Getting to Scotland...

After all of this planning, I am finally here! I can’t believe I will be living in this beautiful city amongst castles for 5 months! It was a long flight, but I was entertained by a movie, food, walking around, nap…then another movie, more food, I’d walk around, then try to take a nap… and the girl sitting next to me went to Portland State and was going to Spain for the semester, so we had plenty to chat about! When I arrived in the Amsterdam airport, I went over to my gate and was excited that I was going to be in Edinburgh in less than 2 hours! But much to my surprise (5 minutes before I boarded the plane) I find out that the flight is not going due to the weather! So to make a long story short, everyone was shocked about what had happened and I soon made friends with some students of Napier Edinburgh University that were heading to Edinburgh as well (including one of my flat mates). We hung out together on the airport for the next 12 HOURS and tried not to go insane! We then traveled together on a plane to Glasgow, took an hour bus ride to the Edinburgh Airport, than a taxi ride to the flat! I was really tired by then, but was so excited to look around. The city was beautiful and very peaceful with the new snow.
