Prague

Its been a while since my last post. Just a quick updates on a couple of things with me. The main one is that the plans seem to be in place for me to study at the Czech Technical University in Prague next year, for a full year. The forms are being faxed tomorrow and if its God's will I shall be there next year for 3rd year. I have a few fears and such but that is for another blog post.

Also exams for Uni so far have gone well. With 3 out of 4 results back from semester one I have an average of 90% which is superb :D Praise god! Semester two seems to be tough, with a lot of hand ins, labs and studying to be done. Also I need to get a summer work placement sorted out and am in the process to applying to places. I hate writing CVs/cover letters!

Finally, back at football, we won 3-2. Also was a superb wedding over the weekend. I only got to play the first half as I had to run off to the wedding. Busy few weeks ahead. I hope to blog with some interesting things. I have a superb youtube video, please use your discretion as it has a slightly vulgar moment where someone makes a gesture, its not the joke though. Sorry for those who deem it inappropriate! Enjoy :D

CU Missions Week

This is taken from an email sent to CU people:

"This February, all the Christian Unions in Glasgow are joining up for a dedicated week of outreach.

It is aimed at students around all of the University campuses in the city. The week will start on Monday 4th and will involve various daytime events in each of the universities, and with evening events on the Tues to Thurs evenings.

Each of these evenings will run with the same format. The early event is called The Lounge: it will be chat-show format and will include elements of music, video, testimony, Q & A’s, and talks from Mr John MacKinnon. Later in the evening we are holding Acoustic Musings: a chance to relax and chat over the talk to a background of music from local Christian songwriters.

The overall theme of this week is Satisfaction. We’re going to be looking at understanding and challenging the ways that people find satisfaction in life, and taking the opportunity to tell people about the true satisfaction that can be found through Jesus Christ."

As far as I am aware the Uni CU's taking part are: Strathclyde (Both Campus'), Glasgow, Caledonian University, University of Stirling, Glasgow Art School and RSAMD. The Website dedicated to it is: www.areyousatisfied.co.uk.

It would be kool if you are the praying type to pray. There will be free lunch given out on main campus at Strathclyde near the halls from 12-1 on Tues-Thurs which people can come and get! So come along, student or not and get free things.


We are having a 24/5 pray thing this week and Wednesday was Strathclyde's day. Was good to go along and spend time in dedicated prayer to one thing with no distractions, thing is I don't like being quiet when I pray so I ended up pacing around the room, must have been rather annoying to the others around!

Anyway, come along, I should be at a few things with friends so if you want a beer and a chill then email me!
