Meet, greet, climb, get sick

Long time, no post. But to be quite honest, the last week was rather uneventful. I went to a ceildh (pronounced kay-lee, thats gaelic for ya) on Thursday night and enjoyed very rambunctious Scottish dancing, which is more like spinning around in circles, all the time as fast as you can. I went on an international student trip where I climbed up 3000+ feet and enjoyed the beautiful view from the top with a couple of friends, while eating chocolate bars and crisps. I went to the beach and took tons of pictures of ocean rubbish. I saw the train bridge from the Harry Potter movie in Glenfinnan. I've met students from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Estonia, France, Norway, Wales, Britain, Bulgaria, Austria... to name a few. Last night I hung out with my flat mates and watched four consecutive episodes of Dawsons Creek. I've developed a refined level of knowledge about various types of cabbage.

Ok, maybe I've done more than I've thought...

Today I met my instructors, saw my huge studio space and was introduced to the printmaking studio and life drawing room. We don't actually start working until next week - but then we start rotating on 2 week schedules, 2 weeks painting studio, 2 weeks life drawing studio, 2 weeks printmaking studio, then repeat until the end of term. This should be awesome...
