An American in Scotland

My name is Jada, I’m an American, and I’m going to Scotland for six months. I’ll be studying at the University of Glasgow and hopefully living like any 20 year old Scottish college student would. But of course I’ll be American, not Scottish, and the culture shock is sure to be insane. So I’ve decided to document my insanity, starting from about a month and a half before I hop the pond until I return. I hope to share photos and snippets from my daily life with y’all. So this is going to be, starting around January first, a travel/photo/journal blog-contraption. Until then its most likely to be pre-planning blog which will focus on preparing to study abroad for six month and planning travel to several other country’s in Europe as well. Enjoy.

Questions?

Since I’ve came back from Scotland my grandmother and great aunt have both come down with pneumonia and had to be hospitalized, they live together so anything one gets the other gets as well. An aunt and uncle have had it as well but they, being younger, have been able to avoid the hospital. My grandmother was able to come home but my great aunt is in I.C.U. - I’m awfully worried about them.

One of my cats died while I was away, the cat with half a mustache Luna. Also my other cat, the youngest one named Darwin is sick/injured. I’m very worried about Dar.

I think I’m just a bad luck charm and should go back to Scotland. Everything was fine then. Or I was just on the other side of an ocean and no one told me bad things. Who knows.
