Easter Eggs and excitement

Easter in our neck of the woods was very exciting! we had a group of 13 Americans come and visit us for the duration of Holy Week. We had great fun showing them the delights and wonders of Scotland. I stayed at my grans house for the week with my American sisters! Karen, Lori and Chrissy Jilek. (as pictured above, l-r Karen, Lori and Chrissy.) Their mum and dad were staying at my house with my parents and bro.

There was lots of late nights and lots of banter and card playing! I also managed to squeeze in... to a hole and a grave! hmm, dont worry, i worry about myself too! hehehe!

After our American friends left on the Saturday my familiy headed up to Kirkcaldy for a nice relaxing weekend with the Frews! On Easter Monday they took us ice skating, which was soo much fun. Peter (10) is on the Kirkcaldy under 12s ice hockey team and Bex (7) has figure skating lessons, so they were both giving me tips on ice skating and they taught me how to do cross overs! yay! and i only wiped out once which was when the time was up and i must have mis calculated my steps to get off the ice and fell flat on my back side! it was rathe amusing!

Since then Ive been back at uni learning of all the things that i need to get done in the next month! I may not have any exams, but i have 5 assignments giving a combined total of 11,000 words to write! oh yeah and 2 presentations! but not to worry one month exactly from today and it will all be over!

'a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.'
