I've finally settled into daily life here; as much as I'd like it to feel like a year-long vacation, reality has to set in at some point (mostly in the form of essays). I did manage to get out to Falkland Palace a couple of weeks ago, which is where Mary, Queen of Scots and some of her predecessors lived. My visit included getting seeing a real tennis court and some phenomenally old decor inside the palace. Seeing the crest of St. Andrew in the chapel also led me to look up what miracles, if any, he performed to deserve the title of saint. Sadly, my search came up dry.
A few days after this visit I came down with something that had a swine-flu quality to it. My normal remedy for battling illness, running such ailments off, failed me miserably, so I resorted to my backup strategy: chocolate milk excess. Six liters in six days, and by the end I was feeling great. (Actually, I was feeling normal by day two of this treatment–I just really like chocolate milk. And it was on sale.)
Nothing much else has happened. I've been writing a couple of articles for local magazines; I posted one below just for fun (I was mostly just excited that I could post to my blog directly from Google Docs). For those of you in school this is probably one to be avoided, but for everyone else it's a pretty good summary of what I did during my internship this summer. Click on the image to see the whole thing.
Hope life finds you all well. I have next week off, so if all goes I'll be able to report something exciting and dangerous–like endorsing the Copenhagen Interpretation.
