Getting Down to Busy-ness
Posted by Kalie on November 29, 2009
Sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of weeks! It has been very busy for me lately. My parents and Shawn came to visit this past week, which was great! But I had three 2,000 word essays due (well, two…I got an extension on one of them) before and during their stay, so […]

A Wee Moment – November 14
Posted by Kalie on November 14, 2009
Lately I’ve noticed a seagull outside my window. He stands in the grass stamping his feet in place like he’s dancing. He does this for hours at a time. Every time I see him I crack up! I’ve named him Stampy. You can (hopefully) check out a video of him ‘doing his thang’ by using […]

Global Worlds, Global Challenges – This is an introductory level one geography course. Basically it’s an umbrella course that covers all things related to geography. Some parts are pretty interesting (biodiversity), while others are not (economy). Last […]

An American/Scottish/Irish Weekend
Posted by Kalie on
Last weekend I had my first visitor, Lindsey! It’s complicated to explain how we know each other. Saying it the long way, she’s my sister’s friend’s husband’s little sister…but I suppose we’ll just stick with ‘friend’ for now. She is from Minnesota, but is studying in Dublin, Ireland for the year. She arrived at the […]

English Gentleman
Posted by Kalie on November 13, 2009
I had an encounter with the nicest chap from London last week. It ended with a free cab ride to the airport… My goal was to make it to the airport by 4pm to meet a friend who came to visit. It got to be 2:30 and I decided I should probably start getting ready […]

A Wee Moment – November 3
Posted by Kalie on November 3, 2009
I broke in my new wellies today and tested them by walking in the rain and jumping in puddles – they work! I love wearing wellies in Scotland! 😀

Kalie’s Umbrella
Posted by Kalie on
Kalie’s Umbrella unfurled one final time early November 3, 2009 at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Kalie’s Umbrella enjoyed a brief, yet fulfilling, life. It was given to Kalie by Megan Spath on the evening of September 4, 2009. It left its birthplace of Lincoln, Nebraska at only four days old. From there it […]

It’s The (Not So) Great Pumpkin
Posted by Kalie on November 2, 2009
I suppose all good things must come to an end (i.e. my jack-o-lantern). In this case, it came in the form of a moldy pumpkin. I woke up this morning to find the pumpkin that I’d carved had collapsed sometime during the night and covered in black mold (I swear this all happened overnight!). I […]

A Wee Moment – November 2
Posted by Kalie on
Today was the first day ever that I tasted a coffee drink I actually liked! Sandy gave me a drink mix from Hong Kong that was a special blend of tea and coffee. It was absolutely amazing! Even though I love the smell of coffee, and at one time even wanted to own a coffee […]

Halloween in Aberdeen
Posted by Kalie on
Halloween lived up to its scary reputation as I attempted to celebrate the holiday in Aberdeen… Nicki, Pauline, Joanna, and I got ready to go out for the night. None of them had celebrated Halloween before and were very excited! I dressed up as a “cereal killer” (small boxes of cereal fastened to my belt […]
