HW Freshers 2010

Day 2 of Heriot-Watt Freshers started pretty early for some with two fire alarms in quick succession not long after midnight! Naughty! But on with the week and we’re getting into the swing of things now!

As it was the first Sunday of the year there was a non-denominational church service at the University Chaplaincy this morning, which was followed by a pizza lunch, a pretty tasty morning!

This afternoon we had some organized football going on outside the Union with two matches happening side by side. Players had to be extra careful though, with regular shouts of “Heads!” as a rugby ball was kicked over the games! But, before the footballers had even kicked off we had a Freshers Helper hobbling to the sidelines with a sprained ankle! Ouch!

Later on, The Union’s nightly program kicked off with comedy hypnotist Alan Bates entertaining us all! Among some of the laughs was when one girl was convinced she was John Barrowman! Also, a male Little Bo Peep has been looking for his sheep; “Jack Black” was seen roaming the Union and Santa’s helper told us that someone wanted a sex change for Christmas! All of the hypnotized guests also performed a lap dance! Raunchy!

Then we had the night’s main attraction. It was UV Neon night, and everybody loves a neon party! We started dancing around 11pm with everyone beautifully kitted out and plenty of UV paint used! There were one or two of us that maybe had one too many, but it was a heck of party!

Now for a good night’s sleep so we can be ready for Day 3, when we’ll have the likes of Dick And Dom’s Dunk Tank Tour and a Skool Disco as well as the Battle Of The Halls Launch Event! And don’t forget the outdoor Bar & BBQ outside the Union all afternoon!
