All Work No Play

But actually. haha been busy. So here is a quick overview of the fun parts. Otherwise just assume I'm locked up in my room doing research and writing papers.

On Burns night (he's a Scottish poet) we made haggis ourselves and had a proper Scottish meal, whisky and all.




Stuffing the Haggis

Nips and Tatties, Whisky, and of course Haggis!

Often you can find me on my floor in a "Nest" or blanket fort of surrounded by my work. It ends up looking something like this.



Last weekend was Ragnarok and the Viking Festival. Which means the city was rather crowded and it took extra long to get anywhere which was a little annoying. But it was really cool. They had skirmishes between the Viking and Anglo-Saxon camps. On the final night when Ragnarok was supposed to happen they had a reenactment of it which was AWESOME! 



Frost Giant

The Serpent 

Loki's Team

FIGHT!



amazing fireworks at the end!




and that is about all the update that I have. I've been working really hard on classes and papers and things. Life of a graduate student. 
This is a rather an amusingly accurate interpretation of my life right now. http://www.buzzfeed.com/tabathaleggett/new-term-resolutions-expectation-vs-reality
