parties, cars, and American football

Friday, Amber's flatmates threw a party. This was really different from the parties at home. Everyone is all about sharing their drinks and being very friendly. At the party I met a few people who seem really cool. One of the guys, Jason(Scottish) and his flatmate John(English) picked us up Sunday morning and drove us to their football (soccer) match. Yes, you read right, they picked us up. I have officially ridden in a car going the wrong way. The pitch (field) had really great views of Arthur's Seat and other surrounding hills. Last night some of us went to Jason's flat to watch the super bowl. It was one of the most bizarre experiences yet. THERE WEREN'T ANY COMMERCIALS! Anytime NBC went to commercial break BBC went to their commentators who explained what was happening. During halftime, John made us one of the most unhealthy and delicious snacks I think I've ever had. Toast with peanut butter and sprinkles(the chocolate and vanilla kind). I highly recommend giving it a try. Today I begin my matriculation (orientation) at Napier, and will be picking out courses. Did I mention its snowing outside?

  1. Glad you had fun at the super bowl party. You will need to go on line to see the commercials, there were some really good ones.
    Snow? Take some pictures for us!
    Good luck in getting the classes you want.

  2. I think it's funny they have to explain what's going on during commercial breaks. I'm glad you got to see the super bowl. I was hopeful for the Cardinals, but oh well... so close. Sounds like fun there! Don't get too attached... ;)

  3. Hi Jessica: Sounds like things are going well for you there. Your Mom and I haven't been into any mischief this week but we're headed back to Nashville next week!
