Hey you!!
No, I havne't abandoned this journal I'm just selective about how I use it, try to keep some of my most poignant memories in here.
Today is Hilda's Day, which is basically a celebration of why my college, St Hilda's, is so awesome! The whole day is spent in celebration and so I thought i would write you all out the timetable so you can see just how we celebrate here at Hilda's! It's a great day for me because moving into Hildas this year has really put my whole life on a different track, as opposed to last year, and I think I'm learning alot about myself and about other people and about all sorts of different things.
6:45 Go to the bottom floor of my block because all the girls from college are gathering there to do 69 shots, one a minute, to begin the day! My roomie and I have prepared some goon punch and although I don't take EVERY shot, I still manage to get to the end of the 69 minutes without feeling too drunk and without spewing! Incredible.
About 8am We meet up with the guys who have just done a Centurion (100 shots) and some of them have pretty strange new hair cuts or hair styles. There's Maccas brekky but the majority of people are kind of wasted and just stumbling around and falling over and its all pretty funny to watch if you're NOT drunk and from what I hear, its also fun if you are drunk!
9am Everyone else goes to a bar in the middle of the morning, but I elected to take a nap.
12:30 BBQ Lunch! Everybody is decked out in their crazy hilda's stuff!
1:30 We have the whole Hilda's photo, and we're all wearing our hildas stuff so its a big sea of green and blue. There is also a 'informal' shot where everybody is holding beers and the like.
2:00 We head down to a local pub called PUGGS. They're used to Hildas people being crazy so it'll be a good afternoon!
6:00 Formal dinner - yes we have to wear dresses or similar - and we all eat roast and similar meals.
8:30 Op Shop Formal Turn - basically a hildas style party where we all dance to crazy music and drink more goon punch (ew)
Sometime later...we all somehow get to bed... apparently..
So as you can see, I am due to be heading down to puggs!
For all of you worrying about the status of my liver, I can assure you that I'm actually doing okay- I am taking substantial breaks and stopping drinking whenever I am feeling a bit ill. Sounds like a good plan to me :)
So, I wish you all a HAPPY HILDAS DAY!
