This may be a little late, considering that I've been in the country almost two weeks already, and for the most part, am set up. However, I've set up this blog to chronicle my life, here, in Scotland.
I should mention that I came to Scotland to study Psychology in the University of Abertay Dundee. We won't go into why I chose Abertay, but I have come over, completely on my own, knowing nobody, and never having visited.
Bold, you might say, but at least I know the language ;)
So, I came over on a very early flight on Monday 7th of September. The college had organised a meet and greet type thing, where they would take us to Dundee from Edinburgh and give us rooms until our proper rooms were available. Which was very handy, as you can imagine.
Anyway, after I eventually found them and about 7 other Irish girls, I was taken to one of the student halls. It was a bit of a hole, but I was staying with the other Irish girls, and they were lovely, so I had fun while I was there.
After three days, they took me to my proper apartment, which I couldn't find at first due to intense stupidity on my part. But once I did, I fell in love. This building is amazing. It's really old, and it has a beautiful name. My room is massive and has it's own sink which is so cool. The ceilings are massively high and the window goes all the way from the floor to the ceiling.
I am an old fashioned girl with old fashioned tastes.
It is also right in the middle of town, which is brilliant despite the traffic noises, I can get used to those. I could also swoon about my place all day, so I will stop.
Getting myself set up here has been harder than I imagined, but amazing fun. I went to this orientation thing to meet the other international students and two of them are irish! how weird. One, I actually knew from years ago, but anyway. They are really nice, and we seem to have really hit it off, so it's good to have friends already. :)
I've had to be all responsible and buy plates and cutlery and cups and all of that. I love picking out stuff like that, I am such a weirdo. But, i now have things of that nature to call my own! yay!
I got a new phone, within a couple of days, and it's really fun, I'm way too amused by it :D
umumum alsoooo i need to set up a bank account, which for some reason, I haven't done yet. But I will! And sooooon! Also, on the to-do list is to find myself a job. I need to get a job so badly, it's scary. But, I will. Because I have faith!
blahh tl;dr i like it here and i'm never leaving.
til the next pointless post! <3
