28/05/08 – 2 Months to go!!

Howdy everyone!

I’m Lynne, in my first year at the University of Glasgow and going for my second year in the Unversity of Queensland, Australia in less than 6 weeks. Totally terrified and keep having all these wacky dreams but I think the experience will be awesome!

All the visa is sorted, accomodation almost there, I just have to figure out how to do a foreign money transfer, flights paid (whoa what a fortune) and just planning in my head what I am going to take with me. Having a wee look online for bikes on ebay near where I am staying, and for mobile phones available in the area aswell.

Can’t say I have sorted work out there yet but I have noticed a Nine West shoe store in Indooroopilly shopping mall not too far from where I stay. Haha I have a little shoe addiction.

Anyway, I think over the next few weeks before I go I will have a look at 1.visas 2.accomodation and 3.courses. I have spoke to one of the Glasgow University students who is over there this year before I have went and found that immensely heplful to just letting me know what I was doing. Little pathetic questions I had I could just ask Mhairi, as I felt much more relaxed speaking to her rather than sending an insignifigant question to someone in the university. So I can take some of the information she gave me and pass on my thoughts on that too. Which hopefully should be useful for anyone going next year.

Well, I think that’s me for just now, See ya!
