Welcome to Glasgow

So, After what seems like years of waiting I finally landed in Glasgow (YAHOO!) at just about the tiniest airport I have ever seen (Of course I haven't been everywhere just yet). Pretty much the flights were if uneventful, at least very long. I have had just about enough air travel to last me a lifetime. I now officially live in Lomond House which is missing 2 letters on the sign, So, Omond Huse is actually where I am living. I am on the top floor in flat M room 2 and have the most amazing view of Ruchill Park right across the street. I will definately be checking that out. Jealous anyone? Don't be just yet. It turns out that in Scotland they make their beds out of stone, and it makes it very difficult to fall asleep. Thankfully I have a few days to get used to the time change and the stone bed. So a girl has to eat doesn't she? I decided when I woke up at 7 this morning and without an alarm clock as well, that grocery shopping would be an excellent thing to do. The Tesco Express is listed as .54 miles, who knows what that could possibly be in Km but I found it, I am happy.

I discovered that the grocery stores here are much tinier, with very little to offer in one place, so unfortunately I will have to shop many stores to get what I need. One thing I need to be careful about is that everything seems so much cheaper here, since the prices are listed in pounds, but then I have to remember to change that over to USD. It's so expensive. Another thing to realize is that I can't shop for a lot of stuff at one time considering that I have to carry it all back the .54 miles and also that my fridge is exceptionally small and I have to share it with 4 other girls.

The view from my room, there was a mini cooper in the view last night, but it drove away...

There is a small river type thing running behind the dorm area with a cute little path past it, and all of the trees that I have seen so far a green. And there is really foliage; it isn’t just pine trees and maybe a leaf if you’re lucky. I also can’t say that I miss the dry Colorado weather, because its luxurious here and my hair might turn into an afro if I don’t stay on top of it.

the river thing behind the dorms, you can see some of the buildings behind all my green trees!

All in all, this will be my first day in Scotland and I am very excited, it is more than I could have hoped for, and all of the buildings are just so darn cute. Probably because they were built in the early 1900's and aren't all glass balconies and "modern" shapes. I will try to buy a phone today to go with my new groceries, and hopefully invest in an alarm clock and some other essentials they seem to have forgotten about here. I will enjoy my time here in “The dear green place” that is Glasgow!
