Are you Chelsey?

I LOVE America!
Probably the greatest question I have been asked since coming here. I got back from class, started editing my paper like a good student and heard a knock at the door. When I answered, and saw who was standing there I became the happiest person! Receiving mail is always exciting, but a package is even better especially when filled with food they don't have in Scotland.

The UPS men asked so nicely if I was Chelsey and to sign, well I was so excited to see my package on the ground that I could barely sign my name. He had to ask me what my last name was just to clarify!

So instead of coming back and finishing editing my paper, I ripped opened the box to see all of this WONDERFUL food starring me in the face. The sight of yummy food, well actually snacks in this case, can really make a day so much better. The only way I can describe to you my excitement is to say I instantly went on Facebook to update my status as "Just got the best care package in the world!!!". The even sadder part about not only updating my status to let everyone know how excited I am to have gotten this, within five minutes five different people "liked" my status, each of them either being abroad now or have already been abroad. Obviously care packages are a BIG deal and very EXCITING to get.

After a lot of thought and counting I have come to realize if I have one of everything once a week, I will have enough to get me through the semester. Hmm, so what should be my first American snack for the day? So many choices, I just don't know what to pick!

Thank you Dad and Mom!

    I totally agree on the Honey Nut Cheerios and the Goldfish... But you can keep the rest. Haven't you discovered Cadbury Chocolate yet? Cadbury Cream Eggs? Pakora? Curry in general.... Pasties? Sausage rolls! Fish and Chips? What about our crisps (must better than US crisps....). And, what about Pork Scratchings! Yum! You should ask for Pork Scratchings the next time you are in the pub (Also, UK Baked Beans, oh and our bread, is generally much better than in the US). And, last but not least, our tea!

    (If this doesn't get me flamed then, well.....)

    I an just on my way to the post office to mail you the CC cookies...before I eat them all.
    Hope they will arrive safely. Alas, the Steelers lost the Super Bowl. One too many turnovers. So you will not be receiving the terrible towel. It is not worthy.

    P.S. May enclose some pretzels...not sure what kind you like though...it'll have to be a surprise.

    Hi Chelsey, Hope you're still enjoying being in Edinburgh!
    And must admit, have to agree with Nick and his comments :)
    But its funny the foods from home that you crave and miss when you can't get them!

    Oh and have you tried a deep fried mars bar yet?
    Enjoy!
