You may think from reading this blog that I am a raging alcoholic. In fact the truth is it’s nearing the end of term and so the Final Years (who are graduating) need little excuse to hold parties and balls, and the Third Years (of which I am one) need little excuse to attend said shindigs. And so yesterday we went to the May Ball – 5.30pm til 1am, with champagne (aka bucksfizz) reception, sit down buffet, disco, live college band and my highlight of the evening – a ceilidh!
How bizarre – I just reread the email about the ball and apparently there was a casino?! I can’t imagine I missed that – I wandered about a lot. :confused:
So yes – a good time was had by all. With girls outnumbering boys 7 to 1, not to mention all girls in high heels and ballgowns the ceilidh was extremely entertaining. Drunk people can’t keep time either so the end result is a bunch of girls staggering around aimlessly trying to remember who’s supposed to be male. The college band wasn’t too shabby either – they played some pretty good stuff and they played it well to boot.
I shall have to get the photos of this and of the Halfway Meal developed and show a select few here. The innocent must be protected!
The evening had it’s sad moments – tis H’s last party before she leaves us all forever in 5 weeks time. We’ve both sworn to email each other twice a year – neither of us have perfected the art of “keeping in touch” so twice yearly is actually quite impressive. She’s coming back to college next year but will be in the year below. I’m sad as I get on best with her out of our group – plus we’re the bitching queens and I’ll not have anyone to bitch with anymore! We’re going out to lunch tomorrow and end of term meal is planned. ‘Tis a very unhappy Kai that will say bye to her good friend in 5 short weeks :(.
