@Tschimm: Right?! I made it about a week and a half here before I came home carrying the first rescued Phal. (I was actually still so new here that I managed to get lost, carrying this Phal, halfway home. Picture this: a vet student walking around the streets of Edinburgh in the rain, looking lost, dragging around a loaded Ikea bag and a bare-stemmed orchid, with a half-crazed grin the whole time.)
I had to laugh at myself when I got home.
I guess you're right--I'll definitely head to the society meetings. I won't be able to make this one either way, with the exam schedule this week, but hopefully next month.
Thanks for the thoughts!

Awesome, thank you for the encouragement! I'm glad to hear good thoughts on Edinburgh--I'm certainly enjoying it so far here! Definitely not used to the lack of sun, but the mildness (relative to snowy, icy winters back home) is a welcome change.
I don't think I can resist, especially with all the support I'm getting on this--I'm going to have to start buying orchids. Time to research where to get them then, huh?
I'll keep you in mind, too, so that in 4.5/ish years' time, if you're still up for it, I can make sure some of my babies head to someone safe.
