Misplaced Holidays and Journeys into Town

Last night was eventful, a large group of ISS students all went into Stirling to hangout at the pubs. This morning, like every Wednesday morning here, I got the pleasure of being woken up by the fire alarm tests they run. It sounds similar to an air raid alarm. After my religion class, I finished a photography assignment, did some laundry and ventured into town with my flatmate for something to do. Tonight the university is throwing us a 4th of July party…on the 3rd of July. Also ironic since Britain is the country we’re celebrating gaining our independence from and they’re the ones throwing us the party. All irony aside, we’re very appreciative of the acknowledgement of this summer holiday and I’m enjoying the excuse to enjoy a few hot dogs.
