Its that time of year again when Christmas draws closer and 2009 nears the end… students toodle off home (usually with a sack full of washing for mum and dad!) and university activity lulls to a stop (Except them PHD “students”). Scogui certainly have been busy bunnies this autumn term!
Since we last reported, we honoured halloween with a murder mystery night – complete with some cringeworthy name puns and spooky treats. Watch out for Pete & Fe turns out they were the ones who did it – but the guy that dude was a vampire anyway, so we aint too upset. The following week we skipped along to a dry ski-slope for some Sno-Tubing and some bonus tobogganing! Both proved to be a lot of fun – especially when going down the hill in a circle of 4!
After that it was mini-pioneering with bamboo sticks, a most fun night which saw a bunch of product designers putting the engineers to shame! Friday 13th then saw Scogui joining the rest of SSAGO in Leeds for the Emergency themed rally – all went well despite the date! Overall a very good rally, despite the lack of barn dance and chicken!
Back in sunny Loughborough, we got to know our own turf better by doing a town trail. A very fun night and a good excuse to wander away from campus for a while!
Next Scogui showed that we can do more than camping by gracing the dance floor. The jive dancing group from before returned to show us some moves; a fun time was had by all (not so sure how well the moves went down the following stupid tuesday!). After all the activiness of jiving, it was time to put on our best Xmas fancy dress and make like a brownie with some Xmas Craft! Though some of us struggled with the instructions designed for 5-year olds (or maybe that was just me…) and some issues with putty like glue (thanks tesco!), it was a fun enjoyable night.
Finally we come to our Christmas meal. We put on our best dresses and suits and went to The Maltings for some good old traditional festival foodings. Lots of food was eaten, secret santa’s were shared and we all went away feeling very Christmasy.
That was the end of the official Scogui Autumn Term. Although you will be sure to see us gracing FND with our presence to wave good bye to the autumn term and the deadlines it brings…. only to welcome in the spring term, and its wonderful exams.
Merry Christmas Scogui Friends.
Have a good Christmas Break, revise hard and see you all next term for it all to start again!
