Big update to come...

but for now, I am just telling you all that I will be away this weekend. I am going on a trip to Carbisdale Castle. Below is the information about my trip...we leave tomorrow morning and are back on Sunday night.

Love you all and I will update you when I am home. I'm going to actually start some work next week so I will have some library time to sit down and write.

Love Always,

Jess

The Usual

I won't go into every single detail from the past week, because it was mostly the same as all the previous weeks. I had normal classes on Thursday, Monday, and Tuesday. We went to The Hive again on Thursday night and danced our butts off. On Friday night we went to Cheesy Pop for another crazy night of dancing and meeting new people. Saturday night was one of our friend's flat mate's birthday party, so we all went there for the night. Laura, Briana, and I didn't stay for long, but we were there long enough to be introduced to some guy named Freddie Fisher (aka Halfwit) who is really famous here. He was on Big Brother in the UK. After meeting him and realizing the rest of the birthday party wasn't that interesting, we headed back to our flat for a relaxing night. On Friday and Saturday we had our usual family dinners with the whole crew.

Sunday was a unique day for us though. Some of the girls and I decided to check out Glasgow's famous Barrowland Market on the east side of the city. It happens every weekend and is a big indoor market with so many different vendors. We got there a little late so there were only a few stands still open. I started a conversation with a guy at one of the shops and soon another man was giving us directions to the People's Palace (that I visited during my homestay). This man giving us directions was absolutely hilarious and was making fun of our accents. In the end he asked me to smell the cologne he was wearing and kept trying to get my face close to his neck. Since I was skeptical about getting so close to him, he grabbed my face and gave me a big kiss on the cheek. Everyone was cracking up and that was when we decided to get on our way and head to the People's Palace. It was a gorgeous day, blue skies, and the sun was shining bright. We didn't stay long at the People's Palace, and then headed toward the city centre for some lunch. We found a great little restaurant with tapas and the 5 of us shared a bunch of little plates of food.

On our way back to the flat we heard that everyone was watching the World Cup in a pub near the underground stop, so we ended up going into the pub and staying there for a while just hanging out and eating pizza. After the pub, we came back to the flat and relaxed before another week of classes started.

On Monday I woke up feeling horrible. Everyone seems to be sick around me so I was just waiting to come down with something. I was all ready for class, about to walk out of the flat, and I was just feeling too horrible and could barely see straight so I got back in bed and didn't go to my 10am class. After a couple more hours of sleep, I was feeling better and went to my art history lecture at 3pm. I figured it would be bad to miss both art history classes in one day. The girls and I have started to go to a bunch of the classes they offer at the gym every week, so at 5:15 we went to BoxFit. That class is so hard, but definitely good and we can always feel it the next day. Laura and I were hungry after the class so we ordered Indian food and had it delivered to our flat. We ended up having an Indian food picnic on the floor of our room. The food was great and we had enough leftovers for another dinner the next night.

Tuesday, I had sculpture from 9:30-12:30. It was another great class and we worked on a new piece. It was our last day with our model, Elaine, because next week we are getting a male model. We will definitely miss her great sense of humor and the chocolate treats she brings us every class. The pictures below are of my sculpture from Tuesday. We only had a couple hours to do this one and we won't be able to work on it again.

After sculpture I took the underground to the station after my normal stop. I wanted to go to the Salvation Army for some cheap t-shirts for working out in. Since I didn't bring a lot of clothes, I took out a lot of my t-shirts that I didn't think I would need. Little did I know I would we working out 4 or more times a week. I found a few t-shirts for only a pound each and they're actually really comfortable. At 3pm I had my normal art history lecture, which was actually pretty interesting. We talked a lot about the origin and science of photography. Briana and I stopped at a cafe on our way home from class and realized that we barely have any time left to travel during the rest of the semester. On the weekend of Valentine's Day we are going on a weekend trip to Carbisdale Castle with the International Society. Most of April I will be traveling around Ireland and Scotland with my parents when they come to visit. Then it will be exams and final papers, and the semester ends on May 29th. We decided to start making some traveling plans for the next few months as soon as we got back to the flat. Briana and I bought the last two seats on a flight to Paris. We are leaving Thursday March 4th and returning on Sunday March 7th. We have yet to find a place to stay, but at least we know we are going there. I signed up for a site called couchsurfing.com where people (who have been verified and recommended) host backpackers, students, and really anyone else who is traveling around the world. I got a name of someone from my friend at Smith who couchsurfed in Paris at this person's house in the countryside. Her host hooked them up with a boat tour of Paris and provided them with a bed to sleep in and coffee, tea, and touring around the city. I'm hoping to research these couchsurfing hosts a little more to check that it is safe (which everyone says it is) and hopefully we will find a great host who will let us stay for free, cook for us, and even tour us around the city...most of the hosts actually do this!

Last night I spent a lot of time practicing my chanter for my bagpiping lesson today. This morning Laura and I walked to photography and we were actually able to create some prints in class. I thought we would have to spend a lot of time developing the prints with all of the bins of chemicals that are usually in a dark room but I saw no chemicals in the room when we got there. Instead, I saw a huge machine in the middle of the room that looked like a copy machine. The print developing is AUTOMATIC! How cool is that? Now we don't have to spend a bunch of time in the dark room developing each of our prints, we can put a few in at a time and they come out of the machine in about 2 minutes. Today I was able to print 2 of my photos and I'm very proud of them so far. I'll have to post pictures soon. My bagpiping lesson after photography went well, but Glenn (my tutor) told me he won't be here for the next 2 weeks so I don't have a lesson until February 24th. That means I have to be really good at the exercises he assigned me because I'll have 2 weeks to practice.

I am no coming down with a cold because it seems like it has just been passed around our group of friends and flat. I'll wake up with a sore throat and then throughout the day it is mostly just congestion and a head cold. When I got off the underground from bagpiping I went to Boots (our local drug store) and bought some cold medicine and then I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of oranges. I'm hoping to be better by this weekend for some more dancing/clubbing in Glasgow. (But don't worry...I'll take it easy if I'm not feeling well.)

Laura, Briana and I just came back from grocery shopping. We are going to try to make eggs benedict tonight. I will take some photos of our attempt and tell you how it went tomorrow. Until then, have a great night and I hope you all had a great week. Email me if you want my address here. I will send you postcards if you send me your address as well. (If you don't have my email, leave me a comment on my post in the comment box below.)

Love and miss you all!

Love Always,

Jess

Updating while I still have internet.

So, we had internet for a few hours the other day, and then it was turned off again. Finally we have the internet back and we're hoping it stays on for at least a few hours this time.

On Monday, I had my art history lecture and then, later that night, Laura and I walked to Iceland (our cheap grocery store down the hill from our flat) and bought ingredients for omelets. We made the best omelets. Laura made hers with fresh tomatoes, cheese, and spinach. I made mine with onions, spinach, ham, cheese, and mushrooms. Yummmm.

On Tuesday, I woke up early for sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art at 9:30am. I really don't mind getting up for that class because I love it so much. I really wish I could have sculpture more than once a week. It's so relaxing and we get tea and chocolate. We "finished" our first sculptures on Tuesday and next week we make a new one with the same model. After our model, Elaine, leaves us next week we get a new model named Andrew. I brought my photography camera to sculpture with me because after class I wanted to finish my roll of film for developing. I ended up taking some great photos but I didn't finish the whole roll. I had art history again from 3-4pm and then at 5:20, Laura and I walked to the gym and went to a BoxFit class from 5:30-6:15. Our other friends, Laura, Lindsey, and Sarah were there as well, so we all had a great time punching and kicking around. It was a huge class in the gym and a great workout. (I'm sitting in my room now, a day later, unable to move my arms above my head very quickly without it hurting.) After the gym, we had another family dinner with some of the leftovers from our fajitas and some new ingredients. Sarah made chicken quesadillas and they were wonderful. I finished my roll of film at dinner, taking pictures of people and random things in the kitchen. I'm actually really excited to see them blown up.

My final sculpture...I never really finished the face.

Another view of my sculpture.

After dinner we decided to go to Oran Mor for drinks and dancing. They had a great DJ and we were dancing until around 1am. All of us had class in the morning, but each song kept getting better and we could not get ourselves to leave the club. Anyway, we finally got to bed around 2 or 2:30.

Today, we were woken up by the fire alarm going off in our flat. I thought we could sleep through it and not have to get out of bed, but after a few minutes we heard other people leaving the flat to go outside. It was 8am and my alarm was supposed to go off at 8:45, so I was very annoyed that the fire drill was at that time. After the drill, we went back up to the flat, slept until 9am, and then woke up to get ready for photography. I developed my film today and the photos, from what I can tell looking at them up against the light, look awesome. I'm so excited to make some prints. After photography, I walked to bagpiping and had my lesson with Glenn from 1-2pm. It went well, I finally bought my own practice chanter and I will be able to bring it home with me! For my next lesson I have to have the exercises down and be able to play a little tune. I plan on practicing every day until my lesson. The bagpipes are definitely not as easy as I thought they were going to be. The chanter looks like a recorder but it is a lot harder to play than the recorder I played in elementary school.

After bagpiping, I took the underground back to Hillhead, and now I'm back in my flat hanging out here for the night. We're thinking of taking it easy tonight and having a girls night. I bought some face masks and I have some nail polish, so we might do a movie and girly night tonight.

Tomorrow I don't have class until 3pm, but I will go to the gym in the morning and then maybe work on editing my Top Chef video some more.

Love and miss you all!

Love always,

Jess

First full week of classes and Newcastle.

The internet has not been working in our flat for almost a week now. It is getting a little ridiculous, but hopefully they will give it back to us soon. I called our RA (Resident Assistant), Ludmila, yesterday and she said that she would call the accommodations office today and try to figure it out.

My class schedule is:

Monday:

10-11am, Art History Tutorial

3-4pm, Art History Lecture

Tuesday:

9:30-12:30, Figurative Sculpture

3-4pm, Art History Lecture

Wednesday:

10-1pm, Black and White Photography

1-2pm, Bagpipes Private Lesson

Thursday:

3-4pm, Art History Lecture

4-5pm, Bagpipes Lecture

Friday:

NO CLASS (Most of my traveling will start on Thursday nights or Friday mornings.)

Tuesday:

I had my first sculpture class from 9:30-12:30. I took the underground (aka The Clockwork Orange) to the Cowcaddens stop and walked to the sculpture studio. We had a nude model on our first day and it went great. The class is only 4 people, so we get a lot of help and one-on-one time with our teacher, Katherine. The model was very nice and on our break she gave us all chocolate. It’s so nice to have a model that can interact with you and make you feel comfortable in the studio.

After sculpture, I took The Clockwork Orange back to my flat and hung out until around 3pm when I walked to art history. In between art history and dinner, Briana, Laura and I watched Friends on my laptop for a little while and then decided we wanted to go out for dinner and drinks at Oran Mor. Oran Mor is a gorgeous restaurant/bar/club. It was converted from an old church, with some Mackintosh influences inside. We ordered Caesar salads and hung out with our friends Laura (another Laura), Ted, and AJ joined up with us a little later. After dinner, we walked to Ashton Lane and went to a bar called Nude for Mojitos. AJ joined the lacrosse team here at the university, so we happened to bump into two of his teammates at the bar and talked to them for a while. It was an early night because Laura and I had class at 10 the next morning, so we went back to the flat and got some sleep.

Wednesday:

We walked to photography at around 9:30 and got to the studio around 10. The entire class was just talking about the camera, settings, how to focus it, and what the class would be about throughout the semester. We also received our own cameras and film that we will be able to use all semester. After photography, I had a private lesson with my bagpiping teacher, Glenn. They still don’t have enough practice chanters for everyone, so I have been using Glenn’s for this week. I learned the scale and fingering for the chanter, and it does NOT sound pretty when you don’t blow hard enough into the instrument. I was laughing throughout the entire lesson because I couldn’t get the sound right. Glenn is a character and I’m excited to have such a great tutor for my lessons. When he plays, he does circular breathing, which not many musicians can do. The reason Kenny G. is so famous and good at what he does is because he can do circular breathing. It is when you puff up your cheeks and store air in your mouth while you inhale through your nose and blow out that fresh air into the instrument. It allows musicians to play an entire tune without taking their mouth off of the instrument. It’s fascinating to watch Glenn play the bagpipe while circular breathing.

The National Piping Centre in Glasgow

After bagpiping, I had a meeting with Anna West, our study abroad coordinator, and talked to her about my classes and how I have been settling in here in Glasgow. Summary of the meeting: love the city, love the people, I’ve made great friends, and I’m excited for the rest of the semester! I really couldn’t be happier here. I know I don’t have a heavy course load, but that is WHY I am having such a good time here. If I had more work, I would not be able to enjoy the city I’m living in and meet all of these great people. I, of course, am going to try to do my own side projects to keep me busy, like sketching, traveling, reading, etc., but right now I’m enjoying not being stressed out like I was last semester in New York.

At around 4:30, Laura and I went to the Glasgow University Union to buy tickets for the Newcastle Trip for international students. It was 40 pounds for a bus ride to Newcastle, staying in a hostel, dinner, entrance to a bar/club, and then a ride back to Glasgow. After buying tickets, I went to get my wireless internet connection fixed in the library so I could use the wireless in my flat. We ended up staying in on Wednesday night even though I didn’t have class until 4pm the next day.

Thursday:

At 1:15pm, after sleeping in a wee bit (yes, I just said “wee”), I went to the gym with Briana and at 3:30pm all of us headed to the National Piping Centre for our first Bagpipes lecture.

Later that night, we decided to go to The Hive, which is a club at the Glasgow University Union on campus, down the street from my flat. Everyone came over to our room before going out and then we went to get in line (or the queue) at the Union. It took us a while to get in and it was raining outside, but once we got in it was definitely worth it. Earlier that night we though we were going to a UN party, so we were all dressed in red, white, and blue, but we ended up deciding not to go to that club because it was too far away. Therefore, we went to the stoplight party at the Hive in our red, white and blue. They paint lines on your face (red, yellow, or green) depending on your relationship status. We all had a great time at the Hive and danced the entire night until we left the club at around 2:30.

Friday:

Laura and I spent most of the day hanging out around the flat and then at 6:30pm we went to our friends apartment for “family dinner.” Family Dinner is when a few people go out and buy a bunch of ingredients and a couple people cook for everyone, and we all have dinner together. We all end up paying around 2 or 3 pounds for dinner with all of our friends. On Friday dinner was with Laura, Heather, another Laura, Lindsey, Liam, AJ, Sarah, Briana, and me. We had fajitas and they were SO good! This is definitely a tradition we will stick with for this semester.

Saturday:

At 9am, we went to the Main Gate of the university and got on the bus to Newcastle with all of the other international students. We were dropped off at the hostel, checked into our rooms, and then got on the bus to go to the city centre. Our first stop was lunch, and then shopping in the city centre. There isn’t much to see in Newcastle, so we decided to just walk around the mall and along the main street.

I think this is the Millennium Bridge in Newcastle. (I took this while we were on the bus.)

Laura, Briana, and I shared a room.

What we didn't know was that the bottom bunk was a double :-P

Around 4:30pm we took the Metro back to the hostel, got dressed for dinner and hopped on the metro around 5:30 to meet the rest of the international students at the Monument in the city centre. Hojjat (the president of the International Society) took us to an Iranian buffet, which was actually very good. After dinner we went to a bar and sat around until 10:30. Although we were all getting very bored in the bar, it was the best people watching I have ever done. I have never seen so many stilettos, mini dresses, big hair, fake eyelashes, layers of makeup, and fake tans in my life. I really wish I could have gotten some pictures of the people in the bar for all of you to see. The bar we were in was also beautiful to look at, because it was an old bank with the huge columns.

The interior of the Revolution Bar.

At 10:30pm, we went next door to a Hidden club called Madame Koo. You have to walk down a couple flights of stairs to get to the dance floor. By that time, we were getting sort of tired but when we saw all the people on the dance floor, we knew we had to get on there with everyone else. They played some great music and I even had a dance-off with a guy on the dance floor. He started doing all of this crazy footwork and break-dancing moves, so I decided to challenge him and we had a little dance-off. We danced from about 11pm to 1am and then decided it was time to go back to the hostel to get some sleep before waking up at 8:15 the next morning.

Sunday:

Our alarm went off at 8:15am to go get some breakfast downstairs. The hostel manager had croissants, yogurt, fruit, orange juice, and cheese waiting for us. After breakfast, we went back up to our room to sleep until 9:40 because we had to get on the bus at 10. We drove about 20 minutes from Newcastle to the sea. The girls and I decided to sit in the aquarium café for hot chocolate/coffee/tea while looking out at Whitley Bay and the beach. We then got back on the bus to go to Durham Castle. After seeing Durham Castle and walking around there for a while, the bus driver took us to Newcastle’s MetroCentre, which is the largest mall in Europe. We didn’t want to walk around the mall because we didn’t want to be tempted to spend any more money, so we found a nice restaurant and ate a great lunch before getting on the bus around 3. From there, we took the bus back to Glasgow, went grocery shopping, and then came back to the flat to relax before another week of classes.

Monday:

I just had my 10am Art History discussion class, and now I am sitting in the kitchen, updating this blog, and thinking about eating some lunch. I have to go to my art history lecture in 2 hours, so I’m trying to organize my schedule and figure out my side projects for the semester.

Now that I am finally done with my blog update, I just found out the internet is working again in our rooms…I’m going to move over there to upload all of the pictures for this entry.

Love and miss you all!

Love Always,

Jess

Internet is STILL down!

I will be updating my blog soon with all that has happened in the past week. However, the internet keeps kicking us off and then we have to use the wireless connection which is never very strong in our room. Tomorrow I am heading to Newcastle-upon-Tyne (aka Newcastle) for the night with other international students. The Glasgow University Union is putting it all together. We leave tomorrow morning at 9am, take a bus to Newcastle (about a 3 hour ride), and then we are given dinner, a hostel to stay in, and entrance to a bar/club, all included in our ticket price (40 pounds). We will return to Glasgow on Sunday around 5 (I think), so expect an update and pictures that night.

Love and miss you all!

Love Always,

Jess

Internet is down...

So, the internet has been down in our flat for the past two days. Hopefully it will come back soon because there is so much to tell you all about my week so far. My first sculpture class, photography class, and bagpiping lesson! I am in the library right now and the IT people helped me set up the wireless internet connection for the University. I won't be here for much longer, which is why I'm not going to update all of you now. I just wanted to let you all know that there will be a post soon...maybe I can even get wireless if I sit in our kitchen because it's closer to the library.

This coming weekend I will also be going on an overnight trip to Newcastle with Briana and Laura and a bunch of other international student. Talk to you soon.

Love Always,

Jess

BOBBY MCFERRIN

Sunday wasn't all that eventful until later in the day. Briana and I went to the library to fill out forms for Arcadia University. Arcadia is the program I'm with in Scotland, so we have to fill out orientation and host family surveys. After that we went grocery shopping and found a great grocery store near us. It's called Waitrose and is similar to Whole Foods, only I think it is cheaper. After buying some groceries, we came back to my flat and cooked dinner. We made a wonderful dinner of penne pasta, garlic bread, and broccoli. yummm. We were so stuffed by the end of dinner and all we wanted to do was lay down and watch a movie. Braveheart had finally downloaded on my computer, but it is 3 hours long so me, Briana and Laura watched Mulan, which was playing live on channelsurfing.net.

Our delicious dinner.

Today was my first real day of class. At 10am I had an art history seminar. There are only about 10 people in the seminar and the grad student leading the discussion seems very nice. She made us get right into art history and talk in front of the class about paintings we didn't know. We had to try and guess what time period they were from and what the artist was trying to focus on. I think it will be a good seminar, though. After class, I went back to my flat to relax for a few hours before going to my first art history lecture at 3pm. The lecture was fine, the same as any art history lecture I have sat through. I have these 1 hour lectures three times a week, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Once class was over, Briana and I walked to the subway because we wanted to go downtown and walk around St. Enoch Centre, which is a big shopping mall downtown. On our way to the subway we bumped into Laura who was coming back from her bagpiping lesson, and she ended up joining us on our adventure downtown. We didn't spend too much time in the mall because everything downtown seems to only be open until 6pm. On our way back home, we bumped into a friend who told us about a performance going on at 8pm with Bobby McFerrin for Celtic Connections. Celtic Connections is a month long festival in Glasgow, that brings so many different performers to Glasgow. (CLICK HERE to check out the website.) Laura and I knew we really wanted to go to the concert. We had been invited to go to a pub, but I couldn't imagine turning down Bobby McFerrin for a pub. Briana is coming down with a cold, so she decided to stay in for the night.

At around 7:30, we headed over to the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in the city centre. We ended up having to take a taxi half of the way because we were running a little late. Once we arrived at the concert hall, we bought our tickets and went to our FRONT ROW BALCONY seats! The concert was unbelievable. Bobby McFerrin is incredible and I feel so lucky to have been able to see him perform live. He is really into audience participation, so I found myself singing and humming throughout most of the concert. He invited people onstage to dance and sing with him, and it was all entertaining. I even snuck a few pictures of him, one of which you can see below. It seemed like the concert went on for a while and I was expecting my watch to say 11pm at the end of the concert, but it was only 10pm. Laura and I were hungry so we went to a little grab and go food place and ate there before heading home. Now we are back at the flat, I'm so full from dinner, and I have class tomorrow at 9:30 at the Glasgow School of Art. I'll need to leave for the subway around 9am to get there on time...I don't think that will be too hard for me, I just need to go to sleep soon.

Goodnight...I love and miss you all!

Love Always,
