EAP UK/Ireland Pre-departure Orientation AND Great News

Hey everyone! I actually have two exciting updates to tell you all about.

First.
I just attended the EAP UK/Ireland specific pre-departute orientation and it only made me more excited! There were two people there who had been to Edinburgh the previous year and oh boy did they have some stories to tell. Apparently there is this event dubbed Fresher's Week where all the new students get introduced to Edinburgh and basically goto dozens of events. It all sounds pretty exciting. They also had some UK natives who were visiting Davis and they also had some useful insight. All in all, I am just SO stoked to go abroad in THREE months!

EAP Orientation

Well, today was the first of two mandatory EAP orientation meetings. It all went well-- though I was scared for potheads going to Uganda where they execute people for holding a dime bag. I am so excited to be off to a new place with so many new things to come! The orientation brought my attention to the differences I might be facing when I am abroad-- especially about unsubstantiated anti-US prejudices. This bothers me, but I will be able to cope with it.
I want to thank my mom and dad for the gift card to Borders for guide books. THANKS GUYS!
