First Week in Stirling

Today marks my first week in Stirling. I have been dreading writing this post, because I don't know how to sum it up. I should have been writing more often, but I had quite a lot on my plate already. So, how to describe the week? Overwhelming, surprisingly hard, different...but also good. Here are some highlights that describe the week:
1. Running to my plane only to find I had 8 minutes to spare.
2. Meeting my 5 roommates. 2 Americans, 1 Maltan, 1 German, and 1 Mexican.
3. Breaking down in the computer lab on campus as I facebook chatted with Bailey on Monday.
4. Having a bonding moment with my roommates one morning as we sat around in the hall in pjs. 
5. Planting chrysanthemums in mugs and watching them bloom.
6. Watching Stirling's rugby team and trying to decipher what they were doing. Intense game! And SHORT shorts. 
7. Making toasties with the Christian Union for people coming out of the pub, bar, and club on campus (only in Scotland, right?) Toasties are the most delicious things ever. They are grilled cheese, but made in sandwich presses, and you can put whatever you want in them. The winner so far: cheese and tomato. Nutella, marshmallow and banana is also delicious.
Anyway, that kind of sums of the week. If you want details on anything though (ie toasties), I love emails :)

    He Caitlin, I am so proud of you. You might not completely fit in yet, but.....you did it!
    Went al the way to these crazy Scots!
    By the way, we MAKE the tosti's (in Dutch) at our store. Only with cheese and or ham though.
    Never thought even of nutella and marshmellow's?? It's the good old grilled (Gouda:)cheese sandwich and people love it.Some days we sell 30 of them. Baked on a Panini iron. Similar to what you said.
    Bye dear girl, just continue to do good. God bless and
    we love you,
    lenneke and family
