So i moved yesterday. My lease at the Uni accommodation was up, so i found a room to rent for the rest of the summer. I'm really happy with it, because it is closer to campus and to Byres Road, the main street that runs up the west side of the campus. I only moved about half a mile, but i feel so much better. I no longer live in a backstreet international student ghetto that doesn't even boast a corner shop (the closest shop is down the road and around the corner). Now i even have a coffee shop right around the corner and a bus stop merely one block away. One of the best parts is the view that greets me every time i walk out the front door of the building:
Way better than this:
Another of the best parts is my flatmate, Kerra, who is a really nice med student.
In other news:
After moving yesterday, which took about an hour, i met Debbie down at the West End Festival. The festival lasts two weeks, and there is a parade and street party to kick it off. We watched the parade, which seemed to have a plants and insects theme, then we walked around drinking beer and listening to various bands. It was a lovely day, and i managed to get some sun on my white shoulders, thus partially evening out the farmer tan. You can see a bunch of pictures i took in my Glasgow set on Flickr.
