Edinburgh, Day 17


I have eaten a sick number of clementines in the last three days. It's getting worriesome. I might call a doctor soon if I can't stop myself. This whole blog is basically going to be an exercise in stream of consciousness, aka all of the stream of consciousness-like thoughts I've had all day that I feel like sharing with you fine people...
I had an amazing lecture this morning. We're discussing the crusades in my Islamic History class and one of the world's leading scholars on Muslim perspectives of the crusades, Carol Hillenbrand, came and lectured to my class this morning. It was amazing! She made a wheetabix reference and managed to tell off someone on the radio (hypothetically, of course) for stealing her thought process from the last chapter of her book. Tres amusant.
Hindusim was boring. Enough said.
Ooer! Then I went grocery shopping. Here's a hint... if you have to carry your groceries home 8 blocks, don't buy tons of heavy stuff! On the plus side I got these really cute eco-friendly tote bags to carry my groceries home in from now on. That was exciting! And I bought garlic at the store that neither smelled or tasted like garlic. In fact it didn't smell or taste like anything. It was weird...
Ah well, now I'm attempting to read for my seminar on Friday, but keep getting distracted by BONES! Hodgins just made a dead fish milkshake. Eeew. Ally was probably eating when this aired. So yeah, that's about it for the day folks. Ps, isn't my city pretty?
Miss you and love you,
M
