glasgow....

Given that i havent blogged in over a month, i dont really expect anyone to still be reading. However, for my own sake i wanted to blog, because there's been a lot going on these last few days,and i want a record. Daniel once said to me reading blogs is like reading someone elses diary; if that be the case, welcome to my diary.

On friday, so five days ago, i left newcastle and moved to Glasgow to start uni. I can't believe it has only been a matter of days, i feel like i have been here years. I've met so many new people - the hall im staying in is fantastic, and ive also had to go to some introductions for my course at the campus, so have met people there too. Im sharing a room with the lovely suz, which has given me what i feel is a fab balance of having a familiar face within a crowd of new ones.

Our first three nights (and early mornings...) were spent at the GUU (Glasgow University Union), which is comprised of ten bars and a club called "The Hive". Much dancing and hilarity was had by all, although like suz i did get to a point where i felt uncomfortable some aspects of the evening. We then spent our fourth evening at the other union (The Queen Margaret Union), which of the two is better known for hosting live acts - we went to see "The Automatic", hopeful of a good night out, but apart from "Monster" they sucked. However it was not an entirely wasted evening, as it confirmed what i'd suspected - that i much prefer the GUU, and will probably be taking up membership there.

There's not much else to say at the moment, except that we're having a great time, and i feel like i have come home. Its taken me two years to get here, and as of being five days in, i havent felt like ive been in such a right place in a very long time. Thats not to say there havent been slightly low moments - of course i miss alan, and its challenging to be dropped in the deep end. But God is good to me, and i know i am in His arms. I'll update soon :)
