- I went to see the Scottish Parliment "in action" today. it was so interesting for me to compare the way they approach goverment here to the way we approach goverment. they are so much more open here. the parliment sessions, to watch them, are free. they offer guided tours for 8 pounds of the buildings. the UK parliment, also does tours when parliment is not in session. it is for only a month or so and it costs a bit more but they do. they also televised the Prime Minister Question's every wednesday at noon. they are open and upfront. they call each other on things. in america, goverment is all "hush hush..."i did book a guided tour for 10:20am, but i wont go. i dont really want or need to and my alarm clock situation is a bit tough right now since there are 7 other girls in my room with tons of stuff, so plugging it in is tough. mainly, i dont want to go.
- I booked 3 scotland tours today! one is a day tour and it goes to the west highlands. it focuses on lochs and mountains and scenery, and whiskey too! another one is for 3 days and it goes around scotland, including the isle of skye. they do book your accomondations, but u have to pay upon arrival. still it is worth it. the 3rd is another day tour and it goes to loch ness. the 3 day tour also does go to loch ness but this one focuses on it a bit more. you have the option on going on a cruise on loch ness, it costs extra but i am so doing it! i am so excited!lot of money but so worth it!
- I went to see Angels and Demons tonight....it was SO GOOD!OMG!! it is so good! the ending is so...unexpected and heartbreaking! my heart will never mend.
- I had a vinilla ice cream cone today. it was so so good!
- I had a good day today....
