10 Days and Counting

In 10 days I will be boarding a flight to Edinburgh, Scotland where I will spend 12 months working towards a masters degree in International Law at the University of Edinburgh. My last blogging attempt was approached as a means to stay connected with friends and family while studying in Cape Town, South Africa in the spring of 2009. Pleased with the result of my Cape Town blog, and ready to start my next abroad adventure, I figured I would begin a new blog and give my friends and family an easy way to keep track of me the next 12 or so months. Here you will be able to find photos, videos, and long rambling descriptions of my new life as a student at the University of Edinburgh Law School.

I am currently beginning to think about starting to pack...and otherwise preparing myself for the big move across the pond. I had a great going away party this past weekend where I had friends come from as far as Minnesota to attend and say goodbye! Watching friends from high school, college and my time in Cape Town in one place mingling and having a great time together was exciting and a great way to spend my last weekend in Massachusetts. Next weekend I will be in NYC for a music festival and will be back home on Monday before shaping up and shipping out to Scotland on Thursday!

Once I figure out my mailing address I will post it here, in the meantime you can always contact me by email (alexandra.edelstein@gmail.com) and Skype (alexandra.edelstein).

ALSO! I have a US GoogleVoice phone number which means you can call me/text me for free from your cell phone to my computer! Like Skype, this is a free way to call me, however this way you can call a real phone number from your real phone and be able to reach me! You can also text message me at this number and I can reply directly to your cell phone for free. My GoogleVoice number: (781) 285-8012*. So many fun, cool ways to keep in touch!
