September 14th, 2006 Sign Up Now!

It’s Fresher’s Week (i.e. Junior Drink Fest) and a much needed break. We moved into the flat on Friday/Saturday. Spent WAY too much money at IKEA only to realize that better goods could have been got at the charity shops for less! but at least the room is now mostly my own. Still have some odds and ends to be fetched but they’ll accumulate with time. Am generally pleased and think (knock wood) it will all work out. The space seems to have immediately improved my moods despite the very thin, very lumpy bed (ooooh, can feel every spring in that one). On Tuesday we went out to a Livestock Market in Stirling (part of our EMS requirements) and decided to stay a bit longer in order to check out the castle. Lovely touristy experience despite the scaffolding / repairs. Friend Jackie noted that everywhere she goes the places are always under repair. Maybe they meant to spruce up for her arrival and mistimed? LOL. Ran out of time for the rest of the sites so perhaps will drag Kevin over to see the William Wallace Tower and legendary atrocious sculpture of Mel Gibson when he arrives on Friday?

Yesterday I penned my name on far too many club mailing lists as I walked through the Fresher’s Fair. Not that I really expect to sign up for them in the long run but there are nearly unlimited numbers of school organizations you can join to fit your interests, from archery to the zoological society (which I am an official member of) and the many in between (science fiction bookclub?) and it was far too overwhelming to decide on the spot particularly considering my current lack of class schedule. My intention was and is to join the Dick Vet Climbing Club, and perhaps (money & time allowing?) both the Yoga Club and the Massage Club. Ooooooohmmmm.

Today was the Zoo Club’s student trip to the Edinburgh Zoo and for the first time in many weeks we had a day of pouring rain so very few animals out and about other than we humans who are too stupid to recognize bad weather and stay in. But I did get to see possibly the cutest animals on Earth: the koalas.
