Busy, busy, busy!

Well it's been a little while since I posted an entry. I've been so busy with the semester almost complete. It's hard to believe so much time has gone by. It just seems like yesterday I arrived in Scotland. Well I'm happy to report that I've written 1 out of 3, 4,000 word essays, so there won't be any new entries for a little while.

I've been also attending Rotary events. I went to another ceilidh that was held in Linlithgow. It was so much fun. I think I only sat out for a couple of dances. I'm trying to learn the steps so that I can teach everyone back home. Perhaps a Rotary charity ceilidh in Corpus is an idea? Here's video of another scholar Alice and her dance partner, Antonio in action!

I also gave a speech at the Kilsyth Rotary Club. It was raining horribly and my train was half an hour late, but luckily I made it on time. I never believed the rumor that it rains sideways in Scotland until it happened on that day! Good Scottish weather I guess. At least I got to wear my wellies afterwards! The speech itself went well and they had a lot of questions about Texas. My favorite was about 'it is true things are bigger in Texas?' There were only 14 Rotarians in attendance because of the weather and another concurrent district meeting. There were a lively bunch!

Well I'm sorry that's all the time I can spare. I need to get back to my papers. This week I'm planning on having 11 people over at my tiny flat for Thanksgiving. It will be my first one cooking a turkey so I hope it all ends well! Should be interesting, if not disastrous. I'll report back and I hope all have a happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for Rotary!
