Ya Know I Like My Chicken Fried...

Today was absolutely beautiful! The weather was nice, and it was a lot warmer than it has been, which isn't really saying much for Scotland. But it means I could walk around without a scarf and a beanie, so that was exciting! I met some friends and we went to this pub where we watched the Celtics/Rangers soccer game. Both these teams are from Glasgow, so it's a pretty big rivalry here. I guess it's kinda like the Clemson/Carolina rivalry...they don't really like each other. So it was interesting to see the pub get pretty heated at times. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, so I guess that was ok for both teams. Apparently I'm supposed to be a Rangers fan because Keith got us tickets to go to a Rangers game next weekend, so that should be fun. Other than that I just had a nice relaxing day, caught up on some things I needed to do (which means I watched last weeks episode of 24 haha). Tonight we had dinner with some friends. A bunch of us got together and had fried chicken, peas, french fries, and veggies. I was a little worried because the girl who was making the fried chicken is actually from Arizona, but it turned out great! We had a great time all hanging out together. And I think we scared off her two French roommates...us bunch of loud rowdy Americans. But we really had a great time. Our conversations were all over the places, and we had a great time getting to know each other and seeing what each person thinks about different things. Everything from relationships to religion to family to sports to school...I think we covered most subjects haha. But we just had a great time together, and it was nice hanging out with friends and talking about things without having to explain the American view of things and without having to explain the American culture. Good food, good times. I think I'm actually going to start having to do schoolwork this week haha. I have a tutorial tomorrow which I need to read for and do some work, and I think I need to start my paper. Keith and I are hoping to confirm our tickets to Dublin for St. Patrick's Day (Happy Birthday that day Mom!). Hope everyone is doing great back at home! Love ya'll!
