back in the game

I realize I am not in Scotland anymore but the title still fits because it is literally all I can think about. I miss it so much and it literally hurts to be back at Georgetown. Of course, I am glad to see my friends, but I even miss the smelly fish shop I had to walk by to get to class in Edinburgh. Classes here are so-so as much of the time many of the students still like to pretend they are in High School. There is something truly wonderful about sitting in a classroom of people who have an avid interest in learning which is what I had in my 3rd/4th year class at Edinburgh. The professors at Georgetown are great, yet the students don't realize this and take advantage of them. I wish I could combine the two. Also, I have picked up a history major as of yesterday. So I mean...I guess that's cool. The stress weighs me down and honestly I don't see the importance of half of the stuff that seems so important to my peers. College isn't about when you want to party or who is dating who. It is about the learning process and getting an education. I feel like I have grown a lot being on my own for six months and don't want to revert back to the way I was.
