holla!!
you know, one of the coolest things about scotland is how they greet each other. instead of saying the normal "hello" or "good day," people here say "holla" and proceed to slap hands.

anyways, so i'm in scotland. i've only been here about a day and a half, but i must say that i am loving it so far. the weather is a very nice refreshment from the mugginess of sugar land, even with the rain. 55 degree weather in the "summer"? happy birthday to me.

so i got here pretty much without a problem. slept, watched movies, and read my textbook on the 9-hour plane ride from houston to london. the 2nd flight, from london to edinburgh, was about 1/2 an hour, so that was nice.

everything here is rather on the expensive side. apparently, as i found out at the airport, the business law program that i am a part of does not provide any meals. yay. so alan, tina, and i have spent about a total of about $60 buying groceries, which will HOPEFULLY last at least a week and a half. i get to learn how to cook my own food! =)

my dorm room is more like an apartment. it's 2 stories, with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen. a LOT better than i expected, to say the least.

well, right now, i'm at an internet cafe about 3 minutes away from my dorm. we get a tour of the university tomorrow, including the whereabouts of the 24-hour computer lab, so i probably won't be here very often.

lala..let's see, what else..

EM ileee936: tina said its really cold haha
mok says: tina's a wimp.

if you didn't know already. haha jk..but it's definitely funny seeing how much of a clean freak she is. i'm gonna do my best to make as big of a mess in our flat as i can. first thing she says when she walks into her room: "we need to go grocery shopping. i need LYSOL."

sigh. hopefully i don't return home like her. =X

alright guys. my time's running out, and i don't want to pay another 50 pence for another 1/2 an hour. gonna go to some sports pub to watch the championship game for the european cup =)

payce.

(oh btw, i was kidding about the whole "holla" thing. although that WOULD be pretty cool.)
