It gets dark at what time?

So this is my attempt at a blog. And I must warn anyone reading this, I'm not much of a blogger. In fact, I'm the type of person who gets overwhelmed by the amount of words in People magazine. Because of this fear of long articles, textbooks, and the massive amount of printed books, in general, I'm very hesitant to add to the number of words floating out there in the world. But, that said, I am contradicting my past convictions and starting my very own blog.  I am hoping there will be people out there who are much less intimidated by reading, who will actually read this. 

So, the reason for starting this blog? I actually have something to write about... Sort of.

I am studying for one semester (September to December) in Scotland- Aberdeen. I know nothing (very little) about Aberdeen besides its geographical location. I have also learned that at sometime during my stay it should start getting dark around 3 in the afternoon. Currently, it is 57 degrees in Aberdeen. Fact about me: I don't do cold or dark well.

So this should be interesting!

A few last warnings before I start this: 1. Please excuse my use of exclamation marks, I'm expecting they may get a bit tiresome to those not blessed with an overdeveloped sense of enthusiasm. (They also get worse as I get more tired). 2. I'm not completely reliable with things I'm supposed to voluntarily keep up with (journals, diaries, emails, etc.). This forebodes that I may not be completely reliable with this. I may write on here every day or I may (more likely) write here twice while I am in Aberdeen. 3. Please excuse the parentheses (they seem to be a bit excessive here (I'll work on that)) 

Hope you enjoy my travels! I have a way of getting into strange situations
