How's it goin buddy? I got to find one of the courses here last weekend. It's in Colchester at the university of essex. Awesome course! I only played the first two holes and it was badass! I had the wife and daughter with me and it was around 35 degrees so I couldn't finish, but I'll be back soon to check the entire course out.

You know Im not that home sick just yet. It's just that everything is different and I'm not use to it. I just get on here, listen to music, fly my plane, or watch the local news in OKC online and I feel like I'm there and I'm fine. It's different here though. I'm looking forward to the experiences to come. I can't wait to get out and play the courses here! I will definitely do some sort of video like forest did at will. I'll try at least. Lol

We've got some friends in Edinburgh that are going through some hard times. My dads old school chum is going through chemo right now and we are trying to get over there. I'll let you know as soon as I know more.*

Happy new year and the next four years will fly by. See ya soon.*

Glad that you are getting settled in. Yeah, the culture shock can be extremely rough if you've never dealt with it. You'll get used to it. It gets better. Oklahoma will be here when you get back. I was lucky in that I was 18 when I hit the culture shock. Happened to me in Lucerne Switzerland. It was during the second week that it hit me hard. That night, in the hotel room, I was listening to USO radio and Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" came on. Everything went back to normal and the homesickness went away. I hope you can find something that does the same for you. Just think, you have access to a lot of different cultures to get immersed in. It will be worth it in the long run.

Now, every time that I go overseas, I don't want to come back to the US. Hopefully I'll make it to the isles this summer.*

Hey bud! How's it going? The UK is definitely a lot different than the states! I didnt think i would have much culture shock until i got here. I miss Oklahoma a LOT! Especially when i think about it and know that i'll be here for the next four years. How are you?
