Floor Crawl







Wednesday night was floor crawl, which is sort of like a pub crawl but on our floor. People get in groups of three's and make a themed room with a game and the entire floor goes from room to room. The theme this year was party so there was an office party, children's birthday party, shower/rave party, supernatural sacrifice party with a fog machine and our Alice in Wonderland tea party. The game we played involved having a partner, walking in a big circle until I would yell out two different body parts. After I did that, you have to find your partner and touch those body parts together, for example: nose to elbow. The last partners to find each other is out of the game and skulls some tea. After floor crawl was mystery pub night where the Gassie, the large blue truck that is sort of like a wagon in the interior collects everyone and takes them to a mystery location. We take the Gassie to sporting events and to various functions. The record number of people stuffed into it is 56!

Tomorrow is Alpine Day, the greatest kept secret at St. Marks. Many say it is the best day of all of college. The day involves hunting Yeti's and drinking their blood after the kill. In past years, people have gotten sent to the hospital for various ailments. It is an all day outdoor event, but after tomorrow, when I find out what it actually is, I still won't be able to share. Wish me luck.

Update

I'm back in Australia and I apologize for the lack of posts lately.

Since I've come back I've had a lot of catch-up work to do and a lot of soccer to practice for. I filled in for some girls during a netball game last week and decided to never play that sport again. The first quarter I played, literally every time I touched the ball I got a call. The rules are dumb in that you can't move your feet when you catch the ball and you have to be at least 3 ft away from the person with the ball.

Today was our last soccer day. We played two games and didn't win but it was still a lot of fun. The weather was shit in that it poured all day. at the end many of the girls did a mudslide.

I got bullied into trying out for the volleyball team and have been extremely busy with that as well.

Music night is coming up soon and I am playing a duet with a fellow collegian.

I will post netball pictures when I get a chance.

I am leaving for New Zealand in a little less than two weeks and it just happens that I start in Christchurch, where the massive earthquake was. I hope that doesn't affect our travel plans.

In 2010, I have flown over 65,000 miles. That's enough to circle the earth 2.75 times!
