10 Reasons Why I'll be Just Fine in Scotland

  1. My coworkers made fun of me today for calling someone a "nutter." I was completely unaware that this was not a normal term here.
  2. I made fish and chips for supper. With malt vinegar.
  3. Most of the movies in my iTunes are made in Britain, set in Britain, and half of the TV shows I have are set in Scotland.
  4. I spend my afternoons reading Scottish literature and criticisms on it. And I enjoy every minute of it.
  5. I don't have to look up the call number for a book in the Scottish lit section of the library.
  6. I find Irn Bru to be the best soda ever. If only it didn't cost so much here.
  7. The novel I'm writing is set in Scotland.
  8. When I see the mountains here I miss the heather-covered mountains of Scotland.
  9. I love rain. Way too much.
  10. Scotland has Mueller's corner yogurt. I will eat it every day, and laugh at Drew because she doesn't get to.

I miss corner yogurt so much!! I have many memories of eating it on hikes, often without spoons, which is pretty tricky.

Ha, and then I laugh at you for eating it...no wait, that doesn't work *cries*.
