Up Up Up


It's been a week of comedy brass bands, dates, cupcakes, food festivals, board games, cups of tea, late nights, Sunday roasts and giant pavlovas. It's been wonderful.


Which makes getting up ridiculously early on a Monday morning, for a clinic that ended up being a waste of time, even more annoying. Vive Le Weekend.

Full belly, empty pockets


Hello there. Sorry for the absence, I'm currently finishing off (I hope) my app AND completing/starting my neuroscience portfolio for Uni. And they say students are lazy, huh?

It's festival season in Edinburgh, and this comes with several pros and cons. 

Pros: I can get a crepe any time of the day or night. Not going to lie, this is a pretty big pro.
There are a lot of exciting new people drinking in exciting new venues [casual Medieval garden, anyone?].
There is now a mussel van, where you can buy moules frites! Yes! Basically, festival = food.

Cons: There are SO many people just wandering allll over the place, getting in the way of people with places to go [ie me].
Most, if not all, of the good shows cost money. Money that I need to eat. And delicious new raspberry Kopparberg also costs money.
A lot of my friends now have jobs for the festival, which equates to less free time for Emily. How selfish of them.

But hey, nothing beats Edinburgh in August. It's only money after all [strokes credit card tenderly]
