The 15th was British Sarah's birthday so we went to this amazing Indian food restaurant and had a blast. The wait staff brought us out a carrot cake just for the table, not just a slice of cake like in most restaurants. And they didn't charge us for it! The meal was overall much cheaper than any of us thought it would be. Very nice!
So i gave a presentation in my Africa class that went very well. Mostly, i just tore apart the authors i was supposed to read and their arguments. Theories and Discontents are actually really paying off for me right now because of how much they made me analyse arguments. Never thought i'd say that about Discontents, but hey...i'll own up. My paper for that class isn't coming along so well, but i think i've finally figured out what exactly my question is so i can focus my research more. i'm really very excited for it now that i've figured out what i'm going to talk about.
Had to give a presentation in history as well which also went much better than i thought it would. It's not so hard as i originally thought it would be and i'm surprised every time by how well it goes off.
i had dinner at Vittoria's the other night with my program. It was rather nice and kinda posh. The food was very good, but too expensive for me for a normal meal. It was nice to have a treat though.
A bunch of us went to a pub for dinner last night because Ellie and i were at a movie for her class and people waited for us to eat. Unfortunately (yeah right), the movie went longer than we thought and we all missed dinner at JMC. i finally had bangers and mash! i've been waiting to have that since i got here, and i finally had it last night. It was gloriously cheap and also amazingly good. So worth the wait!
Went to a club for some girl's birthday a couple of nights ago. i didn't actually know the girl, but it didn't really matter. Alice and i tried shots of chili vodka, but they weren't spicy enough so we asked the bartender to make us some with tabasco in them. We finished them and the bartender said he would give us free ones if we would do it again. It was absolutely hysterical. They weren't that bad really should you get the chance to try it. Spicy, but i've had stronger before.
We've been having library parties every couple of nights this last week. It's been rather fun. We get a lot of work done, but we're also goofing off a bit. It makes it so much easier to work really, when you know that everyone else you're with is working and there will be a quick break in a few minutes when someone throws a pencil at you or brings out a bag of chocolate. i think we're having another one today and the reward if we work hard for a long time will have to be a bratwurst from the continental market that's happening on prince's street this week.
Speaking of the continental market, should you be in Edinburgh when they're having the market, i highly recommend that you go. There were a bunch of stalls with the most spectacular food. i'm pretty sure they had purses and stuff like that as well, but i wasn't really paying attention to that part. There were crepes, dutch pancakes, turkish kebabs, german sausages, french cheeses, sicilian cookies....sooooo much good food. Ellie and i traveled down there and explored it earlier this week.
Not much else important stuff. Just chillin really. Gettin excited for spring break. Love and peace y'all.
