If you're not careful, a torrent of romantic notions will instantly pummel your overactive imagination and knock the wind right out of you. I should know, I am one of those romantic people. Seriously, could you blame me? If the sight of a loch doesn't send your heart a-flutter or the sound of a bagpipe move you to tears - how detached and insensitive can you be? Could any man look more masculine in a glorified skirt? I submit that they cannot! But enough with the rhetorical questions; the purpose of this journal is to record my adventures in Scotland. I am fortunate enough to be spending a little over four months in this enchanting country, and crazy enough to have made a substantial list of what I hope to accomplish during that time. Studies, I must remember, will take up the chief portion of my stay - but certainly I can manage to enjoy a few offerings of the kingdom. Can't I?
I've asked God to season this upcoming semester with blessings and lessons - let's see where this goes, shall we?
