Today is the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert "Rabbie" Burns. He is considered one of the greatest poets from Scotland as most of his poems, such as To a Mouse and Tam o' Shanter (his best known works), are written in Scottish. Perhaps his most famous is the song Auld Lang Syne, which is sung at the end of the year. (I may know some of the lyrics, but I'd be lost with the lyrics sheet, I must admit.)
Here's a link to a website that can translate English with a Scottish accent. Great fun.
This week is mostly reading week here at college with the end of the first semester approaching. Semester two begins either next week or the week after, I'm not sure which.
I hope that the next semester goes well for everyone here at college.
Wish us all luck.
