So this weekend was perhaps one of the best weekends I've had since I've been here. First, I found a small tea shop that sells all kind of loose teas that are delicious. This tea shop also makes fresh scones and aerves them with double Devon cream and strawberry preserves. Kristen and I went for brunch on Saturday and it was very busy but worth the 15 min wait for a table. I purchased a caddy of popcorn tea (green tea and toasted rice). It is called popcorn tea because apparently during the toasting process of the rice, some of the rice grains pop and end up looking like small pieces of popcorn. It is such a good tea. I may buy some other types this week. I also found a steeping pot which makes me very happy because I can now make my tea that I like so much.
After the brunch, I had it on the agenda that I would purchase some new shirts (since my baggage still hadn't arrived). So I went to H&M and there was an awesome sale where shirts were £5 and sweaters were £10. I got a few shirts and a sweater and am going to make British Airways reimburse me for them since it is their fault I was in need of clothes. Later on in the day, I received a call on my phone that was an unknown number and I immediately thought it was the courier with my bags. Well, I had been right and it was the courier calling to make sure I would be home. So I confirmed the address and when he arrived, there was only one bag! However, the bag that he arrived with was the bag that held all of my clothes, so there weren't many complaints from me in that aspect... The second bag continues to be traced but it will probably turn up in the next couple of days. At least I have all of my clothes now. I put all of my shirts in my closet last night and wow, do I have a lot of shirts. I never realized how many I had. Well, I did also come back with 5 new shirts, but still, I now have an entire closet that is full.
Yesterday I went to South Queensferry with Kristen and walked around the small town for a couple of hours and took some great pictures of the Forth Bridge. I will post some pictures when I am home. I am currently in the library typing this on my iPhone. We ate at this small restaurant that had the best nachos I have ever had in my life! They were more like gourmet nachos. I also had a mocha that was very good. The restaurant was right on the water and was beautiful. Afterwards, we waited at the trainstation and went home. Currently, I am in the library working on neuroanatomy. I have to purchase the neuro book today and start Reading that. I think neuro is going to be the hardest but most interesting. Well, I better get back to studying, hope everyone had a great weekend!

You typed all of that on your Iphone?
Really? Sounds like a great weekend, and you and Kristen are making up for lost time. Where's the pics? Hope your other baggage arrives soon.
I can't wait to get there and do some more exploring myself. Woo Hoo!
How is neuroanatomy going? And clinicals? Call on skype today!
