yesterday i got back from the dave matthews concert at the gorge, let me tell you... absolutely epic. such a gorgeous place made even more gorgeous with the presence of all of my high school friends. if you havent experienced dave matthews at the gorge, definitely put it on your to do list. basically a huge tailgate party. everyone drinking and having a good time. i forget who said this but they said that dave matthews should win the nobel peace prize for getting all of these different kinds of people (Huskies, Cougars, AND Ducks) together without utter chaos ensuing. the concert itself was absolutely amazing, he played "stay or leave" AND "why i am" and even though i didnt get to hear "crash", i am pretty satisfied. and now to get all sentimental: i am always really happy that all of my best friends from high school still make the effort to put time aside to do things like this together. as some people drift apart from their high school friends once they leave for college (especially when that college is over 1,000 miles away from most of them) this group has held strong and i really appreciate that. This weekend is going to make it a little harder to leave.
buttt i am still really excited to get to edinburgh and meet the rest of the people from my program.
Now I have quite the interesting story for you all: So, i got back from the gorge yesterday and checked my email and i found out that i had to confirm my housing, so i log onto my account for university of edinburgh and start going through the steps or whatever and what do i stumble upon... the name of the tenant assigned to the housing is "Mr Blair Callaghan". welp, at the time i dont really think its too big of a deal because thats the only place that has come up so far, and does it really matter? wellll not until i mention it to my family and my lovely sister says "youre probably in an all guys flat" do i start to freak out. so i start thinking...and it is highly likely that what she said is true...i have only found one flatmate and he is definitely male and they did say that they normally allocate flats based on gender. shit! sharing a flat with 11 other girls would be one thing but 11 guys, im not so sure about that, my mom said that the good news is that my messy habits will be the norm.but i emailed my program director(who of course will be out of the office until tomorrow aka the day i leave for scotland!) and the housing people at the school who still havent responded. awesome. hopefully it all gets settled before i move in on the 11th.
welp, its time to get all nostalgic on my last run in tacoma until january. oh yeah, and i should probably start packing.
