In the beginning...

Hello hello!

I have attempted blogging in the past but that effort quickly crashed and burned. I hope this current blog maintains some form of lifeline with you all during my year in Scotland.
Whether you are a loved family member, close friend, past acquaintance, or respected nemesis you will be missed throughout my term at the University of Edinburgh.
Until we meet again, I pray that this blog serves as an adequate form of communication.
I can't make any promises relating to the frequency and consistency of my postings, but I can tell you that I will try my best to keep you up to date on any significant occurrence from the UK. It'll be easier to stay motivated knowing that there are people actually reading these entries, so please leave comments if you could (whether it be to say hello or to harshly criticize my writing/life; a response of, "that was pathetic" is also acceptable).

As it stands now, I have (finally) received my VISA, which has allowed me to buy a plane ticket! Woah dang, it's starting to feel real. There's not much more prep needed before I head out September 10th, so I might be resorted to... studying? We'll see if I can pry myself away from Guitar Hero for long enough periods to be useful.

Once again, thank you for your friendship and support. There is no doubt in my mind that I am able to have this amazing opportunity because of the influence you each have had in my life. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all in the coming months.
