Wednesday: Of Expanding Readership



I have subtitled today as “5 things to annoy me”, which I will not bore you with. Needless to say, I had a crap day. I had more food delivered, and this person delivering it was completely useless and not as pleasant as last time. Also, I had to bring all the bags (of which there were 12) upstairs by myself, opening two doors etc with no help because the deliverer wouldn’t leave the truck and the flatmates didn’t come to help. Some of the essentials that I’d ordered from ASDA weren’t delivered (things like milk and bread), so I had to walk down to Lidl and buy it, and bring it back to the flat.

I then went to the Late Society Fayre (they’re spelling, not mine). I spent the next few hours hanging out with my CeltSoc friends: Phoenix, Jenny, Naomi, Katie, and Kerri (listed in no particular order). We had a lot of fun, and I chatted with the reps from Ab-Fab (the Gay Society from campus) which shared a table with us. Alison from CeltSoc wasn’t able to be at the Fayre, but she made some AWESOME decorations for it. While at the Fayre, I met Adam Khan of the AUSA (Aber. Uni. Student Assoc.). he holds the title of President of Charities, which is cool, but not how/why I met him. He’s friends with Phoenix, and some of the others and he and I verbally sparred (and flirted because I’ve been flirting with almost everyone today – it was one of those days and flirting makes me feel better!) while at the Fayre, I pulled up my blog to show the pics from the Ballad Bus to show Jenny, and Kerri, Katie, and a few others started reading the blog. They seemed to like my (very twisted) perspective and commentary, so they will (theoretically) be reading this as well too, so heya to them.

The temperature today was rather chilly; we hit -2 for most of the morning, so it was a little… fresh to be without my clothing for cooler/colder weather.

That evening, I met up with Julia and we went to dinner by Jenny; she cooked this decadent aubergine lasagna thing which makes me drool just thinking of it. it went well enough that the three of us have decided to make it a weekly event.

To get to Jenny’s, Julia and I took the bus from res down to her flat. It was the first time I was on public transport in Scotland where there was no scholastic purpose behind it. Added to that, it was a Double Decker bus! My first time on one and I sat up top looking right out the window; it was fun, save for when the window was smashed by tree branches, or I had to climb down the really narrow stairs to leave the bus. It’s a start, no?
