A day in the King's Buildings

Yesterday was the first time I walked down to King's Buildings (KB). The School of Physics talk was for the entering first-year students, so it was a little silly for me but I still got a lot out of it. For one, there was a 30-minute break during which we enjoyed free coffee and "sticky buns" (danishes, not cinnamon rolls). Second, there were two guys there representing the Physics Society, so I was able to chat to them about third-year classes . They had cool hoodies on: dark green and embroided on the back in white:
PHYSICS SOCIETY
Don't laugh.

In the afternoon was the Visiting Students' meeting. I am glad I went to the first-year meeting because there was very little introduction to the department. We signed up for meeting times with the DoS (Director of Studies) and he signed us up individually for classes.

semester one:
Quantum Mechanics: 9-950 TF
Physical Mathematics: 10-1050 TF
Intro to Gaelic Language and Culture: 12-1250 MTWF (!!!!!!!!!)
Musical Accoustics: 14-1450 MRF
Friday will be a busy day, but Wednesday and Thursday are quite nice.
When I signed up for the Gaelic, the DoS said, "Oh, you're going all ethnic on me!" Hehe.

I need to send some emails to the head of the physics department to clear classes I didn't think I'd sign up for, and then maybe semester two will work out.
