Prom in a field

This was Sara's idea. She didn't want to go to the regular prom and so organised our own leavers thing. She did go to the prom in the end, but we still had our leavers. We all turned up and dumped our stuff down in the field. We got the trampoline down into the field which was a pretty treacherous task. We insisted on rolling it down. There was danger of tipping. We found a slightly less life endangering method of getting it back up.

We had a bbq courtesy of Sara's parents up in the garden and drinks too. We were presented with gifts from a girl who's in the year below, but friends with all of us, so she feels especially like she's losing us. We each got a red shoebox and it in was a picture of some half naked girls for the guys, half naked guys for the girls. Sara got girls. I got both. We also got chocolate sauce, saucy underwear and handcuffs with keys. It was a great present. She'd labelled it "survival kit for uni." Girl does good.

As we were too far away from plugs for an extension chord, so Sara and I had invested in over 50 tiny jam jars and a whole lot of tea candles. We lit them all in the dark and set them up on some dressage kit. They looked incredible. It was a pretty good night. I hung out with Sara mostly and we slept in my tent. We used the cover on top of the tent to keep dry which was stolen later by people who were wet.

The tent even with the cover stolen, held dry. Until I started you know... poking the sides. We slept the longest out of everyone until 8.30 because we were both dry and warm. Breakfast was nice, weather was pretty awful though.

During the evening it turned out that I can't sumo wrestle because I can't stand when my gravity is so far off what I'm used to. We did also try to get some chocolate wrestling going with a couple of females, but the chocolate sauce was far too sticky for it. It ended up being a sugary, grassy mess.

All in all a good night. Good to see people especially as I won't be seeing a lot of them for a while or at all. Weird how everything is moving so fast now.
