Guess what time it is??

Finals.  Exams.  Whatever you call them, they feel the same (as explored here).  And just like in Cape Town, its ridiculously cold here for spring finals!  Who do they think they are?  Making me miss Ithaca... Who woulda thunk?  Although, to be fair, all the emails coming from Cornell at the moment are not making me excited to return.  Cornell, its time to pull yourself together.  Really though.

 This is definitely not what I should be writing right now, and all I can say is if this is me a year before I graduate, I can't even begin to imagine what senioritis is going to be...  Not pretty on me.  I can tell you that for sure.  I'm starting to wonder if the only thing I've learned to do in all of my university time is to procrastinate.  Well, that and make up crazy things up with lots of big words and call them intellectual English papers.  My major is in... well you know what, but I'm not going to say it...  Ahem.

I did go on a pretty cool outing last week.  Wednesday was the last day of Ridvan (the 12 days of Ridvan are the holiest Baha'i holy days), and I went on a hike with some awesome people up in the Pentland Hills.  We walked up pretty substantial hills for a few hours and then stopped at the top of the tallest one.  When we first arrived the entire hilltop was covered in fog, but as we sat there it cleared and the view was gorgeous.  It was magical.

The pictures definitely don't do it justice, but here's one anyway...

Also, cherry blossoms have come to Edinburgh, which is fantastically fabulous.  I love pink.

Unfortunately for my productivity levels, these make the view outside of the library windows that much more beautiful and make my work progress in the minutest of ways.

My momma is arriving in twelve days, and between now and then I have to live in the library... So if you hear from me, tell me to go back to the library, cause there is no excuse.  I'll probably be around here and here, but hopefully not too much...

Love love.
