Day 24! Today was pretty boring compared to the weekend but no less crazy. After looking at my week, I realized that 1) it's my last full week here and 2) that I have 3 field trips, 2 papers, and 1 presentation happening this week before I leave for Scotland on Friday! So, this will be nothing short of a chaotic week. On the bright side, I bought myself a hat. Wish me luck!

Day 23! I started this day out very very early, 3:30 AM to be exact. Our flight left at 7:00 that morning. We headed to the airport through security and waited.

Tomorrow, I will be taking a trip to the house were Sir Isaac Newton was born. Needless to say, as a science major, I'm pretty excite...

Day 17! After such a busy weekend, I was thankful for staying in the manor today. I had a presentation this morning and turned in one of my papers. It is hard to believe that I am halfway done with my class at this point. Time has sure flown. I was able to finally blog again and review some of my pictures.
