IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

Had my presentation today. So I had to dress slightly smarter than usual, hence the dress. Not super formal, especially as I had my thermal top on underneath. I thought it was going to be really cold. It wasn't, I was boiled, and had a cardigan on too because I couldn't have gone with my thermal sleeves out!  (excuse my face, I'd been tossing+turning all night and woke up mad early)

 I think it went well, the presentation that is, I hope. People said it was great..which is a pretty big compliment as I don't remember hearing that being said to anyone else..I don't know, maybe I just wasn't listening. Anyway I felt it went well anyway, which is important. I think. Oh I don't know, the thing with these things is that your marker/tutor/teacher/lecturer mightn't have liked it and then you're screwed. However, I made him laugh so I feel that that's a positive (?)

So I headed home because I felt I deserved it. It was such a lovely day and I'd finally completed all my coursework ( handed in some more yesterday) so I grabbed a snack (above) of pumpkin seeds roasted with garlic powder (YUM!) and headed up the Salisbury Crags. The views were spectacular; such blues! I romped around for quite a while.

Did a few sprints down the bottom and then up the hill, and found a new place (which I slid around in like a small child + got a few splinters in myself). I checked no one was around and just played. It was great. I know, I know, I'm 20 years old, but sometimes you just have to play, even when you're by yourself.

 Stopped for a snack and a quick selfie at the top. I packed the last of my nakd bars (apple pie) and it was lovely, to just look over Edinburgh, snacking on a healthy bar, seeing the snow on the Pentlands in the distance (below), in the sun..although it was windy

I hear its been snowing at home. Madness! I fly tomorrow so I'll see how that goes.

Stay cool, xo


Dress, Topshop; Thermals, Hand-me-downs so no idea :]

I would walk 500 miles (if I didn't have to study)

 Today was a lovely day in Edinburgh, Easter Monday, however I yet again spent the majority of my day indoors, studying. Why my university decides that Easter should not be a holiday, I do not know!? It was the perfect day for climbing, however I didn't get to. (click this picture to see it for all its glory)

 So I hear you ask, what are these pictures about then? This is my favourite rambling place in Edinburgh; the Crags, which I climbed the last time the weather was nice (about 4 weeks ago) and I had yet to post them. I hope you enjoy. Its a fantastic walk, a bit of scrambling up rocks too, which I found rather enjoyable.

 The photo below is of Arthur's Seat, which apparently was/is a volcano? It gets a LOT of visitors, which is why I prefer the Crags, less touristy=less busy, more free space. I walked Arthur's Seat once and really didn't enjoy, I was scared of falling plus there were SO many people around.

What's great about the Crags is that you can see Arthur's Seat as well as Edinburgh .

I hope you had a lovely Easter Monday and enjoyed your weekend off. I look forward to my next weekend off in about 7 weeks (my last exam in May 23rd!) Although I'm heading home this weekend so maybe I'll take that off too, bit cheeky I know, considering exams are looming.
