Whee~
I'm happy I wrote about 300 words for my dissertation.
Though I guess it's high time I should :)
But WHEEEE~ anyhow

I dreamt last night
That I was travelling with Huiyan and Shunling and Nic and Rui :)
As though Huiyan was still in the UK doing exchange
And Shunling wasn't in China
And Rui wasn't in the US already
Time flies~

i know what i should like to do :)
reading an article about the anachronism of the nation-state, and distracted by thoughts of the Foundation series by Asimov. i feel like i should like to write a science-fiction story, exploring the possibility of alternative modes of human organisation.
i feel nerdy.

the whole city seems to have quietened down.
from the library windows and the deathly silence, the grey clouds loom over the entire city, as far as i can see.
walking past george square, the hullabaloo has died down, all that is left are a few quiet old shacks, halfway dismantled.
arthur's seat is for once empty of tourists.
and maybe on royal mile, the performers are packing up.
everyone is going home.
after all, the festival is over.

the military tattoo
as we surged into the area before the castle, searching for our seats, a small band of about ten smartly dressed men entertained - the police band? as we passed by one of the exits which they were standing near to, it suddenly struck me that i'm 'up close and personal' to one of the biggest international performance in the world :) the performers felt so close i felt like i could just run out and touch them (before getting arrested and dragged away by the security people HAHA). i didn't of course x.x
tbc.

omg. i haven't been blogging. what if... what if i forget... this exhilarating week!
saturday. the world-famous edinburgh military tattoo. the excitement is amazing. just cos it's a world-famous thing and cos i'm attending it (i know i'm a bimbo x.x) and to be honest, i didn't know much about it (though i've seen pictures of bagpipe bands and stuff and i've seen the stands when i visited the castle after the event x.x)
firstly the queue. royal mile has been really crowded these days, but this is unbelievable. a boy shuffling behind me mutters: mom, i've heard of a traffic jam, but this? humans? if there were a step in front of me, i doubt i'd have seen it. not to mention i was juggling my bag, my subway sandwiches in one hand and the subway cookies in the other and considering whether to take my camera out and capture the magnificent queue.
we saw the entrance to the castle but the guy 'strangely' directed us to the left, and just as we were wondering, we saw the queue that wound down shandwick terrace (it's a bloody long terrace in case u were wondering) and so we joined the queue, subway in the mouth looking spectacularly unglam, and the rest of the 'early' people in the queue ogling at you as if you were some exhibit.
