I’ve discovered while working at beautiful ranches in Wyoming surrounded by stunning scenery, and now again here in Aberdeen, that the scenery and beauty of the location become commonplace while the friendships and daily laughs are, in the end, what is really tough to say goodbye to. I was lucky enough to have a solid group of funny and sincere friends, who made me feel welcome and excited about my time in Aberdeen. It takes a special quality of person to invest in a friendship with a person they know will only be around for three months and who, because of geographical constraints, they may not see for a significant period of time. It allows for a variety of perspectives that the United States seems to lack in a lot of areas, and allowed me to discover and learn a lot about how other parts of the world operate. I didn’t factor in the fact that there are teachers and students from all over the world and particularly Europe, and a lot of them. Coming here I naively thought that it would be pretty much all Scottish teachers and students. And it’s not just the Scottish people it’s also the variety of Europeans I’ve met. So what, then, makes Scotland special? Why has it been nothing short of an absolute pleasure to spend three and a half months here? Haggis is a taste I’ve yet to acquire, its lack of sexiness no longer a mystery to my pampered American palate, and “Braveheart” is somewhat tainted by the fact that the “William Wallace” Mel Gibson has rightfully become the Mel Gibson who has hit such a rock bottom that he is starring in “Daddy’s Home 2.” The beer, whiskey and soccer, however, did live up to the hype. Susan Boyle was nowhere to be found, probably dining on wine, cheese and fresh fruit in Saint Tropez, and Groundskeeper Willie was of course busy tending to his drunken duties at Springfield Elementary.
What’s not to love?Īs it turns out, they almost never wear kilts here, barring formal occasions, and I think I might have heard bagpipes only once or twice. Susan Boyle melted my heart back in 2009. The fact that it was on the coast seemed appealing. Oh sorry, did I say Paris? I meant Pittsburgh), where I could take political science classes taught in English.
Aberdeen, Scotland, more or less, was really the only remaining option, outside of a few landlocked cities in England (oh Birmingham, what could have been.

Supposedly, writer, John Swartzwelder stops by the sub.After applying for the George J.We also won't let you shill the Eddie Stobart trucking company. We no longer will allow you all to shill the MALK company's products and now remove them.So some political posts are allowed, but if you're completely changing a quote/image just for political reasons it can be removed. The Simpsons has always had politics within the show.

Note: The Simpsons have made fun of politics pretty much since its inception and there will be political posts from time to time because of that. (Images, videos, quotes, news, articles, thoughts, trivia, etc.) Everything related to The Simpsons! Check out /r/SimpsonsShitposting if that's your thing.
