Inauguration!

Today was inauguration. I walked into my Scottish Ethnology class at 4 to hear him go "I'm surprised there are that many of you here today, especially you Americans." Well, me and a few other Americans ran to the student union after class where they were broadcasting the inauguration on a few big screens. We got there just in time to see Obama sworn in and give his speech. :) It was a very happy occasion. There were quite a few people there (and not all Americans!) and there was copious amounts of clapping.

We then decided to go out to dinner afterward to celebrate. We celebrated our American-ness by going to a wholly Scottish restaurant. So perhaps we really should've gone to McDonalds or KFC, but the Scottish place was much more fun. I have Shepard's Pie which was delicious, and we had a couple of bottles of wine for the table (of 6) which was good. :) We then went to a pub to hang out for a bit, had hot chocolate with Kahlua which was also delicious, and then watched some soccer before I headed back to my room.

Other than that, my news has been fairly boring. I need to buy a stapler, because they don't provide them in the libraries here, which is rather annoying because I have stacks of articles and notes in piles in my room that I'm trying not to mix up. Other than that, there hasn't been too much of consequence. :)
