Today was May dip! It is a tradition that on the 1st of May at sunrise the students of St. Andrews run into the north sea to rinse off bad luck. Also if you step on the PH that is in bricks in front of the main academic quad, which is where Patrick Hamilton was burned at the stake for being a Protestant reformer, then to avoid having the rest of your academic career cursed you must do the May Dip. I did not step on the PH but I still wanted to do the May Dip as it was an experience that I will never have again. We ended up going out last night and then going back and changing once the pubs closed around 2am and then heading down to the beach. There were bonfires and everyone was hanging out on the beach. It was so great and I actually got some good pictures as well. After the dip at around 6am I made it back to my hall and took a shower--there was lots of sand in the bathrooms this morning oddly and headed to bed.
Classes are coming to an end (so soon! it is crazy!) and one of my classes actually ended on Thursday. I have lecture on Tuesday and Thursday next week, with one paper due on Tuesday and then I am done with school work except for finals. My finals are May 22nd, 25th and 26th. With the break we have between classes and finals some friends and I are heading to the South-East coast of Spain to Alicante for the 11th-14th. We want to get some sun while we are studying! I am looking forward to the trip! May 10th is May Ball--which is the Ball put on by the Kate Kennedy club. The KK is a male charity organization that is known for wearing their tartan trousers around town. And of course as you know May 9th is my birthday! I will be 21! I can't believe how old I am! May is turning out to be a very exciting month!
Love y'all and miss you!
