Freideg, 12 Februar.
I have to say: one of the perks of being a teacher -- or, to be more specific, of being an assistant teacher on a yearlong Fulbright grant -- is the holidays. When your students are out of school, so are you!
When the stars aligned and my high school went on break just as the university semester finally ended, I took advantage of my week of vacation to visit my friend -- and Kappa Delta little-little -- Rachel in Scotland, where she is studying for a semester at the University of St. Andrews. We spent a week bouncing around Scotland, based first in the capital city of Edinburgh and then in the picturesque town of St. Andrews.
I stayed for a total of three days in Edinburgh, one of which was spent on a bus trip through the Scottish Highlands. (More on *that* incredible experience later.) What an amazing place! And although Rachel and I spent most of our time traipsing through the city with that unflagging enthusiasm that only American tourists seem to possess, I feel as if we might not have even come close to scratching the surface of what this beautiful city has to offer.
