Going To Cambridge!

No more lectures in Year 1, no more tutorials, just studying for the exams in late April and early May.

Easter holidays have now began and everyone’s off to soak up some sun, snow, shopping, or a few weeks with parents and friends back home.

We, on the other hand, are not going to a sunny place, or a snowy place, or even a place know for its shopping. No, we are going to Cambridge, England for a week. On second thought, it might be sunnier down south than in rainy Scotland.

It’s 8:30 in the morning and I’m writing this from a train about to leave from Glasgow’s Queen Street Station to Edinburgh, where we’ll change trains. Then we’re off to York (another change of trains), Peterborough (another change) and finally arriving in Cambridge at 16:17.

For those too lazy to do the math, that’s almost an 8 hour trip through a bit of Scotland and quite a bit of England.

When we come back in a week, there’ll be lots and lots of photos posted and I’ll write up a little recap of the little holiday. In the meantime, I’ll be twittering the trip, beginning right now as the train leaves the station. (For those of you who live in a cave, Twitter is a microblogging site where one posts blog posts in 140 characters or less.)
