8 Days a Week!

Yeah so the title has week in it, which is what i was looking for, plus the Beatles are always good! :D

And it has actually been 8 days since ive written somthing! so since i last wrote to you all i have been to the Strathclyde University Dance Society (SUDS!) show. it was really good, definately put me in the mood for dancing, but i have refrained!

Thursday i slept late (woohoo!) and then did uni work all afternoon before going out to CU at night, Friday i handed in that uni work, after doing the bits that i didn't know i was meant to do! Then we had our first lecture in over a month, it was on emergent literacy in 2, 3 and 4 year olds. After the lecture it was into the union for a celebration of finishing placement and ST Patrick's Day. A couple of games of pool were played, cards were played, drinks were drunk (mainly Irn Bru for me! yum!) and much banter was had. The Strathclyde Students were out in force to celebrate the Day of St Pat, but i'm sorry you should only wear a 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' shirt if you are in fact Irish! Unlike the American who was wearing it and felt he had to come and talk to us whilst we were playing pool!

From the Union i headed to meet Alastair before we sauntered out to Dennistoun for more St Patrick's Day fun. Again much eating of sweets and chocolate was done and Irish card games. Anyone up for a game of Leprechaun? I wasn't working on Saturday morning, so Louise and Alison very kindly let me crash at theirs (and Katie very kindly, although i don't know if she knows it since she was away, let me sleep in her bed!) There was a lot of hilarity and other people singing like rubber ducks (i won't mention any names, at this point in time anyway!) before going to bed at 2:30.

Saturday morning was a first for me, i saw Dennistoun in daylight and actually walked through Dennistoun. It took me 1 hour and 25 minutes to get home from Dennistoun. But that included stopping to get a packet of crisps and some juice, being stopped by a guy from 'The Church of Jesus Christ for Latter Day Saints', pausing at the bus stop to ponder whether to wait for a bus or just get a train, buying a train ticket, buying a Yorkie bar (i don't care if the packet says its not for girls, sometimes i want to eat a Yorkie bar, and they're not going to stop me!), waiting to change trains at Westerton, walking home and being stopped by Alastair (from church) to organise a rehersal for EPIC music.

Then when i got home it was a very quick wash and change before heading out to Asda to bag pack for BB, we raised almost £850 yay! Saturday night it was a night out with Rebekah to catch up, we had a nice(ish) meal in Papperinos and then went to see Final Destination 3, which made us jump sooooo much, im not actually sure how much of the film Rebekah saw! Sunday was church in the morning, EPIC practice in the afternoon, Church at night, me leading the Post YF group, then a meeting about the Wisconsinites coming to visit at Easter.

And, i will let you digest all of that before i tell you about my Tuesday! (i know i missed out Monday but it wasn't that exciting other than i bought a pair of brown boots in the Sale!)

Take Care and God Bless! x

I wasn't celebrating St Patrick's day as such, just an excuse (as well as finishing some stuff at uni!) to hang out with friends. But Alison and Louise are both Irish, so it was fun to celebrate with them!
I think i'd like a 'Say Hi! I'm Scottish' t shirt. when iwas in Chicago i saw someone wearing a tshirt saying 'I Like Switchfoot' i really wanted to tell them that i like switchfoot too, but i didnt as i felt it would be kinda weird! lol!

I can't say I've ever been stopped by a Mormon. Did you ask them about their jutification for polygamy, or the convenience of the Angel Moroni only "lending" Joseph Smith his divine plates, or "The Pearl of Great Price", canonised after it was burnt to a crisp?

Just to get the conversation started :)

I Really don't know very much about the Mormons and because of that didn't really want to get into a big theological debate with him. (plus i had to get home to do bag packing! lol!)

I was also stopped by someone later on in Sauchiehall Street, they were a group from the Zion church in Glasgow (i'd never heard of it!) but when i told her that Rebekah and I were Christians she was very happy and kept saying 'Praise the Lord' on a very loud voice. I don't think she was actually going to let us leave, but then i wish them all the best with the work that they were doing, she said thank you and then we left.
Amelia, i love the 'do you smell?' shirt, that would be a great conversation starter! I have the Third Day shirt and it says 'I Believe' on the front, n i occasionally get random people asking what i believe!
