Was at a ceilidh tonight

As the title slightly suggests, I was at a ceilidh tonight. It was the annual Scripture Union one. And it was good. It was in my old secondary school, which was kinda weird to be back in, but it was good. Lots of people were there, including a lot of people that I hadn't seen for a quite a while, what with being at uni and all. Was good to see them, and get some crazy fast dancing. I even won a game of knights, caveliers and horses. In all fairness, me and my partner were up against two other sets of teenagers and a lot of little kids. But we still won. And got some chocolate. Also discovered that since one of my friends is so light, I could just spin and she came up off the ground, which made it even faster. I got laughed at by a girl called Robert too.
Anyway, all of the dancing and playing games and seeing people again made me realise just how much I miss Dumfries when I am away in Glasgow. It is quite weird, because when I am away, I don't really seem to miss it, but when I come back, I don't want to leave again for some reason. It's very weird. I have started to get the feeling that it is because I don't get to see people as much as I used to, and since MSN doesn't work on my computer when I am in my flat, I don't get as much chance to talk to them either. On that subject Colin, I may visit your flat with my computer to make use of your internet for MSN based purposes. And to talk to you I suppose.
Anyway, after all that thoughful rubbish, a round up of the weeks events since the burning. I sat my mechanics exam, left half an hour before the end, and even think that I did well. I didn't leave because I was useless and couldn't do it, but because I had actually finished, which made me happy. Then got a train home, and headed out to Colin's house, for a night of messing about and playing my ps2. I took it with me, we didn't have controllers with long cables. So we had much fun. We ended up watching Black Books at one in the morning too. Brilliant quote: "It's such a hard decision, I'll just have to hope that when I flip a coin to decide, it explodes into a million pieces and kills me." It honestly is such a funny program. We then finally slept, and went into town. Visited Kings (Coffee, Books, Life), had some lunch, wandered about, then Colin was meeting someone, so I left. Just as well really since I needed to pack for returning to Glasgow tomorrow with all my stuff. And that was pretty much my day, since I've already described the ceilidh. Just need to sleep now before church, and my return to Glasgow.
Update Y'all soon.

i cant say anything on leaving home and going to uni, as i generally go home everyday!
There must be something nice about being away from home tho? even if it is just when you go back and everybody is excited to see you! and think of all the people who live at home, and then the holidays come and everybody leaves uni! (lol, i guess its not that bad!)
Alastair, how did they decide the winner for knights, caveliers and horsemen? up this way it is normally decided by a wheel barrow race, which is bad when guys are wearing kilts, and even worse when they're being true scotsmen! (now I know why kilts come with a pin!! :D )
