LATELY.

We've been living an internet free life (I first exchanged life with box here, that's like too far off to even be classified as a typo??) for the first bit of this month, i.e. no internet in the apartment. So I've been sat at the university library for most of my days, between lectures. However, here are some non-library moments that have been captured on my cellular phone the past weeks: 
On my way to the gym/sea, I cross this grassy meadow. It feels so Scotland, somehow. Right now it is featuring a art project called "by order of me". Here with a sign telling us TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES AND FEEL THE MUD ON YOUR SOCKS. 
 Before uni got more serious than introductory lectures, I was sat at the kitchen table weaving dream cathers and drinking coffee. 
 Campus is looking pretty in its autumn gear + morning sun reaching King's College. 
Finally, last sunday overdosing on caffeine before the clock reached noon at Books and Beans. 
For now, the sun frequently portrayed above seems to have left us. But the rain isn't so bad either, you just have to embrace it.

On a more serious note: Our kiwi friend Fergus has been in an accident in Romania, there is an article about it here and a fundrasing to fly him back to NZ here. The current 16-something-k NZD sure is "a testament to the kind of person their brother was - inspirational and liked by everyone", as stated in the article.

Sending healing vibes your way Fergus! ! !

WE*RE IN ABERDEEN

We made it safe and sound to Aberdeen! (Although it was a bloody long journey - 16 hours in total travelling from Bath, I still feel a wee jet-lagged although I've just moved within GMT) The flat is currently ours alone, which feels very nice after spending the summer with constant do's and don'ts from our former house mates (who tended to leave piles of dishes covering the kitchen counter, not to mention used sanitary pads on the bathroom floor. Like don't throw stones when you're sat in a glasshouse, dear.) - But here on Hutcheon Street it's so tidy and IKEA-fresh, I feel we're staying in a hotel than a home. Hopefully that feeling will wear off soonish.

Rain! In Scotland! :o // Just arrived to the room
Charles and Diana are hanging out in the bathroom, helping me to keep track of my make-up brushes.
 I have my courses and timetable set for the upcoming year, it will be a mix of Art History, French and Sociology. After the first encounter with most of the College of Art's lecturers this afternoon, I feel like it is Hogwarts I will attend. They were like a bunch of Professor McGonagall's presenting different topics. Or possibly a bunch of Hagrids, considering the accent. On the bottomline, I am so excited for the lectures to start next week!
