uhhh glasgow was pretty bomb... i admit, i totally was expecting like, people to run out and cut me just because people kept being like oh ya, glasgow is cool but... it's a lot TOUGHER. you know, a little more ROUGH. blah blah blah "glaswegian smile, in which people cut your mouth at the sides", etc. you know, so basically i came expecting some exciting times. but no, we just looked at some old cathedral and went to the glasgow museum. i mean, it was excellent, and i plan to go back and shop, but there was no cutting of any bitches, unfortch.
uhhh so tuesday sept 18, classes started, and so i had ASIA AND AFRICA 2, and SWEEEEDISH!! (SVENSKA! JAG TALAR EN LITET SVENSKA NU!) um, i was late to both because i couldnt find where the classes were being held, mostly because i am a retard. whatever, thats not awkward or anything. and YO! my asia and africa class is a lecture class!! with ONE HUNDRED PEOPLE!!! its absurd. i've never had a largeass lecture class like that before. so thats.. new. and seriously, i struggle so much just to figure out what the lecturers are SAYING, much less like, take in what theyre talking about. ridic. um, my other class, internet and society, meets on thursdays, and uhhh its pretty lame, im pretty sure i dislike it, but the people are excellent, and maybe once we stop doing lameass 'technology theory' or whatever, it'll get bomb. TIME SHALL TELL!! but YEA OKAY SO ON TUESDAY?? AFTER CLASS? i went to the RUGBY WORLD CUP!!! YES I DID!!!! it was scotland v. romania, and obvvv scotland won. haha it was so great!!! and there were lovely scottish blokes sitting next to us who kept making fun of me and rose bcz we had some angsty moments and got pretty drunk (rose got trashed, actually) off of, wine? yes, wine. and rose just kept being like, GOOO SCOOOTLAND! YA, RUGBY!! but in this really bellig tone. it was so great! she is a good one.
ummm ok, various clubs, pubs, etc. moving on. last saturday our director, tom (cuuutie old scottish man) took us to a play which was a 'thriller!'. it was all modern though and there were heavy accents, so it took me awhile to get into it and actually figure out what was going on and the problem with modern stuff is like, they'll be all disjointed or absurd but its like, supposed to be like that?? and im kind of like well, yo, whats going on? OH IM SORRY, APPARENTLY THATS THE POINT. TO CONFUSE ME. so ya. but it was cool. and i got to wear my sassy new metallic gold tights, so huzzah! um, wait, even better, on sunday... i went to another thriller... that is, THRILLER, LIVE!!!! why yes!! it IS music and dance tribute to the life and works of michael jackson!!! HOW ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL!, you say. i know, i knooow. it was amazing. so i went with blade (bill slade), who is an excellent creature, and unbelievably enough, loves the king of pop EVEN MORE THAN ME!!?! true story! so it was absolutely lovely, and they did all these songs from like, jackson 5 era, on. SO GOOD!!! and people around us were trashed and kept getting up and to try to dance and then would get yelled at by the ushers, but by the end EVERYONE was standing up and dancing and they could not stop us!! and it was SO GREAT!! seriously, i was highly delighted.
umm, okay, so classes continued, whatever. some of us did this like, pub quiz? in hopes of winning 35 quid, but we got 12th out of like, 25, place. damnit. um, im sorry, i was unaware the questions would be about BRITAIN. WTF. so yah, we need to study more. but um, this past friday was GREAT!! about 5 of us went to see this amaaazing orchestra thing called 'the emperor and the firebird', and it was some new modern composers world premier, and then stravinsky, and then beethoven, and emanual ax (something like, best piano player or something? most prominent? i dont know.) did some sassy playing of his own at the end. AND WE WERE SO STONED!! so obv it was incredible, bcz you can SEEEE the magic of the music and yes i was so pleased. haha and there was no one there under the age of like, 65, except us, so they couldnt stand up to applaud but instead decided to just applaud for 3 times the normal length. and the lady to my left kept leaning on my shoulder, and then would jerk up, then 2 minutes later slowly begin to lower herself to my should again. repeat this over the course of 2 hours. thank god i was high. and the lady to my right was dead asleep and occasionally would snore. wtf. but yes, sooo great.
um, so this past saturday, life was glorious, because we went to the HIGHLANDS. yes, the HIGHLANDS. LIKE HIGHLANDERS. how great!!!!! and we passed like, the stirling castle on the way and saw the castle thats in monty python on the way back wheee!!! but yes so we went to comrie and then hiked up some mountain thing and looked at some monument and then it was like oooh look at all the delightful lowlands under us yay! and then we went a little further north and saw the loch earl and these rapids that silly scottish people call falls of something something, because they dont really know what falls are, you see. and then the BEST PART IS!! we saw a highlander 'coo'!!!! aka cow. for those not in the know. and his name was hamish and i love him so much omg. wait i will post a picture, so you can all love him too.
omg dont you want to love him forever? yes you sure do!!! ok and then the day ended perfectly with watching the AMAZING movie, BREAKIN'! which is fab, and obv a precursor to my fav movie, you got served. its fab. everyone should watch it.um, it would have been a BETTER night if some tool fresher boys hadnt pulled the fire alarm in the middle of the movie. assholes. i might cut a fresher before the term ends, and i dont even know if i'd regret that. but uh, yes, on that note, i found a bible study to join for my house. how great!! hahah. hmmm. okay other things: goose, kwok, and rhett are coming hurrr next week!! how wonderful!!! and soon corrie buck will be here!!! glory!!!! and that is it and now i must go do my svenska homework. also, if you all have not gotten skype yet to talk to me you suck and i probably dont want to talk to you anyways. HA HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW?!?!?!
also, i scared a boy from switzerland when talking to chanda in front of him and in reference to kiki stealing my camera, i said 'i'm seriously going to cut that bitch!'. apparently, that ISNT something you commonly hear here. whatever. also, in agreeance with morgans blog, the lack of pedestrian rights here has gotten me nearly killed/aggressively honked at, COUNTLESS times. its painful. does not help that they drive the wrong way. shite. ok loves, and im going to be making a flickr for scotland pics soon, so STAY TUNED.
love!!!
