For Hogmanay, which is New Years, we went to Edinburgh which was really fun! I think it was my first New Years where I actually did something that wasn't at home, and it was really fun! There were free concerts and rides and games and a bunch of food and drink carts and it was fun to just walk around, though towards midnight it got insanely crowded! And the fireworks were crazy! At first they were just impressive, then by the end there was so much firework and smoke you couldn't even see the castle anymore! (I should mention they shot them off form Edinburgh Castle). It was really fun! Unfortunately we didn't plan too far ahead so there were no hotel rooms available, or at lease ones that were cheap or didn't make you stay for 3 days, so we drove home, but it wasn't too bad, it even snowed on the way home! The last week off I've mostly been relaxing, watching a terrible amount of TV, but enjoying being bored before school starts and it gets crazy!
Today we had our first day back. It wasnt too bad, except that 3 of the 4 classes are in different rooms, and different buildings all over uni, so we sit for an hour, move, have the same class in a different place, move to anatomy, and then we were done! But then we got an email telling us about these review presentations that we have to present to our groups (which we knew nothing about and didn't even know that we were going to have to do them at some point) and the first groups go wed! Fortunately mines not till Feb, so I have a bit longer to get it all together, and its a group thing so it shouldn't be too bad, but its still a tad confusing, but thats true for a lot of our program. Tomorrows a busy day, so I did some notes and studying and cleaning now and hopefully get to bed kinda early to be rested for tomorrow, so I don't nod off in class!
You make me want to go to Scotland for New Years next year!
