Scott's Spiel

So we had our 1st year Medic Ball last night. It was in the Crowne Plaza hotel on the Clyde, which was great for me as I didn’t need to worry about taxis. I went all out (quite rightly so) and hired a kilt for the night. This proved a great source of comedy to my non-Scottish friends. Disappointingly, a few of the Scottish ones didn’t opt for the kilt! We got a 3 course meal of melon, chicken and chocolate moose. The latter we were all told to eat hands free (see bottom right) which ended up with a chocolate food fight between the tables. Not sure the hotel staff were too pleased with that.

The meal was followed by a ceilidh on possible the smallest dance floor I’ve ever seen. Not quite sure how we managed to get a Strip the Willow on it but somehow we managed it. After the ceilidh, which didn’t last quite as long as it could’ve, we had a very cheesy disco. Regardless of the cheesyness, everyone seemed to enjoy it and most stayed till the end at 1am. After that, people were divided on what was going on. I was half expecting people to go back to mine but (perhaps luckily) that didn’t happen. I wasn’t up for trailing around in a hire kilt which was likely to be vomited on so headed back.

And now, with 3 weeks to go till the exam I really should get my head down and do some work. The problem is flatmates aren’t quite so bothered, so I think I’ll be spending a little bit more time in the library from now on.

We’ve also got a flat viewing on Wednesday. This one has a lot of hype on it for being an excellent flat and I wouldn’t be surprised if we go for it. Amazing this flat can have a good reputation and we know nothing about it, other flats haven’t had such an advantage.
