Hi y’all! This week has been a bit slow for me as I’m finally settling into class and whatnot. It’s also been fairly bittersweet for me. I got a lot of goodies from home, which in turn made me miss home. Continue reading

Week Two.
So my second week in Scotland has come and gone. I still can’t believe I’m living here. My classes started this week so I didn’t really get out and do very much.
Speaking Scottish: Pt. 1
Okay so I apparently have no idea how to pronounce a lot of things here. I also say a lot of things wrong so this is what I have picked up on so far!
Glasgow = Glasgo (Not owww at the end!)
bar = pub
school = uni/university
ceilidh (Scottish dancing) = KEH LEE
Sauchiehall Street = Saquie hall Street
Edinburgh = Edinburrah
I’m sure I’ll be adding more to this list, but this is just the beginning.
Sláinte, darling!
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.
So with my first week in Scotland coming to a close I figured I’d share it with y’all. My title came from a Florence + the Machine song. It’s my adventure song, I guess. It reminds me to be thankful of what I am experiencing and just How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful world is. So, with my new adventure I want to keep this in mind: And every city was a gift. And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips
Top Ten Tuesday: Book Boyfriends
So this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie! I skipped the prompt last week in favor of my own, because of my move to Glasgow! This week I chose Book Boyfriends! My carranam, Melanie, is doing this one with me so you can check out her book babes here at One Less Lonely Blog.
So ladies and gents, here goes the list of the hunkiest, dreamiest, swoon-worthy book boyfriends out there.
Day One
My first day has been interesting to say the least. I did manage to sleep until 1pm. Jet lag kicked my butt. My housing company put on an afternoon tea where we had sandwiches and tea. I tried my hand at making tea. I was terrible at it and it made me miss southern sweet tea something fierce. I also met up with the group of girls I befriended last night.
The Journey
Over the last two days I made the 2000+ mile trek to Glasgow. I wanted to share the beginning of this experience with everyone. So here it is:
Top Ten Tuesday: Books That I’m Bringing To Scotland
To kick off my first Top Ten Tuesday I am choosing the ten books I can’t live without and that will be making the journey to Scotland with me.
Check In 1
Alright y’all! I just wanted to do a quick check in with everyone!
While life is keeping me busy I am reading! I am currently three books in on the YA Fantasy Send Off. Queen of Shadows was incredible. I’m currently on Snow Like Ashes and it started a bit slow but I am really loving it now. I’m aiming to finish SLA and an ARC of Ice Like Fire before I leave on Friday.
As always you can find me talking books and fangirling in general over on Twitter, so come say hi!
Sláinte, darling!

One Week To Go.
One week. Oh my gosh, y’all. I leave in one week!
This past week has been hectic- I finished my last week at work, trying to keep up with my reading challenge and just trying to get everything taken care of in general.
Last weekend my aunt, Monica, and cousin, Ashlyn, threw me the best going away party ever.
