After a few month hiatus, I’m back blogging from Europe! So
for all you loyal followers, who got me over 2,000 hits last time I did this, I
hope you enjoy reading about my European adventures round 2.
To get an idea of how absolutely awesome it is to be abroad,
I am typing this blog while sitting at a table at the Elephant House, the very
café J.K. Rowling FIRST WROTE Harry Potter (yep- that’s right, on the famous
napkin)—if that’s not creative inspiration, I honestly don’t know what is. With
that in mind, I hope that the blog posts coming your way this semester are even
1/1,000,000 as cool as Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer’s Stone.
In case you’re wondering where in the world the Elephant
House is (which I would be), it’s in EDINBURGH!!! The beautiful, historical,
and rainy capital of Scotland, and my home for this semester. If you’re now
wondering why in the world I chose to come to Scotland, just thank Penn for
their absurdly impossible rules for travelling abroad when you don’t
proficiently speak a foreign language. Lo siento no lo siento for dropping
Spanish….But, truth me told, I’m so thankful for their crazy rules, because
otherwise I never would’ve ended up here, and after only a week, I’m SO glad I
did. I was fortunate enough to cross the pond with a great Penn crew—shout out
to Tara, Lizzy, Ilana, Sam, Lyndsey, Jacob, Flint, and Todres (all of you
better be reading this blog, since I’m sure you’ll be starring in it
frequently.)
All it took was a little strolling down the Royal Mile, exploring of New Town, a hike up Arthur’s Seat, a taste of some whiskey, and embracing the
fact that I can never travel without an umbrella and that my hair will be in a
permanent state of frizz to feel right at home.
Plenty of more posts coming your way—Hope
you cannes all still keep up with me!
Keep calm and always remember to LOOK RIGHT when crossing the
street.
