I successfully battled the Registration Dragons, with only a slight hiccup as the credit-card machine coughed slightly at the £BIGNUM course fee and asked the poor finance bod to call the bank and ask various questions of me to confirm that I really was Simon B and I really did want to give all that money to the University of Edinburgh. I then went on a bit of a wander and found the sports centre, where I made a much, much smaller payment to join the gym for a year. Now I just have to use it...
Having felt all YOUNG and STUDENT-LIKE after registering, I then walked through the central university plaza, where hordes of Bright Young Things were handing out flyers and passes for clubs and parties to all and sundry. Well, almost all and sundry; they parted like the Red Sea at the approach of the clearly lost and probably senile old codger and I didn't get so much as offereed a novelty condom. Slunk off to the library to do some work towards my OU assignment, feeling very OLD and OUT OF PLACE.
PG induction this afternoon; LLM arrival brief tomorrow.Bus Pass application next week.
