Oh, How the Lonely Tumble

Titles come easy. It's the writing that is much more difficult, if you will. Edinburgh is a lairy city. Edinburgh is like a unknown character written in a familiar book.

It snowed this morning, HARD.

More snow came down this morning than I think I've ever seen fall. Of course, it could have been that I was standing in front of a panoramic window that was about 20 yards tall and 50 yards wide. I've never taken in so much snow. There was snow dashing and dancing off of other snowflakes in the presumed attempt to stay in the air for as long as it could, but that's just them showing off, right?

I didn't feel right ending that last sentence in a question mark. Just didn't feel right because most of the sentence was a statement and just that one word tipped the scales at the end.

Sorry.

I did spend the later portion of the day out in the beautiful sunshine with temperatures in the 50's. Don't be shocked though, because that is kind of warm and I was wearing short sleeves.

News on the Language front:

I had a good talk with a man who taught ESL in Italy for 5 years. I told him what my project was and he said that it was a tall order. Not to mention that there are numerous places in the city that offer it for free anyway. So I would basically be fighting against a well ordered system that actually has professionals doing it. So I'm going to go see them tomorrow and see about sitting in on their courses.

So that's what's going on with me.
