Here we go, the real start of my blog. It's really going to take off now. Pretty soon. I can feel it. Riiiiiight.... now.
Maybe not.
If you can't get the sense of what my blog's going to be about from the huge-ass title there at the top, I'll spell it out for you:
1. I'm spending my junior year abroad at the University of Edinburgh.
2. It's going to be an adventure (warning: understatement).
3. I'm going to write about said adventure in this here blog, mostly so I don't have to send 50,000 people an e-mail everytime something new/exciting/strange/Scottish happens.
I'll set up a little background picture, (more of a starting point really), to remind you/me/us where I'm starting from, so when it's -400 degrees and snowy in October I can look at it and remind myself there's a warm world to go back to. On September 1, 2006, at approximately 4:30 pm, I leave the sunny East Bay, boarding my non-stop flight from San Francisco to London. I somehow manage to find my way several hundred miles northward to Edinburgh, the captial of Scotland. And there it begins. I have orientation for EAP (the UC Education Abroad Program), then "Fresher's Week" (Freshman Orientation Week), and then classes start Sept. 19th. Wow. In a month, I'll be living in an entirely new world, where (understandable) English is hardly spoken.
All I have to do now is pack.
