OK folks - my stomach is really not appreciating Scottish "cuisine." Maybe more than you want to know at this point in our "relationship" - but I am reduced to eating only what I really KNOW and it must be PACKAGED. What a long strange trip it's been down the road of adjusting to other countries...and the fun has only just begun!!! My roommates think I have some bizarre stomach disorder - or I'm bulimic. I'm certain of it...
The "little ironies" comment may be lost on many, but I'm studying Comparative United States & British Constitutional History here in bonny Scotland, and one of my classmates sent me this ARTICLE from the Washington Post today about the Senator from NY acting like Oliver Cromwell and it was terribly appropo. I found it to be HILARIOUS. It simply fits well with what we're studying. The visual of this calamity running around the floor of the Senate was more than I could handle...too funny.
Well, the professor smiled on us today and practically handed us the final. He really outlined what he is looking for in this paper and I can't even begin to articulate how grateful I am. Even if that means I need to delete 4 pages of what I wrote. At least I know that I'll be on the right track. Super helpful. Today I was also musing on how easily and quickly I adjusted to unemployment - I'm not freaking out about money (yet!) or anything. I'm just enjoying the ride at this point. This week I decided I "needed" one non-school book. I bought Bertrand Russell's "In Praise of Idleness" and I'm really enjoying it. It speaks to me. I might adopt some of it as my life philosophy!!!
