Dearest Evangeline,

Pray for me, dear sister, for my future begins tomorrow!

Ahh, Edinburgh. If there was ever a city where Deschanels truly belonged (aside from New Orleans, of course), this lovely Scottish haven of gothic and romance is it. I thought I’d be homesick. Instead, I feel as if I’ve arrived home after a long absence.

I walked the Royal Mile this evening. I think I told you that my flat sits at the end, only two blocks from Edinburgh Castle, a monstrous thing resting atop a prehistoric volcanic rise. Beautiful, although the strategic high ground and improbability of enemy breach was more than likely the top concern of the original architects.

Sorry. You know I can’t turn off the scholar, even when I want to. It’s a sickness, I tell you. And one I know you understand all too well, little sister.

Only to you, could I ever confess how nervous I am to start at the university tomorrow. While Mama brags to complete strangers at the grocer about how her eldest daughter was one of only a handful selected from the United States for the University of Edinburgh’s Neuroscience program, the thoughts running through my head are more along the lines of how disappointed she’ll be should I fail.

My mind is running so many different directions that I can’t focus on anything except my hopes and fears. They whirl to the brim as I fear collapse. Will I become the next successful Deschanel or a complete embarrassment to my bloodline? Stay tuned.

Hugs to Mama, Charles, Aggie, Maureen, and dear Elizabeth.

Love,

Colleen
