Red, Orange, and Yellow..

Mann, what a week. I had almost forgotten what it was like to be at school... but after a few sleepless nights and afternoons in the library, I remember what being a university student is all about. 

Here I was working away, and the next thing I knew.. it was fall!

A beautiful distraction right outside my window.
I don't have much to report, so I hope you don't mind a few scenic pictures around campus..

From the library.. 

  This is the building where all my lectures are held.  After class, I took a long walk home to soak in all the fall colours..

The same building from across the Loch, and of course the good ol' monument making its way into all my pictures.
The swans and the ducks in the Loch seem quite happy with all the rain.  


 I needed a little break from all the essay writing, so I took advantage of another ceilidh night with the mountaineering club.. nothing can cure the essay blues like twirling around with guys in kilts :)

I'm really getting the hang of all these dances - I feel so Scottish!



And now I'm off to the land o' the Irish for my mid-semester break.. Dublin, here I come!  Talk to you again next week with more pictures and stories from my Irish adventures.

Cheers!

  2. What kind of tree do you have over there, that looks like a maple. It must be hard to keep from daydreaming your study time away at the library, with that peaceful view just outside the window...We've already had a taste of wintry weather here--don't you miss it??!!

  3. You're getting (or always were, and I never knew it?) very skilled with photography!

    We should continue your adventures when you come back!
