Sir William Wallace





Well, I made it; safe and sound!

The flights were good. I didn't get lost or miss a flight without anyone there to hold my hand so I guess that is a step in the right direction. I got into Aberdeen, picked up my luggage and called for a cab with no trouble at all. The cab driver was amazing, though. He was giving me the works on Scotland, driving on the left side of the road (which is because you had to draw your sword with your right hand to defend yourself back in the old days), and the University. I got checked in and got my key with ease. The only trouble I ran into was the fact that I live on the 4th floor and there was no elevator. That climb was brutal while carrying all three bags; but I made it!

After I got everything unpacked I fell onto my bed and fell right asleep (I couldn't sleep on the plane). I woke up and really had no clue what time it was so I just went back to bed; lame, I know.

Today we had an exchange student orientation deal and I met everyone that is here for the semester. Come to find out, there are a lot of people here from all over the world. This is a hugely diverse University. A couple of us then ventured downtown to look for phones before our registration. I then got signed up for 3 classes: Agricultural Production, Plants, Pathogens and People, and a history class about world superpowers; not too bad of a schedule if you ask me. I do unfortunately have class on Friday. Other than that, not much else is going on here.

Hope all is well.
