My Life in Pictures

I will now fulfill all previous promises made in many numbered lists.

PICTURES

This is my bedroom. Why are there butterflies on the wall you might ask. A very good question. I put up the butterfly wrapping paper (other choices included "happy birthday", "merry christmas" and disney princesses; I couldn't do that to myself) because underneath the wall is very grey/beige, which is very depressing. Butterflies might be lots of this, particularly when they are on your wall, but the one thing they are not is depressing.

Below is a picture of the exterior of the front door to my building. Their are many front doors to the building, but only this one leads up the stairs, through another door and then to a door labeled "3" where you find me.



















Below is where the Elphinstone Institute used to be located. The piece of paper in the right hand window informed me of this. Cute isn't it?

However, the Elphinstone Institute is now housed in this building. Which, sadly, is not as cute as the former location. Mind you the Institute does not be any means take up this entire building. It has its own wee set of offices and a library, which is a wee room absolutely stuffed full of books. Stuffed, I say, stuffed.
AND not even all the books I need for classes are there, I often have to go to the Queen's Mum Library (no, its really the Queen's Mother Library). A lot of my folklore books are in the basement in closed stacks, which does not mean I need a library to retrieve them. It does mean all the shelves are on wheels and you have to crank them open to get to the books you need, which moves all the other shelves. SO you have to be careful there isn't anyone standing in the gap between the shelves that you are going to close. Otherwise they shout, which isn't an inside voice. They shout "Oi! Careful with them shelves!" Ok, I made that part up, but people do actually say "Oi!".

Above is New King's Hall, which apparently is younger than the King's College (not pictured). I don't have any classes or anything in here, but am including under that premise that it will make you jealous, which is one of the enumerated points I made in an earlier blog. For reference, click here.

Below is another part of my University. The tall building on the right is part of King's College. The rooms in King's are labeled all cockeyed.

So where am I on that list. Pictures? Check. Jealousy? Check. No complaining? Check. Scottish-ism? Could do better. Using camera for Skype? Failed. No more lists? Ummmm...debatable.
