Why hadn’t I done this before? From there you can see quite a bit of Aberdeen. Had I taken the time, and with a proper camera at the right time of day I think quite a nice shot could be taken from all the way up there.  With week left, it is unlikely I will get that shot, so instead you’ll have to do with these quick snaps taken on my mobile phone.

A film about the local Pony Club which had recieved a grant from the National Lottery. Will be shown on the National Lottery Freeview channel at some point in the future.

For the first 19 years of my life I have lived in Shetland, until yesterday! I’m now officially a student. I have to do my own washing (not attempted yet) and I have to cook my own food (so far I’ve made some Supernoodles).

I’ve also managed to lose my door card/key fob thing twice… both times in my room!

It’s not exactly how I imagined the student life… so far my flat mate(s) haven’t moved in, and anyone else from Shetland I know coming to Aberdeen are still in Shetland (except for Martin). So all in all it’s incredibly quiet!

I did something today I haven’t done in a long time…. I bought some pens and pencils. I haven’t used a pen properly since I left school, and even then some may argue I didn’t use it properly. It will be weird writing!

I would love to write a longer blog but there’s not much to write about!

Got an induction day tomorrow at the college, so I shall have a clearer picture then!

David
