Don't let the cave-in get you down

So I'm making a film* for the 60 Hour Film Blitz.

Ten minutes ago, I just got footage of our Association President applauding the university's commitment to equality, as shown by their decision to allow dinosaurs to matriculate.

*When I say 'film', well, the rules say it can't be any longer than three minutes. And we're supplied with dinky little cameras just a tiny bit bigger than cameraphones. And I've never done anything like this before omg. Mostly I'm enjoying the opportunity to interview people about dinosaurs at university. Diplodocus in social anthropology! T-Rex in IR! Triceratops in english lit!

The other night was a lovely and awesome 21st at a friend's house. We played party games! The first hour or so was spent making piñatas (L and I made a spider because our house is just FULL of them right now. D: Others included a fish, a pig, what was supposed to be another guest's face, a space alien, a boob, and a balloon).

I was then introduced to the American invention, 'smores'. Our host, an Actual American, shipped Actual American Food to herself for this very reason; as a result, we had Gram Crackers, Jetpuff Marshmallows and Hershey's chocolate.

SCOTT: Oh my God, I love Hershey's. It's better than Dairy Milk or Cadbury's by far.
ME: ... get out of this country.
SCOTT: It's true!
ME: You're no longer a Scot. You're no longer even a Scott! From now on I'm calling you Steve.
SCOTT STEVE: :(

Then we went searching for bananas, which had been hidden all over the front garden. It was a really fun night despite having to leave before eleven. It's made me very, very excited about finding Freshers to adopt, because it's traditional to play party games with them before getting them very, very drunk and dressing them in silly costumes for a giant foam-fight in the quad.

HURRY UP UNIVERSITY HURRY UP.

Man. The end of the year is always so sad. I haven't finished exams yet but the weather was so gorgeous the other day that we wound up sitting in the beer garden of a nearby pub drinking pitcher after pitcher of pimms, before grabbing a home-made pizza meal at our friend's place and heading out for pier-jumping and a bonfire. We didn't pier jump, but L did get me up on her back before running full-speed towards the edge. I MIGHT HAVE DIED.

Luckily, thanks to some golf championship or other, just about all my friends are staying for the summer! \o/ EVERYWHERE is looking for staff, and I have one official job and two potential jobs lined up already.

The last exam is political philosophy. It's a first year module and I am feeling dangerously confident about it. Oh well - it's political philosophy, and some of the questions should be quite interesting, although I need to focus a little more on economics than I'd like. Oh well.

INCIDENTALLY, THIS TIME NEXT WEEK I WILL BE IN JAPAN. Which is exciting.
