We officially started our semester classes at the end of January, and we are currently fully in the swing of assignments, tests, and more.

My second month in Scotland has been far busier than the first, packed with travel, good food and of course, more coursework. I began the month at a school-organized Ceilidh, a traditional Scottish dance that involves large choreographed dances in groups and with partners. At first, it was difficult keeping up with the Scottish dancers,…
