A very good day - Wednesday

I got up early enough that I could have been going to my 0900 lecture. I was of course not going to the lecture, I had a Faculty Rep meeting. For those that did not read last time, I'll give a brief summary of the key things that did or did not happen in the meeting. There were no snacks provided It was in University House, the room was "well posh" 90% of the Lecturers wore Suits I was the only Student There were about 20 lecturers There was no free food there Clearly this is not an acceptable way to run a meeting, you can't have a lack of free food there. I therefore went to Tesco and bought 20 doughnuts. I arrived early, sat down and messed around with some Objective C. When everybody turned up I went in and placed the doughnut bags just infront of my computer, right where they could be seen. Once enough people were in the room I announced that owing to the University failure from last time, I had provisioned doughnuts myself and expected that it be remembered. Lots of jokes were made about me getting more marks and the University paying for some food next time. Last time I had a meeting it was an SSCC meeting, this is a Faculty meeting. Last SSCC meeting I mentioned someone by name who requests I don't mention him by name this time. He scoffed on two doughnuts but wasn't so sarcastic until we left the room. Yeah, you know who you are! This time there was one other student, he didn't bring any food and didn't talk to me a vast amount, meh, his loss. After the meeting I went home and did a load of PHP stuff before going to Immanuel for some Evangelism training. It was really good, really encouraging and I feel a lot more prepared for Mission Week. I might as well say what Mission Week is as the rest of my day involved Food, PHP and Warcraft 3. Mission week is a week of heightened CU activity. Jo made some cool fliers which have the info on them. But I'll put it here too. Each day we have a "Lunchtime Lounge" where Michael Otts speaks on a subject such as "Why does God allow suffering?", "What kind of God allows violence in his name?", "What kind of Loving God would send people to hell?", "Doesn't Darwinism disprove God?", "Why doesn't God make it more apparent that He exists?". All of them are free and involve free food (guess where I'll be each lunchtime). They're all upstairs in the Union. Additionally, we also have an "Acoustic night" on Monday in the Albert Bar, South Parade Pier 8pm - featuring Glass Darkly www.glassdarkly.co.uk. A "Quiz night" - Thursday in Bar 38, GunWarf 8pm - prizes for the winners. And last of all, a "Cafe night" - Friday in Bar 38, GunWarf 8pm - where people can chill out and ask questions in a cafe/bar environment. Before you come with the aim of eating just free food, I've been told lots of times to make sure that I tell people that all evenings do involve a message of Christianity. All students are welcome and I see no reason why lecturers should not be invited either, heck, for those that like them, we might even have Custard doughnuts!
