Time sure flies when you are having fun! We have been here for 3 weeks now and we all feel so comfortable in our new city!

I have gone to some great shows with the program and on my own with my flatmates. We have seen different types of shows, ranging from musicals, operas, and dramas. My personal favorite was Monty Python's Spamalot, which I went to see with my flatmates. It was such a great performance! The audience was roaring and the actors were loving their roles. I like it when the actors know something is funny and get so caught up in laughing they have to stop. That happened a few times and it made the play for me. We got to sit in the second row a discounted price because we were students. That is one thing that I really like about this city. They give good student discounts at a lot of stuff.

This weekend my flat went to Scotland. my favorite that we saw was Rosslyn chapel. It was so beautiful and had so much history. There were so many different carvings and statues all over the walls and surrounding areas that all have different meanings. Walking around the grounds made me feel a profound sense of awe for what people have made hundreds of years ago that still stands today. The work that the people of Scotland are putting into this structure to preserve it is amazing. They have had a tent covering it for over 10 years to restore the building from mold. Even with scaffolding around it, Rosslyn chapel is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen! We had some gorgeous weather for our visit as well. Instead of the forecasted rain all day, it only rained for a little bit in the morning and was sunny all afternoon!
