Pub Crawl

This was my shirt...everyone wrote on it. (CX stands for Cairncross)

This is Ashton Lane...where all the pubs are.

Me and Sophie were tied together

Kitchen 44-(from left) Sophie, Becca, Emma, Sophie, and Debbie in front.

They were playing some sort of inappropriate game.
I was trying to play the game, but I lost (I'm the one int he white t-shirt)

Becca was trying to tell us how to play

This is Kelvin Way, thru the park.

What looks like could have been a Shakespearean Theater in Kelvin Park.

Kelvin Way...at night those trees look very menacing, and since its so damp its usually foggy.

I went to my IFSA dinner last night, and apologized for all the deadlines and meeting I missed. They were very nice and smiled and said don't worry about it. It was all good. It wasn't only the people from my program, but it was the Glasgow Art students and the year long students at the dinner. I sat next to a girl, Emily, who lives in Cairncross (the dorm I live in) on the same floor as me. We exchanged phone numbers and room numbers and we walked back together. She told me (this is the second person to tell me this) not to walk along Kelvin Way, thru the park, alone at night. (Apparently there has been a stabbing and raping.) Which I have been doing, and frankly I've been fine. There is a no gun law in the UK, so I feel relatively safe, and the only other way to walk back would take an extra 30mins. Emily said she would come knock on my door today, I hope she didn't forget!

Then I went to the Cairncross Pub Crawl. My whole dorm building went to 4 different pubs and we had to have a partner that we were tied to. I came late cuz I walked w/Emily after dinner to her dance studio. So I was tied to a French Canadian girl that I met at orientation. It was a bit overwhelming for me, lots of people and I become shy and awkward. After we could untie ourselves, I pretty much attached myself to Debbie so I don't get lost and can find my way back, and that's what I always do when I go out w/them. Paula is a bit strange when it comes to being sociable, and always seems to disappear by herself, which I hate cuz I live w/her and want to get to know her, but she is never around.

I ate lunch in my kitchen today and got to talk to Emma for a good 30mins. She's really nice and always talks to me. Its easier for me to talk one on one than in a huge group, so it was nice just to talk and share. I like Emma, but she seems to be Paula's best friend, and kinda follows her around and is always fighting for Paula's attention, tho there is no one to fight for it...its odd.

On another note, I finally found almost all the books I have been looking for. I am behind in my reading somehow...I don't know how it happened, it's like we covered two books in one week and it origianally sounded like we only needed to read one the first week...then again I have a problem w/listening and understanding due dates...
