A Photo Tour of St Andrews, Further Updates, and A Ceilidh (maybe)

Because today was such a lovely day (relatively sunny, not very windy or cold), and one of my friends asked me to get photos of the campus, I decided to go out for a walk at around 2:30 to enjoy the day and the scenery with my camera. St Andrews doesn't really have a "campus", but I took photos of University buildings, and other pretty buildings/sites around the town. I've uploaded the photos to Flickr so that everyone can access them.

Hopefully that works.

In other news, some of the things that weren't going so well when I posted yesterday are starting to get resolved. Dad got a fitted sheet (the stretch-y one that goes over the mattress) and an empty duvet cover for my bed from the owner of the B&B he and Uncle Bud are staying at. He will pick up some proper sheets when he is in Aberdeen. Dad will also be getting a USB plug-in from the Apple store in Aberdeen (lots of shopping to do in Aberdeen) for my laptop that will allow me to plug the ethernet cable (the cable that connects me to the internet) into my computer so that I can finally get internet access in my room. Dad also came by this morning to assemble my IKEA shelf. He is my hero :) Also, I turned the dial up on the radiator in my room so hopefully that will make my room warmer.

More news: There is a ceilidh (a Scottish dance party consisting of traditional music & dance) tonight, and I think both Amanda and I are going. There are so many ceilidhs scheduled this week I don't know which ones to go to! I bought tickets for the ceilidh that's being put on by the Student Union, but maybe I should go to the one tonight so that I can learn how to do the actual ceilidh dance.


Hope you guys enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed my walk in the rare sunshine,
