in which I finally go traveling
Leaving early tomorrow morning for Edinburgh, along with something like 120 other members of the International Student Society, none of whom I probably know. Oops. There’s no specific schedule other than getting there tomorrow evening, leaving the middle of Sunday, and getting back to UEA at 2 a.m. Monday morning (good thing I don’t have class Monday), so we get to plan things ourselves, something I should’ve done at least a week ago. But I’m hoping to see Edinburgh Castle, and the (free) Museum of Scotland, and the Palace of Hollyrood House, and I’ve already booked a ghost tour of Edinburgh–an evening walking tour of the city’s spooky bits, basically. Sounds like great fun.
The unfortunate thing is that, as usual, I’ve left everything to the last minute, and even though I wanted to be asleep in 30 minutes, I have not actually finished packing. Plus I need to do some other e-mailing and writing and…things. Printing stuff I should’ve known about earlier. You know. But I’m taking my laptop this time, unlike in Great Yarmouth, because…the bus ride is something like ten hours long. I can get only so much done with notebooks, books, and staring out the window. (We’ll see how productive I really am, of course. But having no internet does tend to make me get things done.)
