Alive.

I'll save a long and involved post for when I finally have internet in my room, but right now a short library recap will do.

1. I am alive and safe in Edinburgh. The sun is nowhere to be found, but there are clouds and precipitation aplenty.
2. Since a breakfast of fruit salad and half a croissant on the plane at 6am (my time) yesterday, I have eaten nothing but 2 packages of peanut butter sandwich crackers and 2 Twizzlers. I have to go to the mini-Tesco in front of my flat today, probably just to buy cereal and milk. I have nothing with which to cook anything else.
3. My flatmate is Russian. This is hilarious, but probably only to me.
4. I am trying to decide if it is worth the effort of making friends, when I have no money to go out and do anything anyway. Right now, I am exceptionally bored, but that's mostly because my internet isn't set up yet.
5. I missed a class today because I couldn't figure out what room it was in. Both the internet and the board outside the department office were wrong. Off to a great start, academically. Hopefully, I have better luck with the other class that I have today.
6. I slept from approximately 6pm last night until 11am this morning, with about an hour in the middle of waking up and not being able to fall back to sleep.
7. I am of the opinion that I look like I belong in this city. Or else, everyone here looks sort of like me. It's brilliant.
8. I've been called "love" and had someone say "cheers" because I held the door. Being surrounded by Scottish accents is awesome.
9. I actually walk too slowly for most of the people here, who are always hurrying to get out of the weather. It's a new and different sensation. I'm not sure that I can walk faster than I do.
10. I promise pictures next time around, as long as the sun comes out at some point. Or I can stand outside without getting soaked. Whatever comes first.

Okay, I should try to find my other class now. Cheers.
