Thank you all - So much to learn yet & Glasgow is lovely (& plenty much warmer than Alaska). As Mumble wrote, PhD programme is time-consuming...sigh. But so worth it. Although I am shy & academically oriented, I will try to met others locally. Everyone here is really nice.
The Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum is a favourite of mine already; I love that I can practically anywhere
Now, I'll need to check out this forum a bit more (it's Sunday night, afterall). Have a good week, everyone, and stay busy. And warm, Jota .
