Salve

Or greetings, in Latin.

It's the second day of classes. Not too bad. It's a bit funny though to start using your brain after 5 months of summer. I mean, our last class in Vandy was back in April....

Okay, but listen to this: We're here in Scotland, studying Latin, from a Canadian professor, sitting in front of a German classmate, and using an American textbook. Blows your mind almost.

And here's another difference we're gong to have to get used to: Scottish kids do there studying - or "revisions" -- during the day. So after dinner, they go out. Like last night, Zach and I and some flatmates went to a Pub Quiz, which is like a trivia game night at one of the Student Union bars. And it was packed! We got there quite early and we barely got a table.

Alas, we were quite useless as team-mates because we don't know much about Scottish sweets (candy), women's rugby equipment, Formula 1 racing, or which two alcoholic beverage company's sponsor the Irish football clubs....

If you're wondering, its Guinness and Magners. Magners, by the way, is apple cider, and its brilliant.

Love, Sarah
