Playing Catch-Up

First of all I must apologize for my lack of posts over the past few weeks. It is not as if I had particularly lots to do, but somehow blogging slipped to the wayside. So, that leaves me here, with almost a month of fun things on which to update everyone!

Let me think, ah yes, I last left you all with the adventure Lauren and I had to St. Andrews in the rain. Since this adventures, I have not done much other than be a student and enjoy life in Dundee. A few of the highlights of these past few weeks have included: many more heart-warming family potlucks with Esther and Lauren, attending basketball games to support Minna and Greg, enjoying the the wonders of technology by skyping with my physics department back in North Carolina, school work off and on, and finding a fun place to volunteer on Tuesday evenings.

Despite my lack of adventures, just being in Dundee and not in Iowa or North Carolina is enough of an adventure for a while. Of course it won't tide me over for long because I have many more fun adventures planned before I head back to the states. Speaking of heading back to the states, each day I realize my time here in winding down. Yes, I know I still have a month and a half to enjoy Europe to the fullest, but the thoughts of going home are bitter sweet. On one hand it will be so nice to be at home for a short while before heading off to my internship this summer. And on the other hand it will be so sad to leave all these amazing new friends I have made. Ok, enough about sad, serious things like leaving.

As I am eating my lunch and writing, I realize that there have been a few really exciting things I must mention. #1 My wonderful, amazing cousin Rachel came to visit! #2 I am done with classes! and #3 I went on a weekend trip to Inverness to kick off my three week Easter Holiday time before exams. I have decided, for the ease of reading, to break these adventures into two more posts.

Stay tuned....
