Hello there blogosphere!
It is an interesting life here in Edinburgh. The weather is cold, my house is cold, and by hands are currently freezing as I type, but the people are warm, and its never a dull day. What am I doing in the wonderful city of Edinburgh? (you imaginary readers ask) Well, I am a masters student studying an Msc in Animal Bioscience. What's that all about? (my aren't you talkative) Well, its a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. We do bits on pathology, lab stuff, and down to learning about statistics (yay!). Like every good and true scientist, I try my best to give an answer that doesn't promise anything just in case someone else finds a better answer.
Being an international student, everything here is quite different. The buildings are large and huge and a bit more grey than I'm used to (not that I am complaining I really do love the buildings! They are wonderful!)
But as a third culture kid I have moved around over the years thus have been inoculated against the dreaded disease of culture shock. Nonetheless, moving anywhere new is always an experience, especially moving somewhere new to start a new program, whether it be middle school, or even doing a postdoc, or even moving somewhere for work, everything just seems a bit daunting no matter how many times you do it. But we all just have to remember, if you are starting new, then most others are starting new also with you, and thus like the rest of the 99% of us, you are not alone.
