Roots are Down

 

Hello, hello! My apologies for being quiet, I've been settling in here. I figured today would be the best day to post because it is pretty much the first day of me being completely alone. Said goodbye to the fam earlier and well, it went just about as you expect... Tears and the last desire for them to take me with them. It is was it is though. This is life now and I've come to accept that slowly throughout the day.

My flat mates are pretty cool. There's only one guy that none of us really like but besides that we're all on the same page. And let me tell you, when it rains in Scotland, IT RAINS. We spent two weeks here with sunshine and rainbows. Not a single drop fell from the sky but the 2nd day in my flat and a monsoon came down upon us. No word of a lie, our flat flooded. Water began flooding in through the back door and we all went running outside to go get our supervisor. Next thing we knew, roofs were apparently falling across campus, people were scrambling to evacuate a restaurant

and we were moping and damning up our kitchen. We got the best of it though, compared to others. But the night went on until almost two in the morning and none of us could actually get a good night sleep due to the fact that we were all afraid that rain was going flood in through the roof. It didn't know though, so we all lost a good night of sleep with no meaning whatsoever. 

But so far it has been pretty good. I've got my eye on some clubs here at school. I think I'm going to go to the true crime club or maybe the creative writing club.

I'm pretty up in the air about that but I know for a fact which sport societies I'm using. And that is the hill walking club and the badminton club. Costs an arm and leg to join but the first hike is coming up this Sunday! I'm freaking out a little because looking at the pictures, their definition of 'hill walking' is a little bit more like 'extreme hill walking'. So we will see where that goes but you know what, I want to push myself. I want to explore this country and see the Highlands and that is what I am going to do. Quote me on it, I dare you.

But the pictures I have gotten here are insane, seeing what the country looks like is fantastic. Everything is so old and from our dorm we can see the Wallace monument. I think after everything, the Wallace monument is my favourite. It's just so big and seeing it everyday when I walk around campus is just so amazing. I cannot express how happy I am to be here but deep down I am still scared.

One good thing is that I think I have a job lined up? It's not

confirmed but me and the fam went to an escape room during our first days here. It took place in the literal jail that was used here for centuries. But the nice lady there is selling me her bike in November and well, she's moving to Alberta! So after talking, I just randomly asked if they were hiring and these two people got really excited. The other was a man with a sick ass moustache. Anyhow I wrote down my details and I have all the intention of going into town on Monday or Tuesday (Once my bank card arrives) and deliver the CV. I just... I do really want the job. It's pretty much just acting everyday and it would be so good for me. It's a tourist spot too so like the people are gonna be so amazing there. I could talk to people. I am trained for this. WOO. Okay I'm happy so I'm going to leave it there before I get sad again. NIGHT
