This weekend was my first weekend as a student here! I did lots of student-y things. On Saturday we attempted to find some school supplies and ended up at staples being told that they don't sell 2-pocket folders. The guy at the store knew exactly what I was talking about, but apparently they just don't have them. Very strange. Then we got Aldonza a cell phone and went to a little coffee place for a bit.

After a bit of dinner on our own, we met up with a bunch of other international students for a.....wait for it.....haggis party. I had the vegetarian stuff which wasn't that bad.

After that party we went over to the University Union and explored there. We caught the end of a dance thing before we went to the club which is also part of the Union. It was loud, and there were a lot of people. Basically what I always imagined a club to be like.

Today Megan, Aldonza, and I went over to the Botanic Garden and walked up and down the river. It was really great and we took some fun/artsy pictures. It did start to get cold though so we went to dinner pretty early. Well, we got there early. The stuck us upstairs, pretty out-of-the-way (probably because we were walk-in, foreigner, students) and then forgot about us after messing up the order. The food was good though which definitely saved the meal.

Later last night the international student society planned a salsa dance lesson back in the Union so Megan and I attempted to give that a shot while Aldonza tore up the dance floor.

Then Megan and I came back and I just kinda hung out, watched some TV and skyped with some people.

It was definitely an eventful weekend. Productivity mixed with nature mixed with dancing. So far so good!
