Tour of Campus

Hey for those of you who want to see campus keep reading. Yesterday despite being slightly out of it and not feeling well, I went out and took pictures of all of campus. Now I dont have enough room to post all of them but I will get the majority out for everyone to see.


First stop in the Cottrall Building. This contains some lecture halls, two computer labs and some administration stuff. This is where I spent my first few days going to welcome sessions and waiting in queue to get my student card.




This is Pathfoot in which most of my classes will be taken. The English Department is also here and I have a feeling a lot of studying will be done here. Below is a standing stone marking the place where a village had been built before the town of Stirling had been built it was named Pathfoot village.

There is a small stream that runs through campus and to the loch and the castle on campus was only built in the 1700s but is still very impressive. It is currently used as a radio station.




Then the last building is the robertson center. It is the student center and holds the union, the movie screen, and many shops and other such restaurants and bars. There is also a bridge connecting it to the main residences(not where I live)




I hope you liked this tour of campus. It is more beautiful then imagined and I hope to have some new pictures when all the leaves start to change color. I will leave you with a final shot of the Wallace Monument. It can be viewed anywhere on campus and is a good landmark in town.

Why is there a penguin?

Hello from Bonnie Scotland!
I have made it safely to Scotland and have already moved into my chatlet. It is a 5 person house with two bathrooms and one toilet. For a tour please see the pictures below. I have yet to meet my house mates but I am sure all of them are fun.

But before I tell you about my plane ride many of you are probably wondering what is with the penguin in many of the pictures. His name is Lucky and he is a traveling penguin that missed Europe a lot. So he has come back with me and will be used in many pictures to hang out and see things with me. Lucky was found on a street in Pueblo and since then has decided to follow me everywhere.

The plan ride over was just fine and dandy. I traveled from Denver International to Philadelphia International where I had a six hour lay over then to London, where I was late and had literally 20 minutes to get through customs to my next flight which took me to Glasgow. I caught a bus this morning and here I arrived a little after 12:00 UK time at my room.

I have explored a little around campus and you will hopefully be getting more pictures soon. There is a hill before I reach anything of interest on campus but I have been informed I am closer to the town then anyone else on campus so that is a plus.

Well now I have to go track down some food and then find ways to stay up so I will talk to you on my next adventure!
