One of the biggest days at SCU is Race Day. Last Saturday we
were all awoken at 6 am to foghorns going off around campus to get up and get
drinking. No surprise, it’s pretty hard to sleep when your roommates invite the
whole block over to party before the sun comes out, so I got up as well. I
joined them for breakfast, but no surprise, didn’t party with them. That is the
last thing I would want to do at 6 am. I think it’s amusing that people are
dedicated enough to alcohol that they will wake up early, but can’t find the
motivation to wake up for their 1 pm class. After going to the square with
Tiana to find her some shoes and a dress, we got ready with Heather, Katie and
Lindsey and headed out to the bus stop. Fortunately, rides were included in the
$10 ticket for Race Day.
The bus ride there was only ten minutes, but with over
70 loud drunk Orionites, it felt more like an hour. We stepped off the bus, as
most people stumbled, and headed into the gates. I still haven’t gotten used to
getting ID’ed so intensely with security guards, because I forget that their 18
is our 21. After mingling for a while, the races began and lasted four hours.
They were a lot shorter than the Gold Coast Races because the event is put on
by SCU and mostly students attend. It was nice to see everyone out and having a
day to relax before exams week start. After a beautiful, sunny day of races and
catching up with people, we went back to Orion to continue the evening. My
roommate ended up getting in a fight and taken away by the cops, and it took a
while for people to get settled down. After that, the girls and I decided to
have a more subtle night and hung out with other Aussie friends. The next day I
had to get up early for my last trip with the Outdoor Adventure Club!
