I HAVE INTERNET!!  this is from yesterday but I didn't have my internet set up so yet...now that I finally do I'll keep you all informed on my adventures!! yay!

Let me preface this with saying that I was awake yesterday for 35 hours.  Absolutely no sleep.  So, if, this seems a little rough, it's because my already poor skills ae being coupled with an extreme lack of sleep.  Anyways, enough whining, I absolutely love Scotland!  It's the most beautiful place I've ever been to (in my opinion.) This is because there are no sandy beaches with shark/stingray/jellyfish/crazy fish with teeth that will attack you without warning (it does happen).  Also, there are tons of trees here, yea for being and going green!  I've seen a lot of sheep, rabbits, squirrels, swans, ducks, lots of crows and even a fox.  Jealous? I thought so.  I'm surrounded by mountains, and lots of friendly people.  My flatmates are really sweet and fun.  Three of them go to school here year round and are locals.  Emily is from England and is the most outgoing.  The other one (Louise) is from Scotland.  I haven't met Louise yet, but Kerry is also really nice and from England as well. So, we (a bunch of americans) went into the city of Stirling which is about a 5 min bus ride away, to buy an ethernet cord as well as a cell phone.  But I had no luck because everything was pretty much closed.  I did manage to buy some food though (pasta, a lot of it, bread, butter, sauces, and ham and cheese) so I'm not wasting away.  In fact, many of you may be happy to know that the first night we got here we went to and Indian restaurant and I ordered the chicken rogan josh meal.  It was pretty good actually...not quite as good as my McDonald's.  Haven't had that yet...I'm surrounded by mountains and trees and hills and green.  It's gorgeous.  My room is sort of small, but I have my own and there's even a sink in it!  There are two bathrooms, a common area, and a kitchen.  All the people (boys and girls) in my building that I've met so far are very kind and helpful. Okay well there is so much more to write about but right now I have to catch up on my sleep (we all know I sleep a ton) so until tomorrow I'll say Cheers! Which is the way they say goodbye or thanks.
