  • Dear Scotland,

    http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12">

    Dear Scotland and friends,

    Nearly a year ago today, I had the most emotional day of my life. 

    I was leaving Chicago O’hare International Airport and on my way to Glasgow. I was full of energy, tired, happy, sad, excited, scared, miserable, anxious, and confused. All in the span of 24 hours. It was exhausting.

    Then I arrived in Glasgow…

    Day 1: Shopping. Food. Shower. Sleep.

    Day 2: Bewildered. Tired. Meeting the flatmates. Sleep.

    Day 3: I fell in love with this experience.

    Sure, I missed home here and there, but not enough to make me want to leave.

    Everyone always told me that I would hit a wall. The “honeymoon phase” will not last forever.

    I never hit that wall.

     

    Thanks for the best year of my life guys.  Cheers to better ones to come.

    Love always,

    Lindsey

    P.S. All of you have an open invitation to my home…any place, any time, any year. Keep in touch.

  • Goodbyes

    I was sobbing when I left Melissa today. Hardest goodbye of my life.

  • WeBooks.com


    This is a website where you can read the first pages of novels written by people looking to get published. It's essentially an online publishing network.
    You can rate stories or upload your own. It's awesome.

    I found it via this website: Stumbleupon.com

    This website is addicting. You mark your interests and click a button that says 'stumble.'
    Then you stumble upon various websites that might be of interest to you.

    I love the internet. And, contrary to popular belief, I even have a life! ;p

  • It's been a long while.

    Has it been forever or what?? I haven't looked at Xanga since almost a year ago.
    I just read through 2 years of old journal entries and realized how much I miss it.

    To recap, for readers...I have been living in Glasgow, Scotland. I have been studying abroad for two terms.
    I made an external blog to be able to receive credit from my university. And I was going to keep up with Xanga on a more personal level.

    I didn't keep up with either online blog.
    I also (around last year) wrote a post about how I wanted to start keeping a written journal. Fortunately, I sort of kept up with it. Better than Xanga or Blogspot, anyway.
    Overall, I did a terrible job of keeping up with my thoughts throughout this whole experience. I don't know if I have outgrown this journal (don't really care to call it a blog), but I am going to try to get back into it.

    But goodness, where do I begin...It's been a year, and an eventful one at that!

  • Leaving TODAY

    The day has finally come. I leave for Glasgow from O'Hare in Chicago at 6 PM tonight.

    I have been a nervous wreck about travelling there all because I was missing some documents. however, these documents are something that the UK Border Agency never returned to me when I applied for my Visa. And the only place I would need to use my documents would be at the border. So...why wouldn't they give them back if I needed them. I'm pretty sure I am worrying for nothing. sigh.

    This is all written on my other bolg. the one I can turn in and get class credit for.

    I will still be keeping up with this blog though. You guys and girls will get the juicy details. haha. I will let everyone know how my flight and first day goes once i get time and internet.

    peace out United States. I'm going to miss you.

    @lindsey_rose - I don't understand the chatboard either. I'll be part of your experiment. :)
