Time of My LIFE

So. I am in love. It's literally as simple as that. I think the best way for you to get a glimpse of how Im feeling is to go with me through today's events. Let me break it down for you. First I woke up in a very comfy warm slightly intoxicated ball under my cave of blankets. I got ready and made it to class on time, unlike SOMEONE I KNOW!!! Travel mate. I took my Evian water bottle with me, to start the detoxification process. Which I'm not making that up to be funny, on the bottle it literally gave me that piece of advice. It says "Detox with Evian!" and I really hope that means "to get better from the alcohol that is still rapidly making its way through your blood stream" and not just to drink water for healthy reasons. Otherwise Im picking up on a little much of the Pub culture here. I had a wonderful classtime today because it was my American Politics lecture. Not only does my professor both look and sound like Jude Law, but he is SO funny. He has an attention deficit disorder I think, which makes class all the more exciting! Today he was talking about the polling results in Houstan when he suddenly broke off and told the class this story: "When you go to the states, make sure you have comprehensive medical insurance, enough to cover major injuries. I once had a friend who was riding her motorcycle and enjoying the scenery when she rode off a cliff. She only fell six feet and lived, but she now owes 52,000 dollars." That was a very intense/graphic story for me at 10 in the morning. After class I came home and I considered working out. Did not. I considered reading for class. Did not. So I did the next best thing and went exploring. Today I got to see the Glasgow Cathedral (which is right outside my bedroom window), St. Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art, and the Glasgow Necropolis!! Look at my picts on fb, theyre absolutely fantastic. I felt very explorational and artistic. The Necropolis was a maze to get around. It's centered on a really big hill that just keeps winding and winding around until you reach the top and can see quite aways off through Glasgow city center. Any way, at one point I was on a path and decided to turn and go left because that hill was going up. I walked up the hill for about two minutes and I was somehow winding back down, which was really weird and mind boggling. It turns out I needed to take the other path that was leading down, to get up. New concept. At one point I just got off the path and started climbing the hill. But I know that must have been a sight. Here I am in the middle of a great and ancient cementary climbing up the side of this mountain right by people's graves. Made it to the top though. After the Necropolis I wondered into the St. Mungo's Museum of Religious Life and Art. It was a little scandelous for me! But it was interesting to see traditions and so forth of other cultures. Plus I took a really funny picture of a smiling mummy for my mummy! I came home after my walking and sight seeing adventure all prepared to take a nice long nap. However, as soon as I closed my little eyes the phone rang and Katie and I decided to go expore this thing I like to call shopping. I found and purchased a dress for one pound, thats thrifty. Got some groceries. Cooked a potatoe in the microwave. Made some hot chocolate. Ate a little honey by the tablespoon. Well! That pretty much concludes my wonderful day of exploring and good fun. I will not be making an appearance at international pub night this evening! Sad but Wise. Im restoring my energy for Valentines Day tomorrow and a group date (yea!!!) on Friday. Last night two of my flatmates, Carrie and Aimee, and myself went to a friend's birthday party and then to the Union for a little dance dance celebration. All in all, it was a good night. Im in love with a mountain man, think "men in trees" (show) like. It's all been busy busy busy, so hopefully it'll continue! Happy Valentines Day tomorrow!!!!
