Edinburgh Digs!

Salient Quotes

Great news! I have been accepted to the University of Edinburgh! Pat is planning on applying as well, as for some reason that school never made it onto his list of prospectives. Fingers crossed!

I also wanted to share two excellent quotes from George Eliot's "Daniel Deronda":

"There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms."

"One couldn't carry on life comfortable without a little blindness to the fact that everything had been said better than we can put it ourselves."

Weekend Getaway in Corpus Christi, Texas

We had a great time galavanting around Corpus Christi, TX!

Here's the proof.

Ber manning some naval artillery.

Ber bouncing in a bunk. This was his favorite part of the whole thing... I'm pretty sure if he had his way, he would have tested out all 48 triple-bunk beds in the Foc'sle.

He also loved chillin' on the hotel bed--with a nice cold beverage, of course.

Having fun in the Mess Deck Cafe.
