*THIS IS CRAZY LATE*

Like 2 nights ago, I had a dream that I was playing capoeira on the beach with the Hooligans and some new people. There was a bass behind me who I considered kidnapping and forcing him to sing for us. The boyfriend was lookin' dapper in his capoeira pants, and we both snuck off to the closet, like it was routine. There was also that woman from the Progressive commercials there and a blonde version of AC. It was easily the most vivid dream I've ever had.

I miss America, but not to the extent I will.

Anyway, the next morning we went to Edinburgh Castle and got a walking tour. The guy was obviously experienced in these things, because I passed him about an hour later and he was saying the exact same thing. I broke off from the group and started walking down the royal mile. I stopped in the Elephant Cafe, where there was a ridiculous line and an American in front of me who wouldn't stop asking what "treacle" was.

I was about to sit in the place where J.K. Rowling sat when she wrote the first Harry Potter book, with Edinburgh castle in the foreground, because I am that much of a nerd.

The annoying American sat in the seat I wanted to sit in. Grumblegrumble. I shouldn't call her annoying--I'm being mean. What I should say is, this--don't start a conversation with a barista when the line is out the door and people are sighing impatiently. I then chatted with Rebecca the North Carolinian about how much we miss our boys, and then I registered for class. I changed it so I don't have to make a mad dash for the old college ten minutes after I get out of the new college. They call schedules timetables here.

Two suitemates went to the Ceilidh, while me and Rachel (from Holland!) stayed home. We talked about what it was like to live medically (Callie: stroke is Rachel: Chronic Lyme Disease) and bonded. I then met her Indian friend who told me about their awesome houses in Stirling. Boyfriend? Maybe. I dunno.

I completely forgot about international day, but I'm cool with that. I also lost my freshers guide. Sadness. But I can borrow Julie's anytime, and--OOH! Need to make a calendar.

I'm gonna go to Teviot tonight and socialize, something I came here to do.
