first weekend

I now have a finalized timetable (schedule) for my courses (classes). A lot busier than I originally anticipated, those tutorials really fill in time. For the curious:

Monday: all in GS
9-9.50 Archaeology of Scotland
-Homework time at the library?
14-14.50 Musical Acoustics (I did not know this word was spelled differently outside America)
15-15.50 Mus. Ac. Tutorial

Tuesday: all in KB
9-9.50 Quantum Mechanics
10-10.50 Physical Mathematics
12-12.50 P. Maths Workshop (like a tutorial?)

Wednesday: in KB 11.10-13 Quantum Tutorial

Thursday: all in GS
9-9.50 Archaeology of Scotland
-Homework time?
14-14.50 Musical Acoustics

Friday: begins at KB
9-9.50 Quantum
10-10.50 P. Maths
12-12.50 P. Maths Comp Lab (mandatory?)
-walk/bus to GS. Very easy, the bus runs every 20-30 minutes, and walking isn't bad.
14-14.50 Mus. Ac.

Plus an archaeology tutorial somewhere in there. My courses all seem very interesting, but especially different is the Acoustics class, half music students, half physics students. Eventually we will examine how different instruments are able to create sound, and learn what effects pitch, timbre, as well as our own hearing. For now it is two old, bumbling-yet-loveable professors who ramble and occasionally play a few notes on a trumpet. I think I will learn a lot from it, though... it's all the interesting parts of music you don't learn when picking up an instrument, and already I feel I have a better understanding for keys and chords, and other things that always mystified me.

I am now an official member of the Physics Society. Last night was a kind of pub quiz night, and although I was absolutely useless at identifing theme songs of British TV shows, I made up for it during the American states round.
I think that was the first time yet I've been the only American in the room?

And, an update on theatre:
I won't be acting in anything I auditioned for this semester, but that's okay, at least I tried out. I'm still planning on doing techwork for "The Visit"... and I'm really excited about it.
