Litzy In Scotland!: First Fish and Chips!

Today was fun, except for the part where i tried to find where my classes are located. I found where most of them are, but the issue is will i be able to find them again? I went to the library to try to buy my text books, but they only had the list for one of my classes which means i wont know what the books are for my other two classes till the first couple days of class, which kind of sucks because its one more thing i have to do. After going to the Library i grabbed some lunch then went back to my room to get ready for the tour at 2.

The tour was pretty cool since it was free haha. Our first destination was a little town outside of Stirling called Dunblane, where we got a quick view of one of the oldest cathedrals in Scotland. It was pretty amazing because its the oldest building i have EVER been in. You don't realize how new everything is in America until you come here. Everything is really old, worn in and quaint. The cathedral was beautiful on the inside; from the giant organ to the stain glass it was a pretty special cathedral. We only had about 20 minutes to walk around and take pictures then we got back on the bus and headed to a monument about some battle with some famous guy. There are so many of them that its hard for me to keep track. But any who i guess it we were where the last battle in Braveheart took place (if you have ever seen the movie you would know i guess). It wasn't very exciting but took a couple of pictures non the less. The last destination was the Castle of Stirling which was very cool. Again we didn't have very long to walk around and check it out but it was good to see where it is and how to get there once we decide to go back. There is a giant cemetery surrounding the castle which looks ancient and i cant wait to go back and find some really old tomb stones.

After the tour we received free drinks and snacks and the President of the University of Stirling welcomed us to Stirling. Emily, Rachel, Kelsey, Kaitlin, Liz and I then walked down the street to the shopping center (aka mall) where i bought another pair of flats and topped up my phone again. We walked up the street and found a little place to buy fish and chips. Note to self: always have a little extra cash and coin on you. A lot of the little pubs and restaurants only except cash. Then we caught a bus back to campus. We were all eating our fish and chips on the bus back, and I'm pretty sure everyone else on the bus was jealous :P

That was pretty much my day. Tonight we are off to a headphone disco where everyone there wears headphones and you chose to listen to one of two DJs who are playing different music. So if you walk in to the disco without headphones it will be silent and look like a bunch of people dancing haha so it will be pretty interesting.

I have my first class tomorrow at 9 and it is in one of the buildings i have never been in so it'll be pretty interesting haha. I plan on getting up at 7 and leaving extra early to find my class, I don't want to look like the dumb American wondering in 5 minutes late.
