Day 10/11

I'm just going to start out by saying damn I am tired! Classes have started and it has been stressful, especially since the class I just left is probably the most boring thing I've ever experienced. Time to switch.

Anyway, as I was saying before, my sunday was definitely a lazy day. Didn't do too much, watched a movie called trainspotting with friends at Benny + Daves, pretty intense movie. It was based in Edinburgh, the opening scene was actually on the main street here, Princes street - I probably walk it every other day if not more. After that I went and watched the chargers game, or at least 3 quarters, the tavern closed before the game was over! Damn you time differences.

Monday was a good day though, woke up and started it off by going to Edinburgh castle! What a place... it is much much bigger than Stirling castle. But ironically enough, a lot of the history that I read in Edinburgh castle referenced Stirling! Apparently Stirling is where almost all the kings were crowned, and a whole ordeal with the crown jewels happened there... it is a pretty historic place - and we had no idea! Yes, Edinburgh castle, quite a sight. There were magnificent views of the city from the edges of the castle, you can really see a ways out there. We picked out a few more places to visit that we saw out in the distance. I'm sure that will be sooner then later.

After the castle I had my first class, Cognitive Psychology. It was interesting, more so because it was inside of a church! Who has classes inside churches?! Especially about a science such as this one, I guess the whole science vs religion thing isn't a big deal here. It was a good class though, all about language and how we use it and how it is processed etc etc... the professor was very nice, even though she said "ehm" instead of "um", I held back my smiles. ;)

Then I finished off my day with a giant adventure to find plastic cups and ping pong balls with a group of friends, which we failed at. Well, sorta, we found plastic cups that were a little smaller and clear, rather than the normal red cups. And Benny found a ping pong ball under his freezer. So we were able to scrap up the necessary pieces to play you know what. Which, I am still undefeated at, 18-0 now... with 4 trolls, poor poor girls... :) Very fun day!
