About to make the big move....
I am roughly 12 days (give or take some dealings of a personal nature) out from moving to Aberdeen, Scotland for my MLitt degree, and I am beginning to become a nervous wreck. I mean, I have all my paperwork together, entry clearance and all done, and most of my boxes are packed and ready to be shipped. I will be staying in temporary halls until I move into my dorm room flat later in the month.
So.....Is this normal? I figure I have nothing to fear, but I have never lived outside of the States in my life, and am fully aware of the major change of life this will be. It's getting to be a bit crippling in terms of getting anything done in a timely manner, plus this is only the second time I have been away for an extended time period from home. Maybe some current Scottish residents-native and otherwise- can give give me some pre-and post-adjustment tips? FYI:I am in my 30's, rather introverted by nature, a bit bookish and a native of Florida....and don't mind the odd drink or two. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Thank you to everyone who commented with advice and just good luck wishes. I am beginning to feel less like a coward and more....uncowardly. LOL Oh I forogt one thing- those people from the US, how did you sjip your stuff over? I have a couple of companies in mind, but as it is turning out I have a couple of last minute money issues so I need to make a decision by Monday or Tuesday.
