hello all!

I don't know if this is going to be that cool funny blog that makes everyone laugh and wish that they were me. I don't know if this is going to be that boring blog that is a grandparents joy and has all of the details of my time abroad with none of the adventure. I don't know what kind of blog this is going to be, but hopefully, as I find my way around Europe, Ill find my way around this.

In two days, I leave for Edinburgh. And in true Mira fashion, I have not even finished packing. I have the strongest urge to bring everything in my closet, but then I also have the strongest urge to bring 4 shirts, 2 pants, and 1 pair of shoes. I'll probably end up bringing  all the wrong clothes and have to buy a completely new wardrobe (HAH just kidding my mother would disown me). I like to be prepared and have options for everyday, but I realize that having options is not an option seeing as I can only have 2 suitcases and one of them is a traveling backpack with not a lotta space. But packing has made it harder for me to actually think about the fact that I'm leaving and probably won't be home for 7 months. SEVEN MONTHS. The cats will forget I exist! Francis-Our-Bishop won't recognize the person who feeds him! Logan will probably have stolen all of the clothes I left at home! I'll forget what Johnnies Beef tastes like! Wait, who am I kidding? I could NEVER forget Johnnies Beef.
But alas, I am going and soon I won't even care whats going on at home cause I'll be exploring my true homeland, the cold, rocky land of Scotland. I can already tell that the Scotties are my people. The kind of people who look at the cold as an excuse to wear cozy sweaters and leather boots. The kind of people who drink whisky and pints and all the other good things in life.

I must go now to finish packing. I am going to make no promises of how often I come on here. You all will just have to check everyday, hoping that I posted some more amazing tidbits of my life up north.
