My British Summer Begins

I am not in Edinburgh, Scotland yet but I think that this is when my British summer starts: when most everyone else is on a plane flying home. it is exactly 11:40am as I am typing this so their plane back to Texas is literally taking off as I write this. today I am going to hang around the house probably and tonight go to dinner and a movie with a friend. it will be fun :) My British summer has begun. It is weird being in the house right now. it is so empty and quiet. usually you cannot find a quiet space where there any no people around. to quote Colin "there is no such thing as privacy in this house." that was very much true. now, it is not true anymore. it is quiet and pretty empty. Monday the maymester students arrive and I must say it feels strange to think that people other than us will be here. I will miss them. as annoying as they sometimes where I liked them a lot. I got used to being around them almost more than I wanted. we have been around each other everyday almost all day for the last 3 1/2 months. now we are not anymore. it will take some getting used to. i mean a few minutes ago one of the cleaning people walked in and I thought it was Austin. however, I am not totally upset. it is nice to not have to be constantly around 36 people anymore. plus i am excited about my upcoming trip to Scotland. there are so many cool things to do in that city! and some of them are at a pretty good price. they have some really neat and scary haunted tours. I want to do one. you guys know me and how easily I get scared. they also have some awesome city tours and some awesome parks. I will try and keep expenses down. I am so excited! I wanted to do this 3 day tour that goes around Scotland(including the lake where Nessie is supposed to live-loch ness monster). it is 59 pounds but it does not include hostel(they book it, and you pay there) or food. however, that is still pretty good. and worth it in my book. however, I knew that this is a costly summer for my parents my being here so I emailed my dad asking if it was okay and he said yes! I am very very excited. it even goes to the isle of Skye. it is going to be so beautiful and so much fun.
I will admit that this summer as exciting as it will be it also scary for me. i have never been in place by myself like i will be in Scotland and working as an intern at a church will be interesting. I am nervous that i wont do a good job. It's not like I've been going to church for years you know? it will be good for me though. it will not only be fun but it will be challenging and will help me grow and get to know God better. I guess that is what I want to get out of this summer. or one of the things anyways. I want to get to know God better and in a new and different way I guess. I also want to become a degree more outgoing and become more of a leader or at least get some leadership experience. This summer will be very different than last summer. This time, no tears and no therapy and no feeling abandoned. and this summer, I will have stories to tell about my summer unlike last summer.
The idea for this blog came from one of my study abroad roomies,Bailey Brown. she told me last night that I should start a blog only for my summer internship and i thought it was a brilliant idea. that way I can look back on this summer with ease and anyone else can too. since my main blog is restricted, this will allow anyone that wants to follow my summer adventures in Scotland and England can. I called it "British Summer Advetures" for obvious reasons but the term "british does refer to people from Great Britain, which is: England, Scotland, and Wales. so "brits" are not just people from england, hence the title of my blog. I will be in Scotland and England this summer. I hope y'all follow along with me this summer and I also hope y'all have awesome summers as well.
