I know lately the majority of my blogs have seemed quite ranty, if that's even a word. Having said that this blog is also going to be kind of ranty but I will try to move away from these types of blogs.
What I want to talk about today is organising get together's with friends. The reason I want to talk about this is because about two weeks ago I put out a facebook event for my friends and me to meet up, grab a few drinks and catch up. Although I did this two weeks ago to get in early and get things planned, things were still being changed and planned the morning of the day we were meeting.
For years now, me and my friends have faced certain challenges in regards to meeting up, the biggest being where we all live. Due to all the small villages and the distances in between them, we do to a degree have to plan meet ups, in order for people to work out train times, figure out getting lifts or booking taxi's...
With the end of university, figuring out times when people aren't working is now also another big issue.
We did eventually manage to sort things out and came to the decision on meeting up last night. In the end everyone did have a great time and most of us ended up leaving the night with more money then we started with, due to a little trip to the casino.
I can't say how frustrated I was at times trying to get people to reply and figure out what was going on. You'd think getting 11ish people to one location for a certain time would be easy, but factoring in all the location and schedule problems turned out to be really annoying.
Just really glad the end result was worth the hassle. Now to organise a few more before we all leave and go back to uni.
