Almost 3 Weeks

It's almost been 3 weeks since I arrived. It has been amazing, but my classes are starting to get a little harder. Not only do I have lectures every day; we also have weekly tutorials in every class where you meet in small groups with the professor and discuss and ask questions (usually reading is required for the classes). All in all, classes up here are a good bit more difficult. But it's definitely worth it to get to live in a city like this for 5 months!
It snowed most of the day today and had to walk to my early tutorial in a snow storm! Sounds cool, but it was almost 2 miles in the snow uphill! no joke! haha Check it out on the map below.



as you can see, I def. get to do some walking every day! haha.. It doesn't bother me though with all the great scenery that I walk through.



So today after my classes I went to the...



Royal Mile!

and I saw...



The Castle

Some famous guy and his wife who got greeted with a bagpipe player and many quilted men
