SUPERBOWL...in Scotland?!

Alexa, Cahrissa, Haley, Katie, and me at the Sports Pub

Well even though the Giants didn't make it to the Superbowl and I am not really a fan of the Packers or Steelers, I was still looking forward to watching the Superbowl in Edinburgh and seeing how Scottish people react to this wonderful game.

On Sunday night around 10, we headed to the Sports pub on campus to have a few pints and actually watch American football for the first time since we left to come here. The pub was full of either a. Americans who were actually interested in the game, b. Scots who came to drink and enjoy watching some sort of sports, or c. really drunk people and/or girls who had no idea what was going on; so really your typical pub/bar. We found some seats, settled in, and waited for an hour and a half until the game started. Once it did, I felt like I was at home. There would be all this chatter and then once someone made a good play, people would stand up and start cheering. However, we were told they would be live streaming the broadcast, and so we would be able to see the commercials, which is the best part of the Superbowl, but within 5 minutes we realized we were not told the right thing. So instead of watching the commercials (which I ended up watching Monday) we had to listen to three men make some stupid comments about the game, while the commercials were airing in the States. 

The game ended around 3 and I came back to my room to sleep for a few hours before I would have to get up and go to some ridiculous Biblical class. I would say that I enjoyed watching the game here, but I would much preferred watching it in my room back at school in my comfy clothes. Oh well, it never hurts to do something different once in awhile!

Only 6 more weeks of classes left (thank heaven!); but I am stressing hard core. When you are abroad, you shouldn't be stressing, so I would like to thank the Uni and RWU for making my life miserable this week.

Keep the time moving!
