Just so you all know that we don’t study all the time, I’m posting what we did this weekend (actually, we’ve done a lot more “not studying” lately than proper studying!).

Friday Bryce and I stayed in and rented “Big Fish”. It was a funny and endearing movie and it was great to get cozy and relax to a film! Saturday, we spent the morning sleeping, relaxing and doing a bit of work. We then met the Hays and Randalls for Doors Open Day - a day in which a lot of private buildings open up to the public for the day, and it’s free! We met Andrew and Kay at 1 and then once the Hays showed up (at 2 - Sarah was getting her hair cut), we saw a number of things by the University - the central mosque, McEwan Hall (an amazing circular building with three tiers, old wood, domed ceiling and wall paintings; coincidentally it’ll be where I graduate), Surgeon’s Hall (where we got to see what Kay calls “all the gory bits”), Greyfriar’s Kirk, and Magdalen Chapel (which has the only pre-Reformation stained glass in all of Scotland). We then went over to the Hays for a lovely Mexican dinner and a few rounds of Cranium!

Sunday we went to church in the morning (the Stubbs’ newest baby was baptized!) and had a relaxing afternoon: Bryce worked some on trying to figure out the new program for our blog and I took a nap. We then went to the evening service where David’s preaching through Mark (that morning he finished his series on Ecclesiastes). We chatted a bit after the service and then were invited to the Randalls for a quick supper; it was lovely to hang out with them and not have to cook for another time that weekend!

This week I’m determined to get a lot of work done; it’s hard not having classes with things I ‘have’ to do. Anyway, I’m going to sit in on a seminar this term to keep me up to date on transatlantic theory and besides that I’ll be spending a lot of time in the National Library of Scotland. Bryce is off with David at the Rutherford House for a talk this morning. Then he’ll be spending lots of time studying for licensure and working on his sermon for next Sunday evening. I’ll be at the seminar and then the STAR seminar; we’ll have about 40 minutes to eat dinner together and then he’s off volunteering at a Christian cafe which ministers to international students. And I thought we’d be spending our Mondays together…oh well.
