Back at Oxford

Scotland was awesome guys. Probably my favorite stop on this entire trip thus far.

There was a hill called Arthur's seat outside our hostel in Edinburgh (and when I say hill I mean it was a couple hundred meters tall, so it was a big hill). Emily and I climbed it the day we got there and had a great view of the city and everything else in the area, since there weren't any trees up there on the hill. If I had to say, climbing it was my favorite single thing thus far. haha.

I'd probably go back if it weren't for the train ride. It's a seven hour ride from Oxford to Edinburgh, and as I mentioned in my last post, we had to get on the train pretty early in the morning in order to get there with enough time for it to be worthwhile. So Emily and I caught the 4 AM train out of Oxford to London, and then a 7 AM train from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. I tried to sleep on the train a bit, but wouldn't you know that a screaming baby got on the train and sat right in front of me. So I went those two days on about 2 hours of sleep. Awesome.

We also went to visit Edinburgh castle, then spent a few hours in a Scottish Pub later on at night. We walked about 3 miles to visit another castle the next morning, and then we went back to Oxford.

So I'm back at Oxford right now. This is Midterms week, so I've been pretty busy trying to get work done. I get my Psychology Midterm to take home tonight, and then my British Poetry test is tomorrow afternoon. Both are essay tests. Awesome.

But tonight I'm going to visit my family in London for dinner (they've been over here in Europe for about 3 weeks now, along with my dad on a business trip).

Hope everything is going well with you guys.
