Panorama of St. Andrews and the North Sea from St. Andrews’ famous Pier!

The North Sea to be exact! I’m back for semester 2 here at St. Andrews, and I’m feeling good!

St. Andrews

It is nice to go back to a place where you feel comfortable. My classes have begun; I’m taking two courses called Youth in Africa and Interpreting Social and Cultural Phenomena. I think its going to be a good semester!!

I’m also preparing myself for the entire month of March. I keep telling myself to calm down, but I think its going to be one of the best months of my life! The first week of March is Holy Cross spring break, which means that my friends Taylor and Vania are coming to St. Andrews to visit! I am so excited. We plan on going to a bunch of places in Scotland including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Loch Lomond, and more.

Rainy day on Market Street, St. Andrews

I have gotten really used to Scotland from the St. Andrews perspective, and now I am excited about exploring the whole country. After they leave, I have two weeks of Spring Break. I hope to travel during some of that time. I have so many ideas of where I want to go that I can’t decide!

Can’t wait to keep you posted on my semester! I’ve been back for a little over a week and it’s been cloudy and rainy since. In the last week and a half, I have probably seen 3 hours of sun TOTAL. I would say that I’m getting used to it, but it is honestly annoying. My friends and I keep joking about the rain and how I am literally vitamin D deficient! Despite my vitamin D deficiency, I’m happy. I live by the sea and can see it from my room.

Talk to you soon!

Jackie
