I am the king of the world

Our group in front of the castle. hey, who is that funny looking guy in the back with the red hat?

Going on a rampage!

doing some acrobatics in our room

Some picture at our hostel, the castle rock. It was a really nice place with a pool table, movie room, and full kitchen (not that I actually used the kitchen). Since I went to Edinburgh with 10 other people we got our own room with bunk beds. All the people that worked at the hostel were really helpful and besides a slight musty smell in our room, which apparently came from this Aussie's socks who stayed in the room for the first night, the place was impeccable.

You see that huge freeking mountain behind me, guess what? I climbed it. The hike took us about 2 hours to get to the very top of Archer's seat. At the peak we saw a Scottish guy running around in tighty whities and one of our friends experienced the painful consequence of pissing into the wind

This is the humongous castle which sits smack dab in the middle of Edinburgh. It's the main tourist attraction in the city and there is a bunch of museum-type stuff inside including...the Stone of Destiny!

John and Carly, two chillers from my hall. I'm going to start taking breakdancing classes with John so when I come back to the states I will break out some crazy dance moves.

This is someone playing around with light sicks in my room, thanks Hal-baby. I have met a lot of cool people from the States in my hall. We share a kitchen and I'm going to Edinburgh, Scotland with them!

This is a pond close to my school. The University of Sussex is surrounded by farm fields. The first day I was here I had a show down with a group of cows. The City of Brighton is about a 15 minute bus ride away. Brighton is a pretty big place and it is known for being a vacation spot for Londonders because it is only about an hour away from London. It has a bunch of nightclubs and pubs, most of them along the waterfront

yeah so this is my room. pretty standard but I get a sink which is nice and it's bigger then most singles at Oxy.
