This is just the preliminary – D hasn’t been given the opportunity to schedule in tutorials yet (for those of you who aren’t familiar with the concept, let’s just say that tutorials correspond to what Americans are probably familiar with as “class,” while Lectures are the bits which he’s been able to schedule, and are going to apparently consist of someone standing up and talking for an hour or so). He’s to schedule our tutorials in sometime during the next week or so, and he hopes to be able to schedule them into the colossal gaps on Tuesday & Wednesday, in order to minimize the number of walks to & from campus.
{EDIT: Tutorials are scheduled in there, now, which means that Tuesdays are going to be the hard day, and Wednesdays will have a huge gap. We tried to schedule it a bit better … but that was as good as it could get. At least he has a nice 4 hours between classes on Wednesday, so he can come home for a while.}
Our bicycles should show up this weekend, along with the rest of our possessions, so we’re hoping that D. can trim some of his walking time down; it takes him 30 minutes each way, walking to class, but he could do that on the cycle in possibly 10 – we’ll see. Either way, it’s a chilly bit of a trip, as Autumn has rolled in, here in Glasgow, despite the sunny days. D. is wishing he’d remembered his gloves, instead of shipping them!
Within the next couple of weeks we should be settled into our little unrecommended neighborhood (the Student Guide, which we didn’t receive until registration, states clearly that, “there are no supermarkets or tube stations nearby.” Hah! Found that one out the hard way, certainly).

what a great schedule! Hope the bikes show up soon. My walk is only 15 minutes–it will be faster should it EVER cool off here….
nice to know the student guide agrees with you! though it may have been helpful to know before hand. hope your stuff arrives on time. take care.
My first thought was that Wednesday was going to be a long day. It would be good to fill in some of the blank spaces.
Hope all your stuff arrives soon. It’ll get pretty rainy here in the nexy few weeks, so I guess anything that’ll make the commute a bit quicker will be good.
