It's bean a coffee kinda weekend!
I am tired! It most probably has something to do with driving over 500 miles in 4 days!
It all started on Thursday! After being ratified as VP at CU, I left with Louise, Alison and Dave (who had just been ratified as treasurer). Ratified is such a funny word, sounds like an operation or something! Anyways the four of us left about half an hour into the CU AGM so that we could get to Perth for the Switchfoot concert! Which was brilliant, Perth Concert hall has a sprung floor, which was very nice when everybody was jumping around! After some excellent manouvers Louise and I were 3 from the front in the middle! Louise even got to shake Jon, the lead singers, hand! It was then a nice drive back down the A9 in a lot of fog! I eventually got hom at 2am!
Then came Friday, a 2 hour tutorial at 9, then PE was cancelled in the afternoon. At 3 i headed off again, this time to Dundee to stay the night with angela. We had dinner n caught up on each other's news and then went to DUCU (Dundee University Christian Union, incase you couldn't be bothered working it out!) and then to Tesco, don't you just love late night trips to Tesco, ah the hilarity! Saturday morning i had some breakfast and then dropped Angela off at a conference she was going to and headed up the road to Aberdeen! However on the way there a lorry had gone off the side of the road into a ditch and there was a crane there to pick it up, so our side of the road was closed and we all turned off at the junction to Fettercairn. And i was driving along thinking, I've only been to Aberdeen once, and i don't know how to get there now! :( But i just followed the car infront and we all went on a nice little detour at 50 on a (just about) single track road! Twas gr8 fun! I then got to Aberdeen and met Lorna, we had lunch and got a few bits and pieces and headed up to Peterhead!
You haven't experienced true driving until you've driven from Aberdeen to Peterhead, with no shelter from the North Sea and the wind pounding the side of your car! After arriving in P'head, I was taken out for coffee with all the Small females! aka Mrs Small, Lorna, Claire and Alison. Then we watched a film before Lorna, Claire and I went for a chinese with 4 others from their church. Then back to the house to watch the results of Dancing on ice, and Gareth (who was on my Step Out Plus team all summer, and who i hadnt seen since August) came round for a cup of tea! Then it was bed before getting up to go to church. After lunch and watching American Idol i went with the entire Small family (minus Stewart (their brother) who wasnt there) to see their new house, which isnt even finished yet, the interior walls went in last week. From there i headed back to Dundee to have dinner with Angela before driving the last 2 hours home to Glasgow! And that was my 500 miles!
Sorry that was such a boring post! I'll think of some funny stories to tell you next time!
My weekend was a great time of fellowship with friends from all over the place! :)

500 miles in Scotland is not bad considering how rather tiny the country is, but if you reealllly want to have a long distance car trip to brag about you definitely have to live in Canada...
One trip that we've made a couple times now is to a teeeeeeeny weeny town just inside the Ontario border and a straight line from Calgary to said town is 873 miles which means that the actual drive is probably closer to 1000 miles and we do that all in one go! And then you have to drive back again. Ohhhhh the fun of spending 16 hours in a car... :>
