I suppose I should post an entry, shouldn’t I? After getting our results, me and the girls round the corner went to see POTC 2 to celebrate. Very wicked indeed – must go again! And on Saturday, we went to Magaluf! We = 112 vets in one hotel in the middle of Chavland. Oh didn’t we feel at home (not).
It was a good week in a way – in that we did rather take over the resort to some extent – they aren’t used to groups that big. Highlights were nice meals in the various eateries, a fantastic stage show on the last night called Pirates: Uncut, and lots of dancing (we won 3 bottles of champagne for our Irish and Country dancing (attempts) during the week!). We managed to find a tiny bit of culture in Palma, the capital of the island, but otherwise it was a mini Britain all the way.
On Tuesday we graduated, which was a speedy affair! 150 people up on stage, speeches, prizes and all done by 12.30. We then went home briefly for a Harvester lunch and then back into London in the evening to see Under The Black Flag at the Globe (noticing a somewhat piratical theme?).
Yesterday (Wednesday) was the Grad Ball which went off very well. I was on the committee and designed the tickets (yay me!). Twas a good evening – despite people’s misgivings about a Caelidh a) in heels and dresses and b) in this heat the dances were full to overflowing. If anything the disco bit was less full, although we all turned up for 500 Miles (our song) of course. People got very teary at the end though – lots of hugging etc. as many will not see each other again, especially the Americans. I didn’t – am apparently not soppy. I stayed over Little Chef’s and the Deserter’s house and we went for a lunch today before I wandered home home. Is it wrong to be more excited about this (link to 512 RAM chip) and this (link to GeForce 6 nVidia card) hopefully coming in the post tomorrow than graduating?
