So today was a really good day folks. I met up with Roxie this afternoon and we ventured over to the University to see about our starter kits of cookware and perhaps getting Roxie into her room and out of the various hostels she's been staying at. Once we got that settled (she's now in the room next to mine so living is a little less lonely) we decided to go on a thrift store adventure. We found some amazing finds: she got a great pea coat for 5 pounds, we both got awesome clothes at the 99 pence thrift store, I got this kick ass sequinsy skirt, and we both got really cheap hangers. We then had lunch at a little cafe and headed back to the dorms. We then went grocery shopping and through our collective budgeting skills managed to get a few cheap dinner options for the next few days and enough sandwich material to last a long while.
After dinner, Caitlin arrived. She's been in London for a while and is now moved into the dorm next to ours. We decided that since she was hungry and we were ready to finally hit the pub scene we would go out. We ended up at Lebowski's, which the best way to describe is simply epic. Roxie and I of course had white russians and as it turns out, there are about 10 different white russian varieties at the bar, with names like "the Dude," "the Walter," and "the Saddam." Since I love the movie and of course am a patriotic American, it is my goal to try every white russian variation while I am here (not in one night mom and dad). We then finished off with Guinness and Tennets and have plans to hit up the museums and clubs tomorrow. With a few more people here now, I think the next week or so will be an amazing whirlwind of Scottish life.

Sounds like you had a fabulous day Ash...who would've thunk that there would be a pub nearby named after one of your favorite movies! So glad you have some company now too!
Meet any nihilists?
Ah no, no nihilists unfortunately
