DUH NUH NUH NUH, DUH NUH NUH NUH-NUH

The countdown of how long I have left in Edinburgh begins.

I never thought I would get to this point. Well, of course I knew that time does in fact move forward, and that I would eventually find myself partway through a revelation that I'm going to miss this place. I said it. I love this place now. It took me months to say it, and now this is in my top five cities in the world. On the fifth of december.

I've had pleasant experiences lately--going to a carol service with my flatmates, hanging out more with various friends. I didn't make the friends I thought I would make here, but that's okay. A majority of my friends are other Americans. I am no better at faking a scottish accent than I was back home,before I came. The only real change is my views on California (it's the most amazing place in the world), and my pants are a little tight. It seems all the weight I've gained is in the past month--let's hope that it falls off as quickly as it adhered itself to my body. If not, I'll be a little stressed, but then I'll have a gym to go to. And capoeira to attend etcetc.

I went to the German market twice now--once with flatmate Canada, another time with Dillon. I made soup that wasn't terrible and finished it today. My mission--to finish ALL of the food I bought already, and not to go to Tescos until every last oat, lentil, and grain of rice is gone.
