Why am I doing all this fun stuff in addition to (instead of?) studying for my exams which are worth between 50%-100% of my grade? I'll tell you why...
I am a bad student.
But an awesome tourist.

A spooky look at the ancient underground city of Edinburgh. For real, yo. No photos were allowed inside so I'll let wiki explain it.

Talbot Rice Gallery
You Are Here!
Today was the last day of You Are Here!, a course for international students who would like to get to know the Talbot Rice Gallery. Good times.
A group shot of us exploring the space with our bodies, or something like that.
Yoshiko lying down in the Monika Sosnowska exhibit.
Every Wednesday afternoon we would meet in the gallery and learn and talk and dance and run. I learned that the gallery was formerly a natural history museum and was frequented by Charles Darwin. There was also a pet puma that roamed around before it became a specimen. We wrote storied to go with one of Monika Sosnowka's miniature architectural installations, and made maps of 'our' Edinburgh.

St. Andrew's Day

Until I have, here's a picture of the Lloydies outside the castle. First try!

Comma-phile
While proofreading my final paper for Natural Hazards ('Was the Parkfield earthquake experiment a failure?'), it was brought to my attention that I am a comma-phile. I love that little booger.

Winter-Märchenland
Yesterday (Thanksgiving for you Americans), Edinburgh turned on its Christmas lights. Downtown, next to the train station, a Winter Wonderland is set up. There is an outdoor ice rink, ferris wheel, carousel, and German market (with real Germans!). It was such a crisp (ie freezing), clear night and the lights were beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who made my 21st birthday great. Whether it was a birthday card I wasn't expecting, a great big box to open up, a conspiracy to meet up for dinner, a note on facebook, a one-of-a-kind gift, a colorful oven-mitt (with cupcake print!), a paperback trilogy, or a Scottish keepsake, I enjoyed them all. <3
