3. Day One!

Got in at 10am (here time), forgot to sleep on the plane, decided I couldn't take it at 7:30pm and called it a night, woke up at 11pm wide awake. fml. Soo here I am.. I didn't want to make a post yet without a picture but I had a lot of thoughts on today.

Scotland is exactly as I had imagined it. There's SO much green and scenery. I live near the Edinburgh Castle and the University. Didn't do much today, but walked around and just as you would expect, saw plenty of men in kilts and constantly heard bagpipes coming from an unknown source. Also ran into my first Scottish street show---man plays with fire. The city seems so lively. I like it. Things aren't as expensive here as I thought they'd be.

Met some flatmates today. I have my own room! Share a kitchen and living room. Might go to Oktober Fest in 2 weeks!

I have to admit, I am homesick. Mommy sick.

Don't get me wrong, VERY EXCITED to finally be here. Scotland has been in my plans since my senior year of HS.. however, the only comfort my soul has right now is knowing that the same God is sovereign here as well... annnnd calling my family more in one day than I ever have in my life.

Pictures next post! Promise!

SixPENCE none the richer,
