Dear Jesse,
Congratulations! I just received word from the Universitywide Office for EAP (UOEAP) that you have been selected for placement at University of Edinburgh, Scotland for the 2007-08 academic year. In a few weeks, you will be receiving a large packet from UOEAP containing specific information about your program in the UK, as well as forms that will need to be completed and returned to various offices. In addition, you may begin receiving material directly from University of Edinburgh. Please read all information carefully, as there may be dates and deadlines that you will need to meet regarding housing, course enrollment, etc. and you will need to include additional time for international delivery.
Best of luck, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Regards,
Zak Frieders
As you might imagine, I am pretty freakin' excited! I can't wait to get over to Scotland. Please send your thoughts on things I shoud do in preparation for my trip and / or things I shouldn't miss while abroad.

Ummmm, bring clothes, alcohol, annnnnnd ur favorite roommate!!!
you're really going to enjoy it. it will definitely be colder than SD though, so don't forget your snow jacket. and an umbrella - i know, i didnt own one either until i came here. the weather is probably the biggest change, so be prepared.
edinburgh (pronounced ED-in-brah - say it any other way and they'll bitch-slap you - actually, ask a scottish person to pronounce it and then copy that as perfectly as you can) accents aren't that hard to understand, but you may get some people from the more rural towns whose accents are very...'unique'.
might have more tips later. you heard about anyone else coming to scotland? i know one from LJHS is going to sterling...
