Some interesting things about Scotland...

Ok. So, I've been here a few days, and I'm starting to notice some differences between Scotland and the U.S. And no, I am not counting the accent or the fact they drive on the wrong side of the road. I've noticed that smoking is allowed on campus, which I am not comfortable with-at Oklahoma State University smoking is not allowed on campus. Also, in Stirling itself is where I've seen a lot of smokers, much more than the U.S. Also they say "Cheers"as a greeting either as hello or goodbye. I haven't seen very many of the native Scots meandering down the street. They all seem to be on a pretty tight schedule, but they are quite friendly. I am starting to get the coins figured out! This is the first day I have gone where I haven't had to get the cashier to help me get it right. It's nice that I'm starting to blend in. I do miss home-everything is not as convienent as I am used to. To go to the grocery store, you really do have to plan ahead. I pretty much went straight from class into town without coming back to my room. So, I was gone for about 7 hours. But it was fun because I went with two other girls from my Scottish History class-we all get along pretty well.
