Today was our last full day. 
We started the day by going to the fish market. I hate fish. I mean, the texture, smell, taste, everything about fish I just do not like. To my surprise, it wasn’t all fish. There was fruit and vegetables and even clothes and what sounded like a cool church but was in fact a band which consisted of old men wearing leather trousers. That sounds terrible but they were actually hilarious! It was typical music for Germany. Then, we went to Speicher Stadt museum which is a museum about warehouses. When we went outside it looked like Venice. We also went to a mini wonderland which is loads of different countries made mini. If that makes sense? It was really cool. They had America, Austria, Bavaria, Netherlands, Switzerland and others. It went from day to night and at ‘night time’ everything was lit up. It looked really beautiful! 

By this time, it was 3.30 and we went on a last explore of the Christmas Markets in the center. I was probably meant to try and find Christmas presents but I just couldn’t find the presents. Tomorrow before we leave so there are more Christmas markets there but if I don’t find any then Scotland will have to do. We got really cold.. and went to Starbucks. I love Starbucks 😀 I also went there for lunch and it was delicious! We had to fit 4 people on a 2 people table with a couple on the table next to us. I don’t think they minded so its ok. It is freezing here though!! Inverness is probably going to feel warm compared to this. There isn’t any snow left but when it was here it was so pretty 🙂 

 

And this is cute with couples names on them haha!

A Solid Six Hours in Starbucks and Trying on Dresses.

Yesterday was Saturday. What do people normally do on a Saturday? Go shopping? a day trip? Sleep? 
Well, we did do a little Christmas shopping but only after six hours in Starbucks. 

My friend and I, we actually really like studying. In Starbucks. All day. Yes, we call them our study days. Are we strange yet? 
I had quite a lot of homework to do and I also wanted to read Narnia. Peta had to proof read an essay and sort out all the work she had ever done for her masters. That is a lot of sorting out. So, we decided to head off to Starbucks. We took the biggest table and filled it with all of our work, a hot drink and food. Now, to our surprise, yesterday was super busy. Apparently a coco cola bus parked outside is worth a day trip to the retail park. Also, as the day went on, there was a DJ in New Look (Starbucks is in New Look) which became louder and louder through-out the course of they day. We didn’t mind, in fact, the music was pretty funny. So, that is what we spent our morning and part of the afternoon doing and then Rachael came and we went on a hunt for a couple of Christmas gifts which actually ended up being trips to Bank to try on an ugly dress and a pretty dress. This is very usual for us. We like to try on clothes just for the purpose of taking pictures, making memories and looking funny. 
Here is some photographic evidence of our productive day: 

All Packed!

In 19 and a half hours (Yes! I am counting 😀 ) I will be leaving to go to Edinburgh airport. I hope there is WiFi that I can connect to there! Then I can update you 😉 I just hate going through security. I always get beeped and then they check me and there is of course nothing and they let me carry on into the ‘boarding’ area. It’s such a boring, annoying part of the airport. It’s for safety though 😀 Then, it’s passed security to find our ‘gate’ and now comes my favorite part… shops 😀 There are so many good shops in airports. If we have a lot of time I always grab myself a Costa and take a wonder around. Anyway, we haven’t even reached tomorrow yet. In the mean time, you’ll be happy to know that I am all packed! Or at least I think so. I hope I haven’t forgotten anything.

 

 These are going in Timmy’s bigger suitcase:D

 

I must say, I think I’ve done reasonably well with the whole only allowed hand luggage scenario.  Timmy has a huge suitcase because he is staying for 5 weeks so he can have some of my stuff 😀 No doubt.. I will be shopping there.

Sunday In St Andrews

Yesterday as usual when I go to Aberdeen I walk into town around 9am while my brother is still fast asleep. I went costa and tried a new drink. The Hazelnut Chai Latte, which I love! I want to try all the Chai Lattes 😀 I went to H&M and I bought a vest top because I always need them and two nail polishes – One navy and one royal blue ( I love blue!:D ) Then, I got a text from Peta saying that they are in Starbucks and to come and find them, so I did. We went round and realized that St Andrews has all the good shops… Nachos, Paper chase, they even have a Super Dry… In St Andrews!! The smallest place ever and they have Super Dry… Inverness is so behind times.. we just got Super Dry 😀
Anyway, we had to trek down to the University to wake my sleepy brother up and we went to the Noodle bar for lunch. Timmy, Peta and I look like a family with our ginger hair haha! 

And… my brother is a giant compared to Peta and I who are like 5 foot 2. We ate noodles

 

yum! 

When we got home we were welcomed by Peta and Beccas garden tidy and lovely. It must have been such hard work. It was a great weekend:)

Today I am going home again. It always goes too fast!! It’s 09.30 and I am sitting on my laptop while my brother is sleeping ( As usual:D) My dad is picking me up at lunch time so I think I am still having lunch here then going home. This morning I will probably do more Japanese. Yesterday at Costa I wrote out Hiragana and how to remember them. I know some but I still have a long way to go. Yesterday I memorized my German which did as I said take 2 minutes to that wasn’t a problem 🙂 Tonight we have our church thing so I will probably go to that 🙂 And then that’s the weekend over. So fast! Ohh it might snow here today!!! I really hope it does… I get so excited 😀

It’s 10am and as always on a Saturday morning when I come to St Andrews I go to Starbucks or Costa. Today I am in Starbucks (for the internet of course) and I have a Vanilla Latte because it is just SO cold and windy outside! 

This morning I woke up at 7.50 (to be exact) and I got ready but it is so hard for me to be quit in the morning and Timmy just wakes up at the slightest sound so knowing me, I probably woke him up. Oh well. Last night I got to St Andrews at about 7.30 and had to tidy Timmy’s room 😀 and then we watched “Perks of being a Wallflower” with Danny (Timmy’s friend) It was actually really good, or I thought so. Then, they had to help me with maths. I am just useless when it comes to maths… I still don’t know how to do long division.. when I do long division there are rows and rows of numbers because I have no clue how to do it the quick way so I’m just sitting there for days. They taught me Scientific Notation. Sounds confusing, I know, I thought so too. But it’s actually not that bad 😛 Then, I went to bed.

I have no clue what I am doing apart from going to lunch at 12.00 and then probably doing work. it has to be done. I have a German talk to memorize which will take 2 minuets and then do some Japanese and write in my journal 🙂 You don’t get dinner at the weekends so we will probably go to the noodle bar(: yum yum yum 🙂

That’s what I’m up to today, Have a great day!

p.s totally forgot it was mothers day today. So i took a trip to the my favorite craft shop!! And bought her 2 things. I will put pictures up 🙂 I bought her this butterfly that you can attach to a picture or something and a white bird that says “Love, hope, peace” or something like that and you can hang it on the wall. It’s so pretty 🙂 By far my favorite shop EVER! It has so much nice bird stuff and vintage looking and ahhh it’s sooo lovely!!! Anyway, I’m babbling on..

VlogBlog day 6 – Starbucks

Coffee, friends, history, school, Slavery, Starbucks, work

It’s 12.51 (to be exact:D) and I am sitting in Starbucks. I have some work to do for school to so thought I should get it all over and done with now. And they have WiFi here too so I can talk to my friends at the same time.

I am sitting here with my Caramel Machiato (no idea how to spell it) and haven’t achieved any work yet but I will soon. My friend Emma and I want to go to America. So if that ever happens I am going to see approx how much I have to save for it to be even the slightest bit possible. When I’m 16, in 7 months!!(: I can go with no problem, with no parents 😀 mind you I could go now but you need to be 16 to stay in a hotel/B&B. I think.

Yesterday, was apparently Pancake Day… I didn’t realize until I asked Google and he said it was 😛 So I will have to have some!! Belated pancakes.
Well, I better get doing my History homework. I already done the 8 mark question (Basically an essay) and typed out my English essay so all there is left to do is 5 spider diagrams on the following topics:
– The spread west
– The Native Americans
– Slavery
– Out break of the civil war
– reconstruction and after the cvil war – The Black codes and The Ku Klux Klan.

So most of those topics are interesting and I think I probably know most about the Slavery because that’s what I am mostly interested in. So I better get to work!
have a nice day(: Thank you so much for reading my blogs!<3

VlogBlog day 4 – Cinema

friends, life, Movie, singing, Starbucks

This morning I went to the cinema with my friend from church. We went to see a film that I have forgotten what it’s called 😀 “give it a year” or something like that. Its a 15 anyway so it did have some quit inappropriate stuff in it but apart from that it was good. After the cinema we went to Starbucks and had a Caramel Machiato and talked(: My mum then came to pick me up and she wanted to go to some charity shops so I went with her and now I am at my dads. Tonight it “Woman Aglow”:) I like Woman Aglow. It’s where we meet up and have a meal together and chat and sing: ) it’s fun. And there is also a speaker there too. So that will take me to about 9.30pm ish… and then it’s home time and soon to bed. Tomorrow I am getting up early and going to the gym with Emma (same girl I went to the cinema with). The gym is really hard to keep at. I go for my friends. If it was just me then I probably wouldn’t be going a lot. But just as well they want to go because that keeps me motivated. I’m not really one for exercising. I eat and tun and let’s face it I am not healthy but I don’t seem to put on ANY weight at all… it’s great! so i am just trying to keep healthy by going to the gym 🙂 and there’s free WiFi – Bonus!

My day’s at the moment are going to be very boring…
I have a cold today 😦 I get like ‘one day’ colds so when I get them, they are quit bad.
Today, I just went to school as normal but I had a head ache some of the time and I could hardly keep my eyes open But, I got through it 🙂
After this post I have to hand out and collect Avon. I really can’t be bothered but its got to be done. Tomorrow, I have the Orthadontist 😦 😦 I get so nervous for the dentist and Orthadontist because I don’t know what they are going to do. Last time I went they said I don’t need my braces tightened but they can’t tighten it anyway because I have something attached to them from the Surgery. So, I am nervous. I also have the dentist next week. So All in all its not very good for me this week.

To the good stuff(:
I didn’t post last night because it got quit late by the time I got home from St Andrews and then I still needed to have a shower 😛
I had a really nice time experiencing the Student Social Life 😀
On Saturday morning while Timmy was not yet ready, I went to Costa and looked around the shops. I just wanted to explore. I already told you what I bought (I think) so I won’t bore you with that. Then we played games with his friends and had lunch and I read my book. Oh yea, and on Friday my brother and I watched Eat Pray Love. On Sunday, it was a bit more layed back. Timmy had to watch Maths lectures on his laptop but, we did go to Starbucks for a late breakfast. That was nice. Peta and Becca came to pick me up at about 5.30? I don’t remember but then we said our goodbyes to my brother and headed home. the weather was sooo bad at some points where all you could see was snow flying toward the window. But, we did get home 😀 😀 eventually! 😀

Well, that’s my news for you. Have a good week!
