Edinburgh Christmas Market

Edinburgh is already being caught up in all the festivities in spite of me being caught up in exams. Princes Street, the main shopping area has been transformed into this winter wonderland with the ice rink, decorations and German Christmas market. They look amazing with the Edinburgh Castle as the backdrop. 

It's a nice place to walk around and soak in the festive vibe while munching on some really good waffles. People have been going on and on about how amazing the mulled wine is, but I think that it's just hot wine. Then again, I've never been a fan of wine. Can't wait to take the family here when they come up to visit next week.

Just had my first exam today. I thought it went alright despite a few rather stupid mistakes but that's done and there's nothing I can do about it except moan (how does one mistake protein kinase for phospholipase??). Final one will be next Tuesday and then I will be permitted to start getting into the whole Christmas mood. Loads of festivities to catch up on considering that people down in London already had a two week head start. It'll be worth the effort of turning cave-like over the past three weeks or so.
