More Adventures

So I have been meaning to blog more but I've noticed it's almost been a week since the last post I have made! Gotta get my shit together!

So John and Murdena are now gone:( But we had an amazing week together! It is rare that John and I get to spend that much time together so we definitely made the most of it!

Wednesday 
We all bought bus and boat tour passes so the three of us spent the day touring the city. Highlights included the botanic gardens (which I thought were going to be kind of boring but were actually so cool!), going to another mall..... (the death of poor me!) and going to Holyrood Palace.

In front of Holyrood where the Queen stays when she comes to Scotland.

Thursday 
I had to perform with the girls and the Norwegian band so I spent the morning practicing and then I did a step dancing part in the show to ABBA. John and his mom came to watch and then we went on a bus and boat tour. It was really beautiful but it was VERY behind schedule so I didn't enjoy as much because I was so stressed about making it back in time.... Fortunately I made it back at 6:07 and was dressed and hair done at 6:15... MIRACLE!

Friday
We went to the Zoo! It was so cool! And it was a gorgeous day out! I have to say apart from the bipolar weather of the first week, the second week was so sunny and nice! My favorite part of the zoo was climbing this rope jungle gym sort of thing. It was so scary but so exhilarating. I also really liked the hippos and zebras:)

Saturday 
This was our last day together so I hung out with John at his place and I did laundry... Except I didnt really understand the machine so instead of drying my clothes it washed them twice.... I was so mad! We then went to eat and then walked all 287 steps to the top of Scots Monument! We then had two shows on Saturday and then we went out to the Espionage where I had to say bye to John:(

Yesterday
I finally got to sleep in!! I had more of a relaxing day and laid outside and watched a movie and cleaned my room. We then had a beer pong tournament which really only consisted of 3 games and then played never have I ever. We then went to a pub named Whiskey Binkys but Amanda and I thought it was lame so we went home. I skyped Britt and Kay and went to sleep and was later awoken by some of the girls with snacks;)

Today
Last but not least today I got up and went and met ASH!!! Finally! We did the Underground Tour with some of the other College Crew which was interesting. We then climbed Arthur`s Seat (a mountain in Edinburgh). It was such a workout! Not to mention Ash was wearing rain boots and I was wearing flats. Needless to say it was an amazing view and it was good to see everyone from the College!
 Tonight I get to perform for them in the Tattoo (so excited!)
