A Recap: In Pictures (my upload cord arrived today!)
This is me, on the roof of the New Museum of Scotland. Behind the tree you can see the Castle.
However, here is a better picture of the castle.
Here is my doorknob. Usually these sorts of things come attached to doors (Dear Maintenance - It's been two weeks since I alerted you to this fact)
This is the most disgusting party I've ever been to. Look at them. Seriously, just look at them. If that is what Scotland is coming to, I don't want to be a part of it. Ugh.
And finally, here we have proof that I can actually feed myself and stay up-to-date with current events. It's almost like I'm an adult!
In other news, there's not much going on here right now. I had my first tutorials this week, and they're a bit scary. Actually, only one of them is. My Human Rights one was really good. We have a small class, so the professor teaches all of them. It's nice to have her there. She also was awesome the other day in class. A girl raised her hand and asked how much reading we should be doing from the required reading list because, oh hey, she's sooo busy with her dissertation. Seriously, stupid question. The professor just looked at her and said, "You're a university student, you've been a university student for the past three years, you should know be able to judge that yourself." Stupid.
The scary tutorial was for my International Political Economy class. I walked in and the TA looked a me before saying "Oh, you must be Katie. You didn't come to tutorial last week." Um, oops. I didn't even realize we had tutorial the week before. Turns out I had also done the wrong readings. Basically I could not have messed up any more than I did. Then everybody knew what they were talking about. Economics is not my strong point to begin with. I feel like that class is going to be a disaster. We'll see anyway.
What else? I made soup for the first time ever. Cabbage soup actually. I even managed to make it taste good with curry powder and cumin. One of my roommates who hates cabbage even said she liked it. On top of that culinary success, I made sausage rolls and they were also delicious. I think I'm actually getting the hang of this kind of stuff.
