Seachain an duine a bhíonn ina thost

I'm sooo tired. Went to Manchester yesterday for the Student Radio Association North-West/North Wales Regional Nominations Party (even the acronym is mouthful: SRANWNWRNP), hosted by the lovely Fuse FM. They did such a good job, arranging three speakers for the afternoon, a private room in a restaurant/bar for our meal and nominations announcements and a private area in a really nice pub opposite the BBC afterwards.

The best bit, though, was the fact that Storm got nominated for Best Marketing/Branding and Best Live Event/Outside Broadcast. I'm feeling so proud! Looks like a big gang of us will be heading to London for the Awards Party on November 15th -- should be a fun (if expensive) night out!

We didn't get back til 2am last night and despite sleeping soundly in the car on the way home (thank you Spencer!) I am exhausted this morning.

Tuesday was tiring too: I had my second driving test on Tuesday morning (which, thankfully, I passed this time). It's just so mentally exhausting doing a test like that, particularly with the enormous number of mistakes I was making in my practise hour before my test. I even managed to pull out in front of a bus, which really shook me, but I managed to calm myself down for the test itself. The test was in and around Bangor which was nice, and my reverse-around-a-corner was on the corner opposite Jenna's house I always practise on anyway. So that was good.

Then in the evening we had Council. I quite enjoyed it, except it went on a bit long and I never feel right refusing to discuss something (there was an Undeb Trading matter people were asking questions about, but since Council has absolutely no power over Trading and since it was already 10:15 Sam and I felt there was absolutely nothing to be gained from the discussion) but the tone of the whole event was much more relaxed and friendly than last year. I hate when it becomes Council vs Executive -- we're all working towards the same aims so it seems silly -- and it was refreshing to find that that was not the case on Tuesday.
