Backtracking a bit to when I arrived back to the hallowed halls of college on the 11th of February, in time for Prep Week. For the benefit of non-collegians Prep week is the week of prep before the 84 freshers (1st years) arrive for O week. Normally it's an intensively stressful week but for us it was a breeze as so much correspondence had been done in the holidays (still trying to clear out my inboxes now, actually!)
The O week team consists of 6 second years, all are scrumptious legends and I have had a ball working with them all. Especially the bonding over 39 daily emails over summer, bleaching in the courtyard, bus trips to the Supre factory outlet, early mornings (2am) and early mornings (5:30am) spent doing ... stuff (wait and see!). You're such champions who are servant-hearted and willing to pick up the pieces. Massif respects to Alex (aka Birdie), Jaydog (aka Jaydog), Timburgers (aka Tim), Mal-Practice and Kyle (Thommohawk).

Below: Never trust 3 guys with a bucket of bleach and 8 inches of your hair.
It's tradition for the O week leaders to dye their hair the same colour of the fresher shirts. Beautiful green, synonomous with slime and all things Kermit. Watch the transformation of these conservative brunettes into Pumped-up and psycho cabbage heads and bean sprouts. Whose idea was it for green fresher shirts anyway?
Poor Mal's hair didn't take kindly the bleach, but after the 3rd treatment it looked a delightful shade of ... marigold?
More on O week to come!
