Wednesday May 4th/ Thursday May 5th
We had the morning off to sleep, relax and enjoy Stonehaven. I bought sn additional memory card so I could take many more pictures. Danielle and I decided to try out two different local bakeries. A little later me and Tiana and Katie went out for fish and chips at the place of the fried marz bar. We split one and that was enough. Before the bus we also got ice cream. It was an intense day in the sweets department. We left on the bus to go to the Lewis Grassic Gibbon museum. He was the author of Sunset Song and many other Scottish novels. We visited the grave and then visited the information center to gain a history of him. Afterwards we had a dinner prepared by the museum and it didn't make me feel great. We then returned back to the hotel for an early night. I wasn't feeling too great before bed so I ate a banana. I woke up at 4:40 sweating and feeling dizzy. I drank some water then threw up, then tried to go back to bed and threw up again. In then morning I was dizzy, threw up the other end then tried to drink some water and a bite of toast. I was feeling better with fresh air until I ate a mini cliff bar. Then I had to miss the political science lecture at Aberdeen University to sit outside and go to the pharmacy. The campus tour of Aberdeen University was amazing. The old campus had many flowers and plants giving it a timeless, magical and conductive learning environment comparable to Hagwarts. I was most impressed by their sports facility. It was amazing. It had three full turf indoor courts and pretty much anything you could think of. I was also impressed by the zebra print windowed library that was being finished for september. People were friendly, the campus had about 16,000 students and is ranked 117 in then world for best colleges. The tour was very satisfying and afterwards we jumped on a train for Dunkeld. We passed the burning oak from Macbeth on foot it was neat. The hotel is very rustic with tartan carpet and tartan couches. It's an older hotel but very nice. After dinner, our second Scottish professor, Ken Steven who is an author with a voice of an angel is known for his poetry, time as visiting prof. at Alma, excellent Scottish history and BBC readings. Ken is a gentle person and a new father who makes me smile every time he talks. we had the honor of listening to him recite some of his poetry. It was truly excellent.I got him to sign my book that was truly excellent as well.
