Weekend: Day 1 of 4. "Ze Poof"

Today I woke up fully rested after a solid NINE hours of sleep. Felt amazing. Made a massive breakfast consisting of a Tornado Joe-style ham, onion, and cheese omlette, a few slices of bacon, peanut butter toast, and apple juice. I debated eating some cereal too, but I was full. It was grand! After that I read for about two hours, then Scott and I went to the gym for an hour. The gym is alright, much smaller than anything at Iowa, but it'll get the job done. I'm joining the basketball club, which meets on Tuesdays, so that will be the start of my European basketball career! After the gym I came home and showered, then walked to the city centre to meet up with my comrades who were out shopping. Meredyth and Sarah brought one of their other flatmates, Vickie from Germany, so it was cool to meet another person! We walked around, looked at some cool clothes, and stopped for lunch at a restaurant called "Dimaggio's," which I think was dedicated to Joe Dimaggio. Interesting. After we shopped we went back to our apartments to make ourselves supper, then we reconvened and went down to a few pubs and hung out. We then ventured to a new club with our Canadian friends where we knew two of the workers, so we got in fo' free! We also joined up with our two French friends, Jean-Christophe and Tim, who are both short and hilarious. It was a pretty fun night; we hit the dance floor and boogied for a few hours. Jean-Christophe has got some pretty awesome/hilarious dance moves, but he's no Andy Meisner.

Tomorrow there is an international student tour of Glasgow, so we'll all be meeting up for that, and I'll finally have a chance to take some pictures. I know you're dying to see some, so they'll be here soon! But for now I'm going to sleep, wake up, eat, and do some reading before the tour. 'Night!
