Settling in

This is a mural in Edinburgh Castle that depicts all of the Scottish rulers. Right after I took this photo, someone else got scolded by one of the guards for taking pictures near the crown jewels. So, I guess I was lucky!

This is the view from the top floor of my flat.

Here are a few photos of the kitchen I share with three other girls. Two of my flatmates are American (from NYC and CA) and the other is from Dijon, France.

And here is my room! It's small, but there's a big window that lets in the sun-- when the sun happens to be out.

I've had all of my classes at least once now, and I've already got sooo much reading to do by the end of the week. But there isn't nearly as much writing as I'm used to; at Allegheny, sometimes I wrote an essay or two a week. Here, I really only have two papers for each class, both worth a large percentage of my grade.
I went to my first choir rehearsal today and found myself singing with a Scottish accent, since everyone else was!
