Scottish bonfires....

Just something fun for the end is near! Thank you all who've put up with my slacking off, and forgetting to blog and so on and so forth. We are in Revision week! (great, a whole week to study and pull my hair out....fantastic...)Anyways the end is nigh, and as I am holed up in my room surrounded by Shakespeare and theologians, I thought a fun blog would do. This weekend marked the beginning of the end and to celebrate, (mostly because I'm broke and couldn't go to May Ball which cost £70!) we headed to Waltzing on West Sands, the equivalent to the ball. At 7pm, we put on sundresses and sandals, packed up some blankets and sweatshirts, got a subway take away dinner, and headed to the beach! Of course, since we had some time to spare and the sunset was gorgeous, we detoured to the Weak Bridge on the Old Course for some more pictures. No golfers potentially endangering our lives this time....;) Once we'd had our fill of group pictures, solo pictures, and of course funny pictures, we headed down to the beach. We pitched our little camp (which consisted of Hailey's beach towel and my scottish blanket) and settled in for some food and a good time....that lasted about twenty minutes and then we started getting freezing! Hailey, Meg and I ran down the beach a bit to warm up and by the time we got back they had started a bonfire, so we moved our little gang to the heat. It was quite nice just standing around a warm fire talking with friends, holding a Dr Pepper (we chose to forgo the alcohol route). You know how back home when we have beach bonfires, they normally get to the point where someone pulls out a guitar and starts singing tunes.....well, in Scotland it's a bit different. Here, guys pull out their bagpipes and start a ceilidh! It was quite amusing to see people just shout out a dance and people running around to get in line. It really was quite nice. We were there until about 10:30, so we really didn't have a drunk people problem. It was genuinly a group of students just having a good time around some bonfires on the beach. It was lovely. A good way to end one period and start into another....the study mode.....super fun...My first exam is in four days, so start praying! This could be interesting...

Cheers!
