Fortunately, I have a little
experience when it come to staying abroad for longer periods of time
and I will be staying in an area who's culture isn't too much unlike
the United States. Furthermore, the time difference in Scotland is
only 5 hours (compared to a 14 hour difference in Brisbane I've
become familiar with), I've grown up eating British style foods (also due
to family abroad), a chunk of my life was spend in harsh Chicago
winters, I don't have to learn a completely new language, and I'm in
contact with a few people who have already studied at the same
university I will be attending. This being said, as prepared as
I think I am for these tangible difference, being away from my
family, especially my dad, and friends is going to push everything to
the extreme. This is why I will be Skyping back home frequently.
Thankfully my parents are semi-technologically inclined and I might
already Skype an unusual amount with friends I see regularly. I think
this is going make my transition into six months of independence a
tiny bit smoother.
