Sorry it's been a month since I've posted. I was wicked busy with finals, then wicked lazy with vacation.
So, finals went okay. Glad I busted my arse studying though!
Then I didn't do much over break. Mostly watched movies, read, and slept. There were a couple parties organised for those of us in Glasgow over break, which were fun. Christmas Eve I went to the service in the old cathedral, almost completing of one of my goals - I want to go to a Latin Mass in an ancient church. The cathedral is now part of the Church of Scotland, but it still counts as ancient. It was a nice service. The words to "Silent Night" are different in Scotland: "Still the night, Holy the night," and a couple other differences.
New Years (or Hogmanay) I had a dinner party and movie night with some friends, which was really nice. Glasgow and Edinburgh (and a couple other places) have giant street parties, competing with each other for the biggest, but you had to buy tickets, and I didn't want to be in a sea of tens of thousands of drunk people.
A few days ago I checked out the Doctor Who exhibit at the Kelvingrove Museum. It left much to be desired: just a couple costumes, bad animatronics, and whole bunch of television screens.
A group of us were going to go to Inverness this weekend, but Katy, who has the car, slipped on the ice that covers most of Glasgow, and killed her knee, so we'll have to go some other time. Inverness is right near Loch Ness of the famous monster, and where one tradition has it that MacBeth killed Duncan!
Classes start again tomorrow. I'm not exactly sure what I'm taking, I'll let you know when I know!
