today was the fresher's fayre & matriculation. we woke up early to get to the fresher's fayre, which was seriously hyped up and supposedly filled with different boothes of different clubs and activities on campus, as well as freebies. turns out..that over-the-top fair was in september, this was fresher's fayre 2 and only had 5 or 6 tables set up. it was still fun, and we learned about some clubs on campus, and even signed up for the WHISKEY CLUB! the club meets bi-weekly for whiskey tastings (of good whiskey's), and then has field-trips to distilleries all over scotland. super cool!
after that, we headed over to the merchiston campus for matriculation (registration). it was this whole process, we had to come in and go to one department of the computer lab - admissions, then immigration, then online, then get our ID's, then a library tutorial..it was very organized but quite the process!
finally, we went on a little exploration to get our bus passes. it's £40 for a student monthly bus pass, which is unlimited use. not too bad, and it's so easy to use! (never thought i'd say that about public busses, as i've never been a fan, but the plaid scottish seating really does it for me).
on our way home, we walked down Princes street and I took a picture of Scott's monument..so pretty!
(this isn't it - this is from google, but way better since mine was at night).
today my flatmates and i also started planning some of our trips! so far, we have amsterdam, wales, malta, london, and CEE-LO concert in Glasgow!!! So excited!!!
last night, my flat mates and I made a Scottish jeopardy game that we are playing. each of us picked a category (there are 7), and have to make up 6 questions about your category (different levels of challenging)..added some color to our wall, and will be educational and fun!
pictures & updates to follow tomorrow!
XOXO
