It's my birthday!

But first yesterday. I woke up at 7:30 ish to meet up with julia and two other girls. We took the bus into stirling and walked to Stirling Castle, where we spent the whole morning just exploring. And I got some delicious ice cream with a flake bar in it from the ice cream man outside the castle. Then i had to head back because i had class at one. It was my scottish history class and I don't know much about scottish history, but i found I could answer some stuff just based off of the knowledge i had learned from being at the castle earlier. That was mostly and James V and we were talking about his son James VI.

Anyways afterwards I went to the library with sarah so I now have three books on Scottish history and then I sat around for a bit waiting for vinny to get back so we could eat and go to Tesco. However he got back and we found out that a group was going hiking, so we were like sure lets go. Stupid us, we all thought it would be an hour hike maybe and not too difficult. well we started going up this 45 degree (we called it) incline an

d so the group ending up splitting in two. I was in the back group. Eventually we go off that hill and onto a road that lead to a series of hills and mountains, that we decided to walk on. In the end we ended up walking up to the top of a mountain, which was pretty crazy seeing as we made it our goal to get there by the end of the trip because we thought we were gonna give up earlier.

Along the way we ran into several furry friends:

We came back absolutely exhausted. They all ordered pizza while I ate some Mac and cheese i had around. Then I headed to bed.

MY BIRTHDAY!

Today I woke up to the cleaning crew coming into strip our beds and make them again and clean the flat. So Annie Vinny and I all sat in the common area bleary eyed and eating our breakfast. Then I got ready to go to class. I had both of the classes today, so I was in the same room for three hours , but it was good. Came back found the the ISS had left us our first "taste of Britain" Just a little british snack they do every week , it was shortbread, yum. Anyways so now I am waiting for Annie to get back so we can go to Tesco to get some supplies and maybe a dessert for my birthday, I'm not sure what else we are doing. We might go out for dinner so we will see. We have to get up super earlier tomorrow, as in we have to be on a bus at 7:45, we are going to St. Andrews for the day.
