Road trip!

Okay. So it had kinda been planned already that at some point before Olivia and I moved to England we would go and visit Sarah in Galashiels. However, we then realised Angela was on the way so we would get her to come too. The only problem we were faced with was we didn't know her address and we didn't know if she would be in. (We were surprise visiting ya see!) So  somehow we managed to get everything planned. And at the last minute it turned out Olivia couldn't come. Or atleast, she didn't think she could. Then I got another text saying come now. So I literally jumped up and went and picked her up. 
We got a few things ready and then headed to Edinburgh to pick up Angela from her flat. It was on the way there I was told some interesting news. But wasn't too hung up on it. When we got to Angela's she showed us around her little flat and introduced us to her room mates. It was sweet! We then all got back in the car and headed up. We eventually got there. It felt like absolute ages, but yeah we managed! The next thing we needed to do was figure out how we were gonna let her know we had arrived and were at her uni.. So we asked some random, funny talking, footballer to take out picture outside her halls. His exact words were.  "you bein serious?" YES WE WERE. So after teaching him how to tap a touch screen, he took our picture and was off to run around a field for a couple hours. ANYWAY. We sent this lovely picture to Sarah. Only for her to say "outside where?" She then realised and phoned me and the next thing we saw was her coming down a hill. We ran and met her, and then hopped back into my car and drove up to her car park. We got a few things and then headed for some food.
We went to Mcdonald's. I have never been so 

unimpressed in my life. Here was me thinking, 
have my last mcd's before I move. So I'll have 
my favvy meal. Double quarter pounder with 
cheese. Medium fries. And a Fanta. Oh, and 
cause I was extra hungry, I wanted a snack 
wrap thingy. So I ordered it all and it came
pretty fast. Well, the meal did. The snack wrap
was nowhere in sight for a good fifteen minutes, then again neither was a quarter pound of burger. Apparently they don't do them? EHHH YEAH YE DO! And eventually my snack wrap came too. It was rank. So all in all. Don't go to Gala Mcdonalds. It sucks! We then went back to Sarah's flat and hung out there! We met a few of the girls who live on the same hall as her. They were so nice, and so funny! Was happy to see she was so settled and she definitely fit right in with them. Hearing stories from their nights out were funny. Especially when one of the girls said something making Sarah go so red and the rest of us just awkwardly laughing. It was awkward, but hilarious at the same time. And the awkwardness lasted for a millisecond! We took some pictures for memories. It's weird to think by a week on Saturday we will all be scattered across the UK. Me at Capernwray, Olivia in Newcastle, Angela in Edinburgh and Sarah in Galashiels.  

We left Sarah's at about half ten. So that we weren't home too late. We managed to get home at about one. Angela was coming home to Prestwick so we didn't have to go into Edinburgh which was lucky. On the drive home I realised the girls I'd been with all evening were truelly my bestfriends. Them and Kezia. They'd stick up for me. Make me feel better when i was down. They knew exactly when I was down even if it wasn't obvious. And most of all they told the truth to me. Even if they were being brutally honest. Realised people who aren't willing to be open, or straight with you, aren't worth the time. By the time we got home we were all pretty tired and looking forward to getting to bed. I climbed into bed only to find two hot water bottles in my bed. My mum had put them there for when i got in. I'm so glad we have a much closer bond now. I'd hate to think I was moving away and still didn't get on with her. It's amazing being able to talk to her as a mum and as a friend! Anyway. That's all for now. It's only eleven days till I move and I haven't even got close to packing up my room. I just kinda aimlessly stare at it, hoping somehow it will do it all by itself. Here's hoping!
