Ugh. Who knew internet was so precious? And so fickle? We bought the top-up card last night, but couldn't get it to work.
After leaving the cafe last night, we walked until we found a place to eat, a cute little place that served Indian food, American burgers, and pizza. We split a pizza and some chips (french fries). Then we walked to the Asda (Wal-Mart) and got a few basic things. When we got back to the house, all four of us watched "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," which we got from Blockbuster. Apparently, you can get 2 weeks free rentals if you sign up with them, so we jumped on that. The movie was weird... and difficult to follow. We just went to bed after.
The glories of waking up whenever you want, with no alarm! The sun streaming in, cozied up under a duvet... Ahh... It was heavenly. We all got up and got ready, and then took the bus to the train station and took the train into Glasgow. We walked the wrong way for a while (seems to be our plight) and finally found the Gallery of Modern Art where we thought we could get free Wi-Fi. Nope. Need a library card. Then we found a cafe with free Wi-Fi. Nope they have no space for us. Finally, a Starbucks! ::Insert Hallelujah chorus here::
It all feels so surreal. Sometimes I don't really feel like I'm in Scotland, but then someone opens their mouth and I remember. It is funny to listen to my students talk because I can't always understand them. I have to ask them to repeat themselves like 3 or 4 times! I also can't believe that one week is done. 6 weeks at Warren Central seemed an eternity; six weeks here seems like nothing.
But I am rejoicing in every little moment and thanking the Lord for the opportunity to be here. Still praying about the funds, but I trust He will provide.
Blessings.
