It has been a while since my last blog, and will probably be longer still till the next.
Since last time, life has slowly been getting back to normal.
Subjects have finally be sorted (which was a massive kerfuffle in its self)
I am doing: Maths and Statistics, Operations and Project Management, and Men and Masculinities....don't ask me why I'm doing the last subject (which is a sociology subject) but i am....it confuses me too....
I feel like I have barley anything to do here. with only 13 contact hours a week, my days consist of uni/baking/gym/movies. So, because I feel that my time in Scotland should be taken advantage of, last night I joined the choir. Call me a geek, but I really loved it. Considering last year I practically gave up singing, I hadn't realised how much I had missed it. It was strange how something like that can somehow feel like it fills you up inside. The people there were lovely too, and I'm glad to say that I'm trying to immerse myself in the culture. And so, on that note....after choir we went to the pub (as you do in Scotland after EVERYTHING!!) I really didn't realise how multicultural Scotland is. So many people from Strathclyde are from overseas.
I met a man from Sweden who told me that it was free for someone of the EU to come to Scotland to study. I was shocked. (I wish we had that back home!)
Yesterday mum told me that they were planning on coming up during the Easter holidays. I'm really excited, although it's possibly made me miss home more. During the last week the feelings of homesickness have most definitely set in, and being told that I could see the people I miss, but have to wait ages to do so is rather taunting.
I didn't think life would be like this, being away from home. It's strange, I have all the opportunities to go out, drink, stay out till early morning, but have no want for it.
Maybe I am an 80year old woman trapped in a 19year old's body, I'm not quite sure yet. But until I decided, I shall continue my journey down Scotland's merry lane.
