Well, my orientation is over and done with. Better than some I've had, but still with its fair share of redundant information (plagarism is bad over here too, who knew?). All in all I've had a good time over here in Scotland thus far. The academic wine reception they gave us on Thursday to meet the teachers was most enjoyable, even though none of the biology professors were there. On Friday, we had our advising and matriculation, which went rather smoothly, I'm guessing especially so as we were the only ones signing up for anything. I got all of the classes I was shooting for, which are Biology of Marine Organisms, Scotland, Britain, and the Empire 1603-2000, and Scottish Music. Hopefully I won't live to regret signing up for any of those. Friday night we had a Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee), which was enormously fun. I tried haggis, which was suprisingly good, and danced a few Scottish dances, from which my calves are still burning. This morning I attended the service at St. Salvator's Chapel, which was an interesting non-demoninational service. There was a notice saying St. Salvator's choir needs tenors and basses, so I'm looking into signing up for that, fingers crossed. Later today I watched a rugby game, Scotland vs. France. Sadly, France came out the victor, but it'll be an interesting juxtaposition to tonight's Super Bowl.
