Cheers

"All in this mottie, misty clime,
I backward mus'd on wasted time,
How I had spent my youthfu' prime,
                          An' done nae-thing,
But stringing blethers up in rhyme
                          For fools to sing."

- Robert Burns

hey. for those of you who don't know me, i'm matt. in a nutshell, i'm a third-year college student from the southern U.S. studying abroad for a semester in Edinburgh, Scotland. if you haven't been here, please come.
this place is beautiful.

but first things first: i have a journal. this isn't it. there, i often write things like "fuck", and "God", and "she's the one". here, i simply wish to share my experiences abroad with the friends and family who might be interesting in hearing about them. also, i think that such a record will be quite valuable in later years for personal use. via this blog i'll post photos, findings, anecdotes, insights, jokes, and anything else that might help document my time in the UK. i sincerely hope that you will enjoy what i have to share, and that in some way it may inspire you to do a bit of your own "studying" abroad. cheers. xx
