Greetings from Berlin!!!

So apologies ahead of time if there are a lot of typos, I am doing this on my iPod touch!

So I am now officially in Berlin after a rather rough night I'm the Edinburgh airport. I left on the 21st from St. Andrews and got to the Edinburgh airport around two am. On my at there I met this really nice girl name Zara on the bus who gave me a pound for my bus fair when I was short. We ended up talking and realizing we were both sleeping in the airport over night so ended up siting together. While it was nice to have a companion sleeping in the airport is never very pleasurable.

I made it to Berlin all right though I had a really hard time findin my way to Berlin central and my hostel.

I've already done a ton so I am just going to list it because and I am going to go to we soon. Thus far I have:

-gone to the Berlin Wall
-gone to check point Charlie
-seen a parade
-seen this really ugly needle thing they have
-gone to a beer garden
-had my favorite beer
... And so much more that I can't remember right now.

I miss you all so much! But now I
NEED to rest.

Vote

While I should be studying... I need a break so I decided to write another blog post today.

I'm sorry but my sister is just sooo much cooler then yours....

Take a look at the picture my little sister drew for my mom for Mothers Day.... It was inspired by Wicked/The Wizard of Oz and the medium was colored pencil...

Isn't it cool how she used Elphaba/The Wicked Witches stockings and the shoes and dress of Dorthy?

So proud of my little sister right now, this drwaing is FABULOUS! Way to go baby sister!

By the end of my European Adventure I will have slept in....

The airports of the following cities:

Madrid (horrendous... I do not recommend it)

London Gatwick (surprisingly O.K.)

Edinburgh (review soon to come)

London Luton (review soon to come)

London Heathrow (review soon to come)

Berlin (review soon to come)

Paris Charles De Gaulle (God I love the French!!!)

NO FREAKING JOKE... so I will be spending the night in Berlin, London Luton, London Heathrow and Edinburgh before I come home... I think when I get to SFO I'll probably be running on Redbull and directly injecting sugar in to my veins as if it was speed. 

I sooo must continue to study for this exam... not getting very far on studying though. Not good. So keen to come home and see you all!

So it is official!!!

I fly into SFO  May 31st!

The May Dip!

So this weekend was the May dip in St. Andrews... Basically:

The May Dip is a student tradition held annually at dawn on May Day. Students stay awake until dawn,( or in my case I took a wee nap and woke up at 4) at which time they collectively run into the North Sea. The May Dip is also traditionally the only way of removing the curse inflicted by stepping on the PH cobbles. If a student is to step on the stones he/she can be forgiven if on the dawn of the first of May, they run into the North Sea.

-I decided it was in my best interests not to run into the ocean (especially the North Sea and after finally getting over being ill for a long time) so instead I just dipped my hand in and filmed my friends being crazy running in. There is a video below and here are some of the pictures!

There were tons of people (even more then in this photo)

My crazy friends who did the May dip

The smart ones who didn't
