Back to the Burgh!

Hey all! Well I am back in Edinburgh and started class yesterday. Saturday and Sunday were very long days for me for traveling, but I finally made it back. The flight to Washington DC was 4 hours with a 3 hour layover when I got there. I then flew 7 hours to London Heathrow and when I arrived, they had moved my original flight and scheduled it 5 hours later! So I was stuck at Heathrow for 5 hours and I was VERY sleepy! There was nothing to do in the terminal that I was in either, so I just walked around looking at a book shop and an electronic store. I used to be able to send messages using the computers in the electronic shops, but they have since gotten rid of the wifi so that people cannot come in and use the internet. I couldn't message anyone because I had used up all of my laptop battery on the first flight and I had forgotten to include a UK adapter in my bag for my laptop. Oh well.

I finally heard my flight being called to gate 8c. I walked over to the gate and boarded the little plane. It took an hour to fly to Edinburgh, but felt like 10 min because I dozed off for a good chunk of the flight. It's amazing how much faster the takeoff feels on a smaller plane. After arriving in Edinburgh, I got to the baggage area and was waiting for my bag...and waiting...and waiting. I was sure that my bag was going to be delayed because I had flown through DC. So I went to baggage claim to have them check for my bag and there was no one there. I went back to the baggage belt and there was a BMI guy there. He pointed me in the direction of the customs baggage claim because I had started outside the UK and my bag wasn't on the other belt. Low and behold, there was my bag! It was the only bag left on the customs belt. I grabbed it, got on the Airlink bus and made my way home.

Monday morning I woke up after getting 11 hours of NEEDED sleep and headed off to class. Now, I have 3 weeks of lectures in Neurology and Respiratory, have 1 week of revision and then exams. Then, on June 1st I will be back home to start my Summer vacation! Can't wait! I hope all is well with everyone and I will post some new pictures just as soon as I get a chance.
