
My Black Friday Celebration:
My Cheese on a stick
Studying for finals:
More pictures on the next blog! :)
Cheers!

It's raining...again.
Hello, from the not so sunny side of the pond. It has rained almost every day since last week. I love the rain. I hate the rain and the wind. And I hate the rain when I have no umbrella. But I love the rain with an umbrella. :) Today, I had my umbrella (my third umbrella in a month). Note to everyone who comes here, poundland umbrellas, suck. They are good in the rain, but do not stand a chance in the Scottish wind.
Yes, this is what mine looked like...And I got so many stares...And when I opened my mouth and Said I was on my second umbrella for the day...The locals laughed and I got a sense of, "Hahaha, silly American"
Oh well.
First off...I am dedicating this update to my new niece who was born today! Welcome to the family Mattie. And to her big Brother and Sister... You two better take care of her. ;)
Big sis blowing kisses to her (at the time future lil sis)
The brother laughing because he is now big brother
Welcome aboard, Mattie!
So, on for the update on Scotland. I have this amazing friend. And she has shown me the most amazing place to get lunch and coffe (And super cheap). Its not bad food either, just don't get the creamy chicken bake. LOL....Because neither of us could really tell what parts were chicken and it was funny. But here are some of the views from the cafe:
(Go figure it was raining that day)
This is just one side of Dundee. Next time when we go, I will take pictures from the other side. In this cafe, with my friend, I have learned some British words, 'cuppa', 'trousers', 'brill', 'lovely', 'a cuppa char', and so many others. But then I get to teach her, 'Ya'll', 'awesome', and 'booboo'. The Language differences are odd. I thought I would be coming into an English speaking country and instead it is almost like learning a second language. So thank you my dear for keeping me going and for teaching me the in and outs of this odd little country.
I also had another British soda:
It was pretty good. If you have a chance...look up on youtbe the commercial for Lilt! It's hilarious!
I know I haven't updated for a while, but homesickness and my studies got the best of me. I am now focusing on trying to find a dissertation topic and search for programs after this one. Classes are going well and I am still loving the dissection the best. Who would have thought, that this girl would like dissecting? I remember sitting in Middle School biology refusing to dissect that frog because it was wrong, gross, and by far the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. And now? I find peace. A sense of happiness when I am in there.
Over all things are going well here. I am enjoying Scotland. I love the scenery, the classes, and my coffee time with my friend. She and I also went to a talk on Shrunken Heads...Now that was awesome. Can you tell we have alot in common?!
Next week I have the week off, which I am hoping to knock out my Anatomy essay, which thanks to Dr. Kwon at TWU it should be no problem. I am loving how everything, my Biology, Genetics, Kinesiology, everything is playing a part in my studies. This is the way it should be. This is what it was meant to be.
Well, I am off to study for my test on Friday. I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the updates. I will try to update more frequently.
Cheers!
