i love scotland!

I've only been here for four days, and I'm in love. My last trip to Scotland was mostly all about the Highlands - I spent like 10 hours in Edinburgh. Most of my time was spent traipsing through the countryside of Scotland, looking at sheep and running up hills. This trip, I've only seen like 10 sheep and it was while I was on the train. Instead, I've been exploring the city life here, and I absolutely adore it. I'll update more later, but both Glasgow and Edinburgh are amazing -- I never want to leave.

It feels so nice to be away from the world. I was nervous coming here, but AM and I had the BEST time. I miss her so much. It's so crazy to think how we've become such good friends. I remember when I barely knew her and now we've grown so close. I really cherish her friendship - so unexpected, but so welcome. I've been alone for the past two days, exploring Glasgow. I'm proud of myself - I didn't pull any hermit shit. I've been out and about and walking like a crazy person. I've even taken the subway! Exploring everything I possibly can. Tomorrow, I head off to London because it's so much easier to grab a flight to SFO from there.

I'm not looking forward to reentering the real world. I have a Christmas party to plan. I am super far behind on this event I'm leading. I'm struggling with my role for next year on the team. Also, I had a recruiter reach out to me about another job at another company. Oh, and there's the whole Foreign Service thing. Top it all off with me having no idea what I want to do for New Year's - there's just too many people to see and too many options, so in my paralysis I'm doing nothing. Arg, real life - I'm stressed already and I still have about 36 hours of freedom.

Anyhow, I'm loving Europe - it is amazing. More to come. Miss everyone! Oh, and I love British television. I can't sleep at night because I'm too busy watching these zany sitcoms. #love
