A belly full of haggis, chips, ice cream and a bee sting

Yes, it's in the title. I tried haggis. And it's actually not that bad...tastes like a spicy burger. Seriously; I thought I would hate it, but it was actually pretty good. My dad didn't think I would try it....so THERE DAD!!! hahaha. The venue was the Allan Water cafe, which was located at the Bridge of Allan, a town nearby the Uni. It was really fun and the atmosphere was nice and friendly. Prior to getting food, we went on a scenic walk around the town called Darn Hill (I am NOT making up that name). It reminded me of hiking Anglin Falls and the Pinnacles back in good ol' Berea; just full of vibrant scenery and a rushing river to look at periodically.

After the walk came ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was provided by the ISS coordinator, so we could have pretty much what we wanted. I got a double scoop of cookies and cream and mint chocolate chip...before I ate my actual dinner. What a treat! Probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had in my life...super super tasty! Then me and my two friends actually got dinner...I decided to be bold and tried battered haggis. Like I said, tastes like a burger. Really...it's not that bad. They gave me 2 pieces, but I only ate one because I was still pretty full from the double scoop of ice cream I got prior to eating. Oh well. On the way back to campus, I suddenly felt a burning sensation below my collar bone. I yelped and looked down to discover a small bee sitting there! So out of instinct I flicked it off; thanks to my buddy Andrea for pulling the STINGER OUT of my flesh!!!! Yeah...still in a bit of pain right now, just waiting for the feeling of being poked with a hot stick to go away. As the saying holds, this too shall pass.

On the agenda now, hopefully going to try and finish my paper, granted my bee sting stops...stinging. It just looks like an angry sunburn right now, but I've got an ice pack in the freezer screaming my name here in a wee bit. Tomorrow; DOUNE CASTLE!!! Looking oh so forward to it. That's all for now, time to chillax tonight. Cheers!

That's what Haggis looks like. Pretty tasty

Where the pesky varmit got me >.<
