Guess what? Haggis is yummy

Sorry I haven't written yet, but, as many of you may know, my hotel room was robbed last night and my netbook was stolen, along with a few other things. I bought a new netbook right away because I don't think I can function without one. Seriously. It's how I connect to home, and my classes start Monday...so it's a need. I'm hoping this Toshiba was a good choice. So a couple pretty bad things have happened since I got here, the robbery being one of them and the other one being that my digital camera is broken. So I will not have any pictures of this GORGEOUS city for at least a week. I have to send it in to Sony to be fixed.  This, however, has not affected my view on Edinburgh, because I fall in love literally every time I walk outside. I can't believe I'm here. I LIVE HERE.

I guess I'll tell you what I did today. We're still staying in the hotel for orientation, so we get free breakfast and it's a pretty amazing one. Seriously everything you could ever want. Eggs, bacon, fruit, mushrooms. Yes, I said mushrooms. Apparently they do that here. Then it was time for academic orientation and they tried to scare the crap out of us about how hard uni (university) is going to be. It worked. At least on me. Oh! Something exciting: my dorm is RIGHT next to Arthur's Seat. That is a dormant volcano. And it's breathtaking. And you can hike up it! That's on my to do list for sure. I can't wait to get a picture of it.

Another exciting thing  happened tonight and it will be the last thing I'll talk about because I'm quite tired and have to be up early tomorrow to move into my dorm. Anyway, I tried haggis! It's AWESOME. Seriously. I really loved it. Maybe it was just because it was a very good restaurant that made it, but it was delicious. I'm planning on eating it again soon. This restaurant we went to, called Howie's, I think, was really good. A bit expensive, but some of the best food I've ever eaten. I had "free range Scottish hen" with some sort of cheese potato on the bottom. Alright, I'm going to get ready for bed. Thanks for reading.
