officially its 34 days, 12 hours, 35 minutes and 29 seconds until I leave for Scotland. To be perfectly truthfull I am actually getting a little scared and nervous. I sitll have so much to do and it really seems like time is flying by. Once I get there I am going to have a rather busy week getting things together and trying to get registered and meeting up with people. Sometime within all that time I will also need to get caught up on sleep, unpack, and go grocery shopping. I think its really smart that I am getting pre packed boxes of kitchen, bedding and study stuff from www.theuni-box.com, this way I wont have to go shopping for those kinds of things when I get there.. and I will take some travel soaps and shampoo with me just in case I can't get to ASDA right away or something. As an international student I am required to go to a bunch of meetings and stuff in the first couple days that I get there. I really wish I would have left 3 days earlier but I couldn't afford the plane ticket. so I'll be ok I just need to buck up and really get things going when I get there.

In a way I wish I had someone coming with me to help me get situated but thats not happening and its ok.. I'm an adult I really shouldn't need someone to hold my hand through this process.

next step.. getting my freaking VISA back. I know they will approve it.. there's no reason for them not to. I have MORE than enough funds to sustain me for a year including tuition, rent, a food allowance, field trips, transportation and school supplies. and if the pound stays low, then I will be even better off! Currently the pound is $1.63 to 1. things will all work out :) and they will all be ok :)

Ok time for me to stop worrying about everything.
