J- Day

'J' for Jump

jump, vb.  -to spring off the ground or other base by a muscular effort of the legs and feet

On Sunday, 'J' stood for JUMP! The aim was for it to be a rather energetic day, jumping up and down stairs, through doorways and of course, doing the pier jump!

First of all I was off to Church in the morning, a great service and jumping up and down the spiral stairs was also a fun experience! Trying to convince people to join me doing the pier jump later that day was not so successful, but in the end Jon and Helena were the ones brave enough to jump with me! 

We got to the pier sometime around 5.15pm, I hadn't been nervous about it until Jon had done some fun impressions of how I would probably react to the cold water, which looked more like someone having a seizure... I was now nervous... a little. With a small audience of friends and cameras, the pressure was on to jump! The 3 of us ran and jumped in together... and it turned out to be so much fun, we got out... and jumped in again! LOTE! (for those of you that don't know, 'LOTE' stands for Living On The Edge and is totally the new, fresher, upcoming version of YOLO... it WILL catch on... someday... maybe)

I have to say, if there is any student in St Andrews who hasn't already done the pier jump, you definitely need to get round to doing it, it's a great experience! Just make sure you have a towel, warm clothes and some supportive, helpful friends for when you get out!!

LOTE!
