Classes start on Monday. Went out Friday to celebrate a girl on my floor's 21st birthday. We were told of an Irish tradition, where on her birthday, a girl must sit and receive however many kisses she is old. Attached is a picture Vanessa and the 21 men lined up. Went shopping along Union Street and took some pictures of downtown Aberdeen. Also I have a video of Barra trying to teach some folks an Irish jig of sorts.

Here are some more photos. My first kilt sighting was today, and is documented here. Most pictures are of Old Aberdeen Campus and Seaton Park. I have to walk through Seaton Park to get to campus. It's very beautiful, but apparently very dangerous. Everyone has been advised not to walk through it, even in groups. But I decided to risk life and limb to bring you the pictures above. Also, the first photo is for Cindy.

Arrived Saturday. Very tired. So far, I've only made an idiot out of myself twice. Once for confusing the electric kettle in my room for an iron and once for asking what a "queue" was in reference to clubbing. Met lots of people and trying very hard not to forget their names. Here are some pictures of the Manchester airport, my room, and one of Kirsty, my neighbor to the right.

Leave Saturday. Very excited. Must learn how to download pictures from camera. Attempting to pack three months of hair product into one bag. More interesting posts to come.
