"Mum's" day here in Aberdeen was in March, apparently they do things early. Not sure when father's day is here.. hmm...
My time here has been fantastic. Most of my classes are done with lectures or have one left. Next week will be mostly review material. The week after that is Solely revision... basically everyone studies their BEHINDS off. I'm a bit nervous about these exams because they are all 80% of the course grade. In other words, the test makes the class. The good news is that I've done very very well in my two divinity courses. Not quite as remarkable in the math courses... but that's alright. I'm trying, what more can I do? :)
Anyway, my exams are May 26, 27, 28, and June 1st. Then I'm done!! So extra love via email or snail mail during that time would be woonnnddeerrfffulll. And Lots of prayers please. :) Especially because my math courses come first. YIKES!
Anyway, my ticket home is a few weeks AFTER that so I'll have some time to relax in the 'deen!! This is nice because it means I'll have a little mini-summer-break before heading back to Champaign for summer classes.
I've been practicing more regularly with the football team. Recently there was this huge parade called the tortures parade (everyone carried sticks with fire on 'em). The girls made this float and then dressed up like rock stars. I helped make the float but went to a birthday party that night. Anyway, the day of the parade was amazing because it was sunny, gorgeous, 65 the whole day... and get this... I got a little sun burned! yah.. I know.. amazing.
The American students I know also decided to try making s'mores since mom and dad were so kind in bringing graham crackers!!! We had to do it in the microwave though.. because it was raining on the day we all had time to do it,.. ;) Scotland.
I also recently got my hair cut... check it out!
Well that's all for now guys... gonna be productive with my Sunday. I might go to the service at the 1100's era cathedral down the road tonight... we'll see!
Love from Scotland! xoxoxox
What was the purpose of the tortures parade? Sticks with fire sounds more like a protest than a parade.
ReplyDeleteI like your hair cut.
