Classes and Bicycles

So, my meeting with my Personal Tutor went really well on Tuesday! He was very nice and very helpful. He is Greek, but has a Scottish accent which makes his voice very interesting. I am taking the following classes this semester: Fluid Mechanics, Water and Wastewater Systems, Linear Algebra, and History of Art. I'm very excited! One tricky thing about my class schedule: I have back to back classes on separate campuses. In other words, three times per week I will have only 10 minutes to get to my next class over 2 miles away. A long uphill walk that will surely make me late for class so I will certainly be investing in a bicycle.

Yesterday I went to the activities fair and signed up for club basketball and the hill walking society. I have a basketball tryout on Friday afternoon. After that, because I am much in need of practice, my friend Nicky and I played basketball at a local gym. After that I hiked the ridge of Arthur's Seat again. Here is a video that I took from the ridge overlooking Holyrood Park:

Today I am continuing my mission of finding a bike. Yesterday I called one store, but their bikes were a bit pricey. Then, on my walk home from the societies (what they call clubs here) fair, I stopped in a little thrift shop that had bicycles outside. They were affordable, but not very safe looking. I will try again today.
