I have to say this once more: the wind here is freezing. It would be quite pleasant without the freezing arctic gusts whooshing through the city. (I don't know if the wind comes from the arctic. I made that part up, but it wouldn't surprise me.)
I got up before noon today! It's been an incredibly productive day, actually. I found the gym, wandered through the sport societies (school clubs) fair and shot a few arrows with a 26 pound bow (at only ten yards, though. But still, 26 lbs is more than I usually shoot), found George Square and David Hume Tower, finished matriculation (registration, getting all my classes sorted out, meeting with my academic advisor, the extremely nice and slightly portly Dr. Keith Hughes.), went food shopping at two different places, bought a plate and food storage container at another place (and spent fewer than 20 pounds for all of it!), aaand... then I went home, cleaned chicken with the dullest knife on the planet, and took a nap. Because I was exhausted.
I'm still pretty exhausted. I set an alarm, though, and was only out for a max of half an hour. It was probably closer to a quarter of an hour. Then I got up and half-raced across town (well, I thought it was across town, but it's really only about five or six blocks away) to the Tmobile and Vodaphone stores to talk to someone about domestic and international plans.
The stores were absolutely packed, and as it turns out, I'm basically screwed when it comes to phone plans. Laaaaame.
I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but according to the Tmobile woman most students in my position just have two pay-as-you-go phones: one for international texting/calling and one for domestic stuff. More incredible lameness.
