I have arrived

So, after many long hours, I have finally made it to the University of St. Andrews. How were my travels, you ask? Well, be quiet, and stop asking questions, I'm about to tell you. I got a decent seat on my overseas flight, and due to the fact that the flight wasn't booked, no one was sitting next to me, allowing me some room to spread out. The other girl in my row, by coincidence was a 4th year med student who had gone to W&M (Class of '06). The bad news was that the person behind me was constantly kneeing my back, and the person in front of me had his seat back the entire flight. While vaguely irritating at times, neither was an enormous problem. The larger problem was when I arrived in Heathrow, I discovered that my connecting flight to Edinburgh was not in working order, per se, and I was delayed an extra hour and a half. When we did make our final decent, I was greeted with this view:
It had snowed unexpectedly all morning, and stopped just before we arrived. Then, I finally arrived at St. Andrews, the sun getting surprisingly brighter and brighter as we drove until it turned into a nice day. With some difficulty but with help from friendly St. Andrews students, I managed to finally get into my room:
It looks comfortable, and so far, isn't too cold. (We'll see about tomorrow morning...)

  1. What a cute room! I like the built-in shelves. Let's hope those abstemious Scots don't force you to freeze to death in your bed.
