Scotland Kicks Ass

Well, so far, I've visited the Royal Castle, the Royal Mile, Got so loaded I blacked out and don't remember anything. I've visited Loch Ness, and the Highlands, saw Sean Connery's place, visited the Cafe where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books.

So drunk. I went with my cousins boyfriend Ross who plays in a band. His gig was wicked. I ended up talking to this girl from Rolling Stone Magazine. She was a photographer for the magazine. I also charmed this Girl named Victoria, but I was too loaded.

I'm off to Ireland tonight, to get pissed. I'll post some Scottish slang soon.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Well, I was in Wales today and saw some priory ruins from the 12th century. That bastard King Henry VIII ruined them all. But with no reformation, no protestant church. I'm excited about Scotland, lots of pubs and stuff. Parties. haha. We'll I think I've turned into an Anglo-Catholic. I can't believe it but I think it's true. I am seriously going to think and pray hard about this opportunity. I never in my life dreamed of going to Oxford but its reality now. I'm going to take the train up from London in a few weeks to see the campus. We'll see what's going to happen. When I get home to Canada, I'll post all my pics from the trip.

Oxford

Things are getting weird. I may have an opportunity to go to Oxford for theological school. This is making me quite scared.

London kicks ass!

So I went to church at Westminister Abbey. Never expreinced anything like it in the world and probaly never will. Visited Bakers' Street as I smoked a cigar from Captain Kidd's pub. Saw some famous people along the way, and I went to Picadilly circus. Went to the world's biggest toy store and bougth a Delorean model. got an england soccer jacket pretty cool. Using the underground, not hard at all. .....ah i've done so much i can't remember! Going to Hereford tomrrow....

In London

well, I arrived jet lagged. but i managed to walk all around london anyways. i saw big ben, the parliment westminster abby, and the river thames. today i got up at 600am and took a three hour walk in hyde park. so beautiful. people jogging walking their dogs. lots of swans too. I also saw the Diana memorial fountain and the peter pan statue. really cool. talked to some locals too. So many amazing cars. aston martin's, porches, bmw's and ferarris. i'm getting use to the roads, they drive on the left! today i'm going to the tower of london, and captain kidd's pub. also i'm going to check out baker's street!

keep checking this blog. haha, i'm in a middle eastern internet cafe. its really cool. i'm going to keep my eyes open for madonna! i'm also going to go and see the philadelpha story with kevin spacey in it. should be wicked.

Gone to England

Well, Quebec City was amazing. I hung out with life long friends. The trip up with don and the boys was awesome. Lots of fun. The concert was the most amazing experience of my life. After me and Luke waited outside for over an hour for the band. We met Billie Joe and Tre Cool. I talked about Physics with Tre cool, how weird!!!!!!! We were so cold. We met up with some girls from Quebec city and one girl was really cool. She warmed my hands becuase they were cold. A real cool expereience, she spoke no english and me no french. We just gestured to each other. I spent all morning talking to her on msn....thank god for google translater, it helped out a bit. I really would like to met up with her some day. She seems like a nice person.

So yeah, I'm packed for England, and I am heading to Sackville tomorrow morning...early 6am, a great start to the morning. Tomorrow I am going to buy an acoustic guitar with my friend Luke. I have always wanted to start playing again, and now the time has come. Drinking tomorrow with friends, and then grad activites. I graduate May 9, and I leave May 10. So I won't be blogging much, only if I hit an internet cafe. I talked to my realitives and I've booked my euro planes today online. Passport and luggage in hand I'm off on an adventure of a lifetime. Honestly, I'm not really excited. I'm not sure why, but I know when it gets closer, I will be ready to go. I'm stressed tonight so I am drinking a stronbow. Just kicking back. I still haven't heard from law schools, but I'm optimistic. I'm not worried anymore. Whatever happens, happens. After I get back from England, I can figure out what I want to do.

Anyways, check back to the blog once in a while I may update when I'm there. Take care and talk to you all soon!
