Winter is on its way

It is starting to get quite chilly and the days are getting significantly shorter (it's dark by 4:45 now). Winter is setting in. I went for a walk today because the sky was so clear and it was absolutely beautiful out. I went down to the beach to find some crazy surfers out, enjoying the waves. A little too chilly for me, I'm afraid.

On a completely unrelated note, I've been attending a church here called Holy Trinity of the Church of Scotland. I've been quite enjoying it, although I do find the assistant minister to be better than the head minister. It's a fantastic building that takes my breath away everytime I walk in. I love the organ and the choir there and the accoustics are excellent. So all in all, I've been enjoying myself in my mundane everyday life (however, it's still awesome that I live in such a great place). I've still been doing tons of reading and am starting to get a feel for what I'll be working on for my dissertation. I'm hoping to go on some crazy adventures over the next month so hopefully my entries will become a little more exciting.
