I've met a couple of people in my classes. We only really introduced ourselves but hopefully this week and in future weeks we'll be able to become real friends. We'll see.
I had my first tutorial which is much more of what I'm used to, coming from Goucher. There are about 15 people sitting around a table being led in conversation by a graduate student. On Thursday she broke us into three groups and we discussed our first lecture and then shared what we talked about. For this coming Thursday we have to read Marx's Communist Manifesto (hence why I think this class will be difficult).
Friday I don't have any classes, which is awesome. Megan, Aldonza, Julia and I went to find the Hidden Lane Tea Room (which is definitely hidden) which is really cute and has good food. I had a mocha and a scone with cream and jam. Definitely worth another visit. That night I just hung around in my room, working on school stuff, figuring out trips, and watching some Gilmore Girls on DVD.
Saturday, Megan, Aldonza, and I went grocery shopping which took a few hours because we have to walk. We got all the fixings for lasagna and caramel shortbread. The lasagna came out pretty well, we should have cooked the noodles a bit before putting them in the pan, but the caramel shortbread made up for it. It is amazing. We didn't have any sort of measuring cups or spoons so we just estimated based on how much was in the bag and how much we needed in the bowl. It worked!
Today we had a cultural day and went to the Kelvingrove Museum. It is so interesting how the museum set up. It has art, but isn't an art museum. It has some dead animals, but isn't a science museum. It has some historic information about Scotland, but isn't a history museum. What is it!?
Tomorrow I have my first bagpiping class. I hope it goes well!
