Crazy Quasi-Baptismal Traditions? Jolly Good! (Wotwotwot!)

Today was a St Andrews Uni day if ever there was one. I got up before dawn to go jump in the North Sea at first light, then went to a Polo tournament in the afternoon.

So tonight has been an evening of relaxation and napping. Debbie, Hannah, Dave and I watched 'Trainspotting' and 'The Incredibles'. Now I should go to sleep, as I've gotten far too little in any of the last five days or so. It's been an eventful weekend. Saturday we went to a Medaeival fair at the Castle, then to a Garden Party in Hall, followed by fireworks in the evening. There was also a dance-type thing between the Garden Party and the fireworks, but I slept right through it. The fireworks were amazing, though. I've never seen a display like that when it wasn't some sort of public holiday, or the state fair. Sunday I went to Meeting, then a few hours recovery nap, then a barbeque on the West Sands with my Academic Family, followed by again staying up far too late.

And on a final note, Sufjan Stevens is amazing. I copied a random CD off of Lorry last year, and it wasn't all that great; only one or two songs grabbed my interest. I'm not sure what album that was--I think it might be a mix of stuff. But a few months ago I downloaded his album 'Illinois' off a fellow pirate student, and oh my stars, it is amazing. I like it more every time I listen to it, and I seem to get something different out of the songs each time, too. Wow.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Melissa and Sara H! Melissa, I'm sorry my phone cut out; it is a crappy phone :-/
