Home at last and new course material...

So, after 40+ hours of travel to get back to Edinburgh, I am finally settled into my new flat. I got in at 9pm on Saturday. Now, what any normal person would do after 40+ hours of travel would be to go straight to bed. However, I am not your average person, I immediately went into the garage and hauled all of my things that had been stored in there for the past month and brought them up to my room. I began unpacking everything and getting my room organized. I felt that I had WAY too much energy to even attempt to go to bed, so I took 3 Melatonin tablets and went to bed about 20 min later. On Sunday morning, I woke up around 9am with the alarm and could barely move I was so tired. I think the no sleep and the Melatonin tablets caught up with me by Sunday morning. I could barely open my eyes. I finally woke up at 1pm but could have easily slept longer, however, I felt that I needed to take what was left of Sunday and do some shopping for groceries. Class started yesterday and we began the nervous system. Now I have to learn the 12 facial nerves for the exam, woohoo! By the way, does anyone know a good acronym to remember the 12 nerves? I'm sure I can come up with one on my own, but was just wondering...

Today, we had three classes and then were finished at noon. I went to the St. James shopping center and purchased myself a new beanie since the weather is so gosh darn cold here. Unfortunately, this new beanie, gives me MAJOR beanie hair... I also purchased a small set of portable speakers for my iPhone so that I can listen to music. It plays VERY well and I can now plug my ambient music in and listen to that while I study. Currently, I am listening to a thunderstorm in a tropical forest (how relaxing...). The nice thing about these speakers is that they are portable. You plug it in and it charges (also charges the iPhone) and then you can unplug it and take it into the kitchen while you cook (which is what I did). Well, I am still awaiting the return of my luggage and hopefully it will be in the next few days. I called British Airways and they have an automated message before you talk to anyone that says something like, "Due to the high volume of cancelled flights, there are a large amount of passengers without their baggage. We are working hard to reunited our passengers with their baggage hopefully within the next few days. Please do not call and ask for a tracking number to track the baggage, as this cannot be done....blah, blah, blah!" So, there was more, but it becomes redundant after a while. I am really hoping that the luggage comes this week, otherwise I will be quite upset. I signed over the loan checks this afternoon, so I am officially a wealthy student again! Yay! Kristen has exams this week up until Wednesday, so I have still not seen her because she really wants to focus on studying. Well, I better return to my wonderful Neuroanatomy lecture notes. Hope everyone is doing well!
