A New Hope

In true Party Train Capitain (Capitaina) tradition I have not caught the party train more often this semester than I have caught the train. It has been a long semester full of late nights at the library cursing book hiders, GCs and dentist appointments.

On the one occasion that I did catch the party train I found myself, a mere third year, to be the oldest person aboard and completely out of my depth. As conversation turned to the similarities and differences between the Islamic religion and Christianity I felt sure that this was no time to offer to battle someone off in a standing on one foot competition. The only edible substance in sight was Angus Court's roll-up (if you can call those things edible) and the only commentry on fashion was seriously opposed to 'Giodano-wearing Christians'. The absence of a purple jumper sealed the deal and the Party Train of the Lenfers, Pedleys, McSevenys, Perks and Bullens were over.

But there is a new hope. The new WPT-ers: Andrew, James, Elaine and Briony (and possibly Tim if he didn't jump off the train as the doors were closing) have spririt. Though slightly better dressed then the old crew they have the westy passion and the potential to adapt to the culture. The new crew brings a new hope and I sincerely wish that this episode ends with a light saber battle that may or may not result in the birth of a young jedi.
