Friday night to end our adventures we all went to the William Wallace pub, for a relaxing night jsut sitting and talking (and maybe doing a little ceilidh dancing from what we remember the night before.
7/9
Woke up finished packing and getting our of my room while that cleaning ladies prepared for block two. On my way out I ran into a girl who was going to be staying at the same hostel I was and so her (Laura), Rebecca and I decided to bomb around for the day together. They went to the Wallace Monument while I got breakfast, and then we just wandered around Stirling. We went to this cute kinda hidden away cafe for lunch. We tried to go to the church of the Holy Rude but it was closed. Then we decided to go see a movie, so we saw Green Lantern which was really good. Then Laura and I went back to the hostel, had dinner and got settled in. Later I went downstairs to sit in the common area and read or do a crossword, but everyone was watching Braveheart so I have now seen half of that movie.
7/10
Laura and i met up with a bunch of people from school and went to the Stirling Highland games. It was a bit of an adventure getting there but it was a lot of fun. We saw some of the same things I saw at the Aberdeen higland Games, but they also had two border collies that herded ducks, and Scottish Terrier Racing. (not scottish terrier like my dog, but Terriers (Jack Russell?) from Scotland. Then I headed back to meet up with Karlita at the Med for one last meal, but unfortunately it was packed and we got cut so they couldn't make my nachos in time, so I left and ran to McDonalds to get food fast and get on the train to Glasgow. In Glasgow I eventually made it to my hostel and stayed there for six hours. This hostel was nice and I was in a room with about 10 other girls who were all very friendly and we all talked a bit about different things before falling asleep.
7/11
Woke up at 4:30 left the hostel, got lost, eventually made it to the bus stop to take a shuttle to the air port. I had my last Irn Bru before I got on the plane. =( The Flight to Newark was uneventful, watched Enchanted and tried to sleep- didn't work. My plane out of Newark got delayed by two hours, so i sat in the airport playing solitaire and doing crosswords. But our captain on the way home sped a little bit so we got home only and hour and a half late. Finally got home around seven to find out we didn't have power, and that it was really hot and humid (as i had been used to 50-60 degree weather) and I went to sleep when the sun went down then as I was utterly exhausted.
Anyways it was a really great trip and a great experience. I loved Studying at the School and being able to explore the country at the same time.
