BBC- to be or not to be?

After saying no to the BBC (why did I do that in the first place WHYY?) my workmate urged me to contact them again and ask if the placement was still open. So I did and they kept me waiting for almost a week before they said that it was ok and that I could come the last 2 weeks of May. They just wanted to talk to the producer and see if these exact dates would be ok. Confident that this would work out I headed to my friend Sigga in Edinburgh and then found out that the whole crew will be away this whole time !!! It seems like its not meant to happen but they asked me to reapply and I could possible go there in September for few weeks... I don't know what I will do, the main reason why I want to go now is to find out what characters BBC contains. Are they animal lovers or just film lovers?

So here I am in Edinburgh and wow what a city :) Last night me and Sigga went on a ghost tour where we were taken down the vaults and cemetery and told (true) ghost stories in the darkness. The guide was such a good storyteller that at one point she said BOOO in the middle of a sentence and I totally panicked and started laughing hysterically :D Has never happened to me before. Very scary stuff and very scary city in the old times. But I'm loving it and will enjoy the city for one more day. Tomorrow I am heading towards Oxford again, will miss the Scottish highlands for sure but it will be good to start reading up for my project.
