It is coming to an end.


The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind, and to be honest, some parts have felt dream-like. After finishing with exams and presentations I celebrated with friends over another barbecue and drinks. We have been living it up the best we can as our time comes to an end. Amber and I made a day trip to the highlands last week. This included Glencoe, Fort William, and Fort Augustus. We took time to wade into the murky waters Loch Ness and have a picnic lunch on the banks while we kept an eye out for Nessie. Allison came to visit on Wednesday last week and we went out with all the Scottish boys Thursday. Some of them were kind enough to wear their kilts for us as a going away present. I had to begin the goodbyes Friday night as Amber departed Saturday. It is the strangest feeling, as I don't really know Edinburgh without her, we have been together since day one. Saturday, Allison, Morgan, my flatmate Bex and I went to the Edinburgh 7s rugby Festival. This has been the cause of what could become a potentially unhealthy addiction. The festival consisted of 16 international teams. Morgan and I were lucky enough to meet most of them while we were out Sunday evening (I'd think it was a dream if I didn't have a few pictures to prove it.). Morgan and I didn't go to sleep Sunday night and got in line for free tickets to see Paolo Nutini. The concert last night was amazing, and I managed to fight my way to the 2nd row of the crowd. Dad arrived today and I will be spending the rest of the week sharing my amazing city. Less than a week left, and it is feeling very surreal.
