next couple of days

So I opened the shades to my room the next morning and bam there was a huge castle on a hill. Have no idea how I missed that, because that thing was huge also elevated like 250 feet above the roofs of the buildings. Any ways I met alot of other Americans in my group then very qickly forgot half their names, but they didnt forget mine which made it even more fantasic for me (sarcasm). Had some intro stuff, bla bla bla welcome to Edinbirgh everyone one loves you that type of deal. Then after that fun filled sesson the whole study abroad group went on a bus tour of Edinburgh. The tour guide was naturaly wearing a kilt which was awesome made me want to go buy one, but he was also a comedian slipping comments in there, telling us about completly abstract things not having with Scotland at all. But generally it was a good tour learned some things, like Scotland is the only country in the world not to have coca cola be its top selling soft drink. the top selling soda is called Iru Bru and is a mix of bubble gum and orange soda, its not bad after a while, pretty good.
The study abroad program also had a Scottish parliment member too come and talk to us. I thought he was a bit of a downer cause he was trashing the nationalist partyof Scotland. Which i thought was in Bad taste specialy because the nationalist party are just very much patriots of their country, but what ever politions are not normally the friendliest of types. That night of corse hit the bars again. Tried my Scotish acceint with the bar tenders which was more or less mumbling, pointing to taps and prettending I know what the money was that I was handing over. I dont know if my accent was any good or if I am just a give away as an American because everyone was staring at me. It wasnt that i feel evrone is looking at me it was that people were on the edges of the chairs around the corners of the bar staring blankly at me, maybe thats a good thing (most likly not). But my nights ended about 12pm each night do to the greatness of jet lag
