Scotland: Sunshine, Cheesey Pop and Broken Glass

It was a beautiful day in Glasgow yesterday. Kathleen, Becca, Bex and I went shopping downtown. We didn't really buy much, just walked around for a couple hours. It was really nice and relaxing. It was so sunny when we came back we took some of the common room chairs outside and sat, basking in the sun. We were waiting for Bex to come out, and when she finally came outside, she had a box that had been delivered for her. She opened it and out popped a balloon that said I love you on it. A year ago she met a guy when she was backpacking thru India, and this guy is completely head over heels for her, but she doesn't want to be held back from experiencing her life. He has told her he'll wait for her. I've never met this guy b/c obviously he lives in India but I really hope Bex ends up with him, he seems like the perfect guy and even she admits that he is.

Anyhow, back to my story. We sat out in the sun for a good 2 or 3 hours, just talking and every so often someone would come join us for a blether (chat?). I got sunburn, but just one side of me, cuz we were sitting weird. Finally, Kathleen, becca and I went inside and we made some pizza for dinner (Bex is a nutrition freak and pretty much just eats fruits and vegetables and weird concoctions she blends together so she didn't eat pizza w/us).

Last night was a beach party theme night at The Hive (student union club) and Kathleen, Bex, Paula and I were gonna go to it. Paula does not sit still for more than 10 mins b4 she needs to be off and doing something. So while I was waiting for Bex and Kathleen (both possibly the slowest ppl in the world and never ready on time) Paula left for the hive to meet us there. By the time Kathleen and Bex were dressed, then Bex did Kathleen and my makeup, we didn't get to the Hive until almost 10. Since it was the last night, it was packed, Paula had gotten in, but we couldn't get in. There were a few other Cairncrossers who couldn't get in and ended up at Fabian's flat (Paula's bf, but he wasn't there) b/c he lives across from the hive. So we stayed there for a while, until this guy Iain told Bex that he is in love w/Kathleen and was gonna try to tell her how he felt. Kathleen freaked out, dragged us w/her into the bathroom to plan an escape route away from Iain. We ended up getting kicked outta the flat and going to Cheesey Pop, the other student Union, with Iain and the other Cairncrossers, spending much of the time keeping Iain away from Kathleen.

Cheesey Pop was fun...until we were on the dance floor and someone had just dropped their glass beer bottle and it broke on the floor. It was beach party theme, and I had worn flip flops. Someone must have kicked the broken bottle and it cut my big toe. It was dark and the music was blaring, and I tried to yell to Kathleen and Bex that I needed to go to the bathroom and wash my toe. They were like oh your ok, let's just dance to one more song. Kathleen says, don't worry, glass makes a clean cut! So I was like whatever, ok, and we kept dancing. Finally I said I really need to go check my foot. They reluctantly said, ok lets go out in the light. We walk outside, and I look down to see my foot and flip flop covered in blood.
Kathleen tells the bouncer lady, who takes us into first aid and cleans off my foot and washes my flip flop for me and bandages up the toe. All the while, Kathleen is telling her the story of my low pain tolerance and how last week I let Becca wax my eyebrows and I was complaining of the pain and the lady was laughing at me, as my toe bled all over the place!
