Catch up on events!

Living on campus or as the Aussies say it, living on college, it is like Harry Potter. We have formal dinners with each student wearing a robe, each dorm or house has a crest and colors, we compete against each other in sports, and there are house rivalries. Living on college allows us to go to events such as the sporting events, formal dinners, and the upcoming event called HallBall. This is the prom of uni for kids that live on college. Everyone dresses up to the nines and you can take a date if you want. Apparently there is a bus that all of the students take to the ball at a nice venue. There is a dinner and dancing. The ball will be happening in two weeks.

At the beginning of the semester, there was something called proposal week. During this week, residents of TEDs could "propose" to someone that also lives on TEDs. They could be anyone you want, a crush, a friend, an enemy. Well, they have a week to come up with some thing clever, entertaining, and funny way to ask this special someone to marry you. After this week, the ResLife committee vote on the best proposal. The winners have a bachelor and bachelorette party aka hens and bucks night. They then have a wedding and are "married". This past weekend was the hen's party and the wedding. All of the girls went on a pub crawl for the hen's night and the boys did the same for the buck's night. Saturday night was the wedding. All of TEDs dresses up and attends the wedding. The tradition is that the same wedding dress is wore every year and the groom has to get a funny hair cut. We celebrated at the reception at the popular bar, Customs. It is a very fun idea that some of us Greek kids here want to take it back to our unis as fundraiser or Greek week event.

The wedding!

On our way to the reception.

Grace teaching me how to score in AFL

This coming weekend I will be heading to Melbourne to see 2 AFL, Australian Football League, games. It is it's own sport and has nothing to do with rugby according to my friend Steven! I will be meeting up with my friend Jason who lives in Adelaide. I met him this summer through a coworker. She studied abroad here in Adelaide and started dating Jason. he visited her this summer and we all met and talked Aussie things! Any who, we will be touring around, and seeing some of the best games of the season according to Jason. Grace attempted at teaching me about the game at dinner tonight with pepper packets and plastic knives. It was very entertaining.
