"Mummies & Daddies" is a optional part of university. The 2nd years organize everything. They are supposed to be our mentors if we need help with classes/practicals or questions in general. Not sure that will work out well. The parents are always 2nd years but strangely enough, both my parents are younger than me. Sigh.
Tuesday night was our meeting/induction. The point of the night was to get the freshers as uninhibited as possible. All the freshers had to be dressed as farm animals while the 2nd years were in full-on farmer costumes. I quite liked my handmade cow shirt! Elizabeth made her and Sami pig ears and noses. The girls and I were the first freshers there. It was a pretty big flat. Good thing too! There ended up being nearly 40 people crammed in. Anywho, we were told to sit down and pretty much didn't move the entire night. We made some delicous bucket punch! And our dad kept refilling our tiny cups (sadly, no typical red Solo cups). There was really cheap yet delicious pizza and I got Fun Dip!! I love the tasty white sticks that are used to eat the flavors. Lots of well done costumes! My favorite was a swan. The girl had attached orange rubber gloves to her shoes and had a feather tutu! There was a rousing game of Never-Have-I-Ever...bleh. All of a sudden, we were herded outside to the waiting taxi caravan.
The taxis took everyone to The Three Sisters. The whole 2nd floor had been rented out just for the vet students. We made only in to use the bathroom. Elizabeth needed to go home but I wanted to stay out. However, my mum ushered both of us into a cab. Probably for the best...it took me a good 5 minutes to pay the taxi driver. All the while, Elizabeth screaming at me to give him a good tip! She managed to unlock the building door but the flat door was a little harder. Chris had to let us and reassure me that it was only 10 o'clock as I was certain it was 2 in the morning. It was quite a sight to see. He had to help me off the floor at one point. I did manage to stay awake for another hour to help E-beth then I was out. Sami made it home sometime later but not without Chris's help. Apparently, she had trouble with the stairs...poor Chris has to be the best flatmate ever!!
I did see some great pictures from The Three Sisters. Lots of fun dancing, the occasional person being kicked out.
I'm sad that I missed out on the dancing. However, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed if I had stayed out any later. Not only that but I had a practical as well. It was funny to see who wasn't in lecture and watch everyone nap during break. I swear half the class was asleep!
I don't know how much more debauchery will happen with the 2nd years. It was a lot of fun!
