Hello All!
I join you today as I am sitting in a little quaint coffee house attempting to do work. However, filling you in on the last week seems so much more entertaining at the moment. This week began on a beautiful, sunny Sunday. A bunch of my friends and I went down to The Old Course to watch the closing rounds of the Dunhill Championship. I had never before attended a professional golf tournament. It was a lot of fun and the weather was awesome - almost hot even! Hugh Grant and Samuel Jackson ventured into town last weekend for the tournament and were seen by many around in the pubs. I unfortunately was not one of those lucky people. However, we spent hours on Sunday walking the length of the golf course and following the golfers. Some of the professionals that you may recognized were British golfers Nick Dougherty and Rory McIlroy. It was a fun time and such a nice day to spend outside. I went down to the course with 4 different layers on, and by the time we finished, it was so warm I had stripped all my layers except one, and was still hot! It's not often that you get hot over here.
It's been quite a nice week weather-wise. Today it's about 60 degrees, but rainy outside. However, most of the time when it rains, it doesn't pour, just drizzles a lot.
Classes have started full-force. My Mondays are pretty rough - I have class from 10 - 6 with only one hour break all day. However, we have lunch in Deans Court, which is a 25 minute walk from the Business School, so I will miss lunch on Mondays as a result of lack of time. I spent most of this week in the library or coffee shops doing work and studying. My first exams begin in the next two weeks. Hopefully they will go okay. There is a lot of reading to do before exams!
I started golf lessons this week. The university gives a great deal on lessons from the Pro Shop down at the Old Course. It was a lot of fun and I am excited about it. I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be!
Tonight there is the Opening Ball that a society called the Kate Kennedy's Society puts on every year. The Americans in Deans Court are going and then a few other random people who live with us. It is supposed to be a good time. It's black tie, so it will be fun to dress up. Hopefully we won't freeze!
Plans for the weekend are the Ball tonight, much more studying tomorrow, and then I am going to Edinburgh on Sunday for the day with a friend just to look around and dinner. I will continue to keep you updated. I love to hear from you all, so please write! Love and miss you all!
