Aberdeen, The Dream

2nd March 2022

From the day I heard about Aberdeen University, it has always been a dream to attend.
Imagining King’s Hall as my Hall of Residence,
Imagining going for a lovely walk down Meston walk (st),
having coffee at Kilua coffee shop,
next, I will go to the Sir Duncan Rice library for a research assignment,
running for lectures somewhere in the day.

Paying a courtesy visit to an acquaintance in Hillhead student village, during less busy weekends. I will hop into a pub on the way back to my residence,
getting myself acquainted with Aberdeen’s neighbouring towns.
And during semester breaks, I will go on a self-tour. From; Blackburn to Balmedie to Blackdog to Bridge of Don to Cove Bay and end the tour at Portlethen (first tour).

Old Aberdeen………. may our paths cross again in this lifetime.
