The weekend

Another weekend has gone! Friday was our day out since they had to cancel it last week due to weather and lack of drivers. They took out my DTS to Inverary...I'm pretty sure that is how it is spelled haha. We spend some time in that village up in the mountains and actually got to see a castle without scaffolding all over it lol! That is the castle I posted a picture of :) The gates to go up to it were locked so we had to make do with the zoom features on our cameras, but it was gorgeous none the less! After we left there they drove us to a few other smaller towns on the way back for some sight seeing and shopping. At one point we stopped at a place called Rest and be Thankful which I have been hearing people talking about since I arrived in Seamill. Unfortunately when we arrived at Rest and be Thankful it was covered in snow and ice and there were winds so strong that were actually knocking us over haha! It was absolutely beautiful at the look out but none of us lasted long since the wind and the cold were positively insane haha! When we got back to the base it was then time for the Battle of the Bands! The base was trying to raise money for the Gate house (a house right next to the base they are trying to buy) and I know they raised quite a lot of money by the end of the night..so Yay! There were 4 bands put together by the staff + students and they were all hilarious and amazing!!
Saturday Hannah and I went into Glasgow to see Alice in Wonderland! We were so excited we did our make-up all crazy and I actually managed to get some pig tails going on :P While we were waiting for the show to start we went around Glasgow and I got to buy some tea! Yay! Hannah found the complete works of Shakespeare in a small bookshop for really cheap so that made her day. Then the movie time came! First let me say that Scottish commercials are just odd. Hannah and I spent the 30 min of commercials before the movie with extremely puzzled looks on our faces haha! The movie was fantastic!!! I loved it...so much fun I advise you all go see it :)
After the movie we were heading back to West Kilbride and when we got off the train in town 2 Scottish guys started talking to us...which was actually quite difficult since they both had very strong accents and talked really fast! They kept trying to let them get us a cab and we kept having to convince them that we actually did enjoy walking haha! They were both very sweet...and also very handsome ;) It was a wonderful Saturday in all!
Today was very relaxing :) I have spent the entire day up until now reading and it has been so wonderful! I have not had a full day dedicated to reading since I got here so it was much needed! Well now it is time for bed because I am exhausted. I'll write again soon :) God Bless
