I am drinking tea in Edinburgh Now

SO! After months of a barren wasteland of whistling blog silence (shhhhhhhhhhh), I am in Edinburgh and staying for a bit. The decision process went something kind of like this (I think it's easier if I present it in a timeline):

1. Finish work in Cambodia, travel rural Cambodia, go to Hong Kong, go to SF, go to Scotland.
2. Get email from former professor asking if I can TA a class for her this spring (April-June).
3. Accept job offer that has just fallen out of the sky.
4. Find out ex-boyfriend will be fellow TA. Panic, recover.
5. Go to Spain with friends for 3 weeks.
6. Have an amazing time, but go back to Scotland for last week in Europe.
7. Have even more fun in Scotland, wish not to go home and sit around in NorCal until April.
8. Decide not to get on that plane, and to stay in Edinburgh.

This brings us up to the present moment, and the next step goes something like this:

9. ???

Hooray, Scotland! (Hmm, perhaps I should revive my old blog, Julia Goes to Scotland. Or start a new one: Julia Goes Back to Scotland?)
