So much time has passed I don't know if you remember me! I am writing this post from the bedroom of a very kind UWC grad who has so kindly allowed other UWCers to couchsurf- even if she isn't home. The leaves are fluttering elegantly in the breeze outside this historic building made of stone in Edinburgh.
I am currently travelling in the UK visiting old and new friends. It has been an absolutely spectacular journey so far. So many people have reinstalled my faith in humanity and I am so grateful to have had many spontaneous experiences thus far!
Many things happened today:
- I went to a farmers market and a craft market
- I found myself spontaneously in the middle of a free Palestine protest
- I climbed a beautiful hill called Arthur's seat in Edinburgh
- I made a new beautiful friend from Germany atop previously mentioned hill
- I had a lovely conversation and tea in a park
- I bought a sweater for $7 since Scotland is colder than expected!
- I skyped with a dear friend - had a spontaneous nap - finally updated this blog.
The last month of my first year at university was a whirlwind of lovely times with lovely people, studying and completing exams, packing up, and saying goodbye....I will write more reflections as soon as I can and include some photos :)
Much love to you,
Emmy
Hey I was a reader of your blog about Pearson, because I was learning about alternative education movements... Glad to here you're having fun here in the UK despite this rubbish weather atm, I love Edinburgh, the view from and of Arthur's seat is amazing (but not sure about the scary steep shortcut my host took us up), apart from my city (bristol), I think I love Edinburgh the most :-)
