"I Don't Wanna Be An American Idiot" (August 1)


First of all, sorry if the song is stuck in your head now...

Tonight my research group all went out to dinner together! We went out to a really good Greek place called Athena. Since there were 7 of us, we all got a huge sample menu meal and got TONS of food – so many different things! I tried so much. One of the girls is Greek, so she was able to explain everything to me – after I tried it, of course. :) Oh, sidenote. In a sense, Scottish people are smarter than us Americans. Ever thought about the word “entrée?” Meaning…“entrance?” As in…to the main dish? Yeah, I was so confused when they were talking about how we were eating the entrée and I freaked out and thought I should be eating more if that’s all the food we were getting. But no, it was our American appetizers. How did I never question the whole entrée thing?? Anyway, that's the whole "American idiot" title. :P

Just as dessert arrived, I had to rush out to make a movie at the cinema (theater…) with Fiona – we were off to see Ted! I saw it about a month ago and thought nothing of it…well, apparently it takes about a month for movies to get to Scotland. It was a special preview that night, and it was sold out! Bummer! So instead, we walked along streets in the pouring rain trying to get a taxi (& getting splashed instead…), then stopped to get chocolate before heading home and watching a chick flick on the couch. :)

I'll add pictures of dinner once they get posted on Facebook!
