I've wanted this crazy plan of mine to actually start for so long, that now that it is happening, I'm sort of freaking out! I'm so excited to be going to the University of St. Andrews I can't even express, but I'm also in shock that all of this is really happening... Okay lets be honest, I'm not so excited about the paperwork, the visa applications and outrageous amounts of loans... but overall I can't help but smile every time I think of Scotland.
Figuring out all the logistics though has been a bit crazy. Between communicating via email with the school due to the time difference, trying to find my way through loan apps and answering five million questions for getting my Visa, my head is spinning. That aside, I've already started to plan what to pack, what bags to pack in, I've bought a few new electronics (totally necessary for keeping the fam updated) and I've already started to agonize over what books I must leave at home.
Travels aside though, the nerd in me is excited to get back to class. I'm so glad I took a year off to give my brain a bit of a break. Up until a few months ago I was pretty happy just chillin at home, working, enjoying Vermont, but it got to the point where I was sitting at home after work saying to myself "OK, isn't' there a paper I should be working on? Do I have a book I need to frantically finish for tomorrow?" That's how I knew I was ready to go back to school to get my masters. I'm so thrilled I'll be going to classes, I'll be taking books out, staying up late, getting hand cramps from writing notes and of course getting far too behind on laundry to be healthy.
So I guess this is my first official blog post... I can't believe I actually got a blog. Hopefully this will make keeping everyone posted on my crazy adventures in Europe/Scotland soooo much easier. :)
