Hail?

The first and only alarm (though another was set) went off at 7 this morning. I just rolled over. I did get up at about 7:30 though so ya me since I went to bed at about 12:30. I love not getting that much sleep, just kidding, but it's my choice so I can't really complain (darn it.) Our only planned activity for the day was traveling to Lochness and seeing Urqhait Castle. We were at the bus station at about 9:30 and may I just add all of the girls were ready before the boys. It was really windy and cold on the boat but the area surrounding the lake was beautiful. Unfortunatly my camera died so I will be stealing shots from other people on facebook because I got none of the castle at all. The Castle was once again in ruins and honestly not as cool as the first one. Maybe because it was the second set of ruins we have seen in less than a week, I don't know. There was a gift shop and I got some good stuff for my mom and sister. At the gift shop you could also watch an 8 minute video about the history of the castle. The video was informative and interesting. On the way back I fell asleep on the bus. It wasn't a long ride but long enough for me to fall asleep with my mouth open. At least I was sitting with Mara and she didn't take any photos of me. I did wake up for our Professers son throwing up on the bus. Katelynd, Mara, and I after we got off the bus got some bread, cheese, and chicken for lunch. It's the cheapest thing to do and it's not a bad meal. We came back and caught up on homework and journals, which is why there are three posts added today :) It hailed while I was on my computer talking to my mom. I took another nap today for about an hour. That was really nice but my feet were cold. For dinner I went with Courtney, Mara, Katelynd, Chris, and Lee for dinner at a pub called Smith and Jones. It was probably one of the cheapest places in town and it was really good food, I enjoyed it. After dinner we walked to a large grocery store where I got a pint of milk. It was so very cute, but I didn't get a picture of it. Once we returned to the hostle I sat watching while Mara, Cartrite, Jake, and Lee played Eurcher. Jake and Lee won pretty bad against Mara and Cartrite. Now here we are. Another day of not doing a whole ton but I can't just go go go everyday, I need little breaks every once and a while. At least I can have a break in a pretty city.
