A Kick in the Ass

So I've been reading all of the posts for a while now and every time I start to write my own, but always fail to finish it, so, knowing how much this blog has meant to me as a way of remembering all of you and smiling when I have a bad day, so I'll take Toast's post as a reminder of how much it means to me to stay in touch with all of you!

So, where to start.  Things are going great here.  I love living in Edinburgh, but missed skiing and the outdoors this winter, although living in a city has its advantages as well, there are great galleries and museums right outside my door (literally), and a huge castle too.  I just handed my essays in yesterday (Yes, I wrote them all in about 2 nights, some still things haven't changed) so I am actually all done with the taught portion of my degree and have just to write a dissertation before mid-August.  I am taking a week off to hike and explore Scotland before i start working again.  Rachael DeCruz and two of my friends who I was abroad here with junior year are coming to visit at the end of May, and I'm also taking a short holiday to Croatia in may, which should be amazing.

Other than that, I am still up in the air about what comes next, still thinking about staying around here, but I have also applied for a position as a teaching fellow in Toast's home town at the Lowell Whiteman School, where Julie Casper works now actually, and am waiting to hear back from the headmaster there wants he gets back from vacation!  So that would be an amazing opportunity that I would certainly move back to the states for right away, and I would really love to live in Colorado and get some good skiing in to! and be close to many of you!

Well that's most of what is new here, I'd love to hear from all of you, and of course if you have some spare time/money, visitors are welcome!!!

Cheers

Brian
