The Day Before Day 0: Day Negative 1?

Since this is my first real blog, I'm not quite sure what to say in the first post, but I might as well start with the basic information. I will be studying abroad at the University of Edinburgh this semester and figured the best way to let people know what I'm up to while in Scotland is through a blog!

Packing actually went smoother than I thought-hopefully I haven't forgotten anything major... it's always a pain in the arse (what they say in Scotland apparently) to repack! I've got a 65 liter hiking backpack as my checked bag and then a small suitcase for carry on. It's crazy to think that for a normal school semester I have nearly a full carload of things, yet for this semester everything can fit in two bags. It really makes me wonder about all the excess that I normally have with me at school.

Well, tomorrow is the big day; my flight leaves 24 hours from now! Hopefully the customs officials let me into the country and my next blog post will be from Scotland!
