I have survived a week. I arrived last Sat so I guess it is a little more than a week now. And this should have been written last night, so I am definitely over a week now. It has been an incredible week and I look forward to the many approaching.
Sunday I decided to head downtown again but this time do it on my own. I enjoy the wandering aspect without the constant need to keep up my end of the conversation. I learned some more about the bus system as well as how the subway works. I was able to find some great Scottish shops where I think I will return to for souvenirs. I saw George Square and Glasgow City Hall. Some incredible monuments around town as well as more remarkable architecture. The highlight of my day and maybe one of the top street performances I have ever seen was a group of buskers. I had seen them separately earlier that day. Two guys (looked around 18/19) one playing the bagpipes and one playing a snare drum. At the other end of the road I saw two Rastafarian men playing djembe drums. On the way back they had grouped together, two guys in full Scottish garb, kilts and high socks included, and two dread haired, rag dressed rasta men. And what makes it the best of all - They were playing "We Will Rock You!" on the pipes and drums. Amazing!
The frosh have all moved in now and I met the crew in my hall way. It is myself and a guy named Adam who is a carrot topped fellow who looks like he might way 90 pounds soaking wet. If he wasn't living here I would have him pegged for 14. Other than the two of us there are 6 girls who all seem very nice. Overall, I am feeling a little old when they are taking part in their freshers week activities but it does allow for some entertainment and it is certainly better than when this place was quieter than a tomb.
Monday is Registration and then a week of sports! Looking forward to it.
