This August I am off to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study abroad (English Literature) for one year. At Edinburgh University in your second year you can apply abroad for third year to Australia, Canada, or the States for any subject, then you come back for your final year to complete your degree. This means 100% of your degree rests on your fourth year scores if you go abroad. I only applied to the States purely because I wanted sun...couldn't hack another year of blistering wind and rain that we experience in Scotland!
And with just over 1 week until I go to North Carolina, I have a lot of people asking me if I am nervous, excited, scared...
My checklist goes as follows
1. Join a sorority
2. Reply: Yes, I do know Prince Harry
3. Ask for a 'rubber' in an exam
4. Go to basketball/baseball/soccer games
5. Buy all UNC merchandise possible
6. Get skilled at beer pong and flip cup
7. Try a corn dog
I am hoping to tick all of the boxes.
And as to my cherubs back home; I'm gonna miss y'all.
