In the library, should be working! :D

Well hello there, faithful readers!
Last time i blogged i told you all about the thunderstorm that we had on Thursday! Well, Friday was a gorgeous day, the sun was out, George Square and the Steps of the concert hall were packed with people enjoying the change in weather! I handed in assignment number 1, only 4 more to hand in (but i still have 3 of them to write, hmm) then had lunch at Pizza Hut! (which i still owe Sharon money for!) Was playing pool in the afternoon, i was so surprised that gamezone was open, it did have a dampish smell to it tho!

BB Inspection on Friday night, again i didn't have a seat, so sat on the floor beside stuart or infront of anna to take pictures! After the inspection some of the officers were going up to Massimos for a drink or two. Anna and i headed up first and got ourselves a cocktail, im really into cocktails, this time it was an orange and peach bellini! Others came, chatting was done then we left at 1 (that rhymes!) Tesco was xciting as usual on Saturday, infact i can't remember it at all! i didnt get my break until 10:45, which meant i only had an hour to work when i had finished my break!

Saturday night i was working at the Golf Club for a 40th Birthday. It was pretty hectic, there was 4 of us behind the bar. However i was able to realise a few things: first, working behind a bar is quite a 'touchy feely' job, or maybe it was just the guys i was working with, but if u needed something you would just kinda move the person out the way, and someone was constantly putting glasses away near your legs as you were preparing a drink! Second, i realised that drunk man can be very 'caring' shall we say! One guy put out his hand, so i thought he was going to shake my hand, but no he kissed the back of my hand and then started going up my arm, i was like eh no, and pulled my hand away! Thirdly i realised that i like the busyness of working behind a bar, you're just about always on the move with something to do and it gives your legs and arm muscles a great work out! Lastly i realised that the tips from working behind a bar can be very good! we each got £19.50 in tips and i think they took £25 from the total to buy drinks on their night out on sunday. plus i was personally give a £5 tip, which was again very kind of a guy who had had 'a little' (hehehe) to drink!

Sunday was church, and i was on Sunday School, with my primary 7s to S3s! It was good fun, we can talk for ages on really random things, but then when i get onto the more serious Bible Study, they all become as quiet as mice and don't want to say anything! Sunday afternoon was meant to be spent writing assignments, but i dont quite know what happened! but i did get stuff for my presentation done! Sunday night, church about The Da Vinci Code! twas very interesting, we watched a DVD discussing the fact that the Bible is not actually corrupted as Dan Brown suggests! Then onto a Romania Metting, which last for 3 hours!!! we didn't get home till 11! grr, but a lot of work was done stuffing envelopes and organising the football event, anyone own a bouncy castle that i could borrow??

I shall leave you with the children's memory/talk thingy so far! "The Lord's my Shepherd, I have everything i need, He makes me lie down in green pastures." Psalm 23:1-3

i can never think of cocktails without laughing about that one joke in chicken run...

yes, drunk men ARE very 'caring...' i've had to deal with my fair share out on the river. smiling and nodding is the best way to handle it, i think. and having a guy friend with you is nice, too.

so... 29 days til i'm in the uk... woooo!
:) smile. :)
