We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcasting to bring you the 103rd annual coverage of Hell Week.
The course is laid out. All the obstacles are set. Now it's time to begin this year's exciting race!
The freshmen engineers are at the starting line. The gun raises... BANG! And they're off!
And the pack races towards the first obstacle, the Engineering Expo! Here the (literally) poor students have to run to Wal-mart and target, and find purchases appropriate for a job fair. Did we mention there is only 15 minutes to complete this task? Because that's when the store is going to close. Alright, they have their clothes, now they race to the bookstore to buy padfolios and resume paper... Alright, now they're printing their resumes... Oh wait! What do we have here? Yes, they've come to the info session obstacle, where the guest speaker tells them they didn't really need to buy that resume paper after all. Tough luck, boys and girls.
Undeterred, the engineers head in a pack to the Expo. They manage to make it through okay... Special Guest Star Leah gets an interview there... Look, there, some of them have Tshirts... and they're past the obstacle course. (With only blisters to stand as a testament to their work)
They're coming up to the next hurdle... Yup, you got it! The dreaded FIRST TEST OF THE YEAR obstacle. They manage to clamber over that one, only to be quickly confronted with the equally dreaded SECOND TEST OF THE YEAR obstacle. They quickly pass through the third test of the year obstacle, and race across the drillfield in an exodus, past the jeering upperclassmen, holding signs of "Turn back now" and "It really is that bad, switch to buisness". After a tough scramble, they make it through the fourth test of the year, some of them more bloodied and battered than others. Now they have to face the last main obstacle standing between them and the weekend... you guessed it. The formidable Test Number 5! Uh oh, there appear to be dragons here too...
Stay tuned for continuing coverage.
