Getting lost is just another way of exploring!

Yeah, so I got really lost this morning. Walked in to campus by myself, and I wasn't in any rush, so I decided that it was a good idea to try to do the windy park path. Didn't quite work out. I did find the botanic gardens, though! And I was so tired and sweaty by that point that I stopped, sat on a bench in there, and had a lovely little breather. The gardens are very pretty and actually way more expansive than I would have thought, considering it's a network of greenhouses. Got a little lost in there, too, truth be told.

Anyway then I had class and then a few of us went into the city centre. I've found a coffee buddy! Camila is every bit as much of a coffee lover as me, so we stopped and had delicious delicious lattes at a cafe, then continued on to GOMA, which is the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art (factoid). You'd think the acronym would be GMOMA, but whatever. GOMA sounds better. Very very cool place. I don't know a lot about modern art, but this exhibit is really cool. Interactive and fun and witty.

Then I came back on the subway, ate quickly, and went to volleyball. So much fun! Haven't had so much fun playing volleyball since high school. Then again, haven't played with just girls since high school. Guys get really competitive, and hit really freaking fast. Like, bullet speed.

Anyway that was my day. Oh also the planning has begun!! Working out Belfast and Cardiff at the moment. Ahh!

Pictures:

The Botanic Gardens. Very pretty and lots of benches to stop and rest when you've been walking for an hour and a half and are going to have a heart attack.

I saw a man in a kilt with a collie!! It was just so Scottish that I had to have a picture. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at surrepticious picture taking.

Attempt number two. So close.

Me in St. George's Square (one of the major ones in the city centre).


Camila admiring some really funny cartoonery.

This one went totally over my head but I thought it was really cool looking. Rainbow half-chairs stacked on top of each other.

Outside of the museum. I was feeling creative, so I stood on a pillar.

Pooh quote: "Although Eating Honey is a very good thing to do, there is a moment just before you behin to eat it which is better than when you are."

Much love,
