P-Weekend and Bush Week

In Semester 1, we have Orientation Week (O-Week) to welcome the new students in Bruce and ANU. What happened in O-Week 2009 is a story for another time. In Semester 2, there is P-Weekend and Bush Week (first week in Semester 2) which is packed with activities as well to welcome any new students that come in during this time of the year.

Here's what happened during the past week or so during P-Weekend and Bush Week. First event occured last last Friday which was Scribble Bar Night. Idea is you bring a white shirt to the Buttery (our very own Bruce Bar) and scribble on everyone else.

Scribble, scribble, scribble.... Roo and Kathryn


More scribble. Kristina and Siang.


No space on your shirt ? No problem, there is always your body.


Hitting a club after a bar night as per Bruce tradition.

After that night, it was breakfast trivia in the morning, champagne included. So... drinking was resumed the next morning. Nothing too interesting that morning except for one table getting drunk a tad bit too fast. Later that night we had a Fire Pit Night. Was a pretty chilled night. Some casual drinks and sitting around a big fire in the cold Canberra winter just chilling out.

Fuer frei !


Dean, Aiko and I.

A chilled night out by the fire.

And then last Sunday was Back To School Bar Night. It is a night where you dress in your old school uniform or someone else's or make up your own uniform. My school uniform is way cooler than all of of yours. Anyway...

Christian and I.


Tony Rusden.


Crutches didn't stop him from partying. What's your excuse ?


Christine and I. It's all about the ties.


Aiko is not in her Japanese school uniform. That skirt is way too long to be Japanese.


A great deal of thanks goes out to Miss Eleanor Cannon whose tie I stole for the night.

And finally, last Wednesday we had Christmas In July which Kathryn was able to witness first hand. This time people dressed up Christmas-themed for dinner and a bar night after. Dinner was slightly special with prawns and oysters. FREAKING OYSTERS for Hall food man !

AJ.... the rather disturbing lunberjack. He is Bruce's jock afterall.


Dave, Oli and I. 2 partying doctors.


My stripes were gone. =(

P-Weekend and Bush Week was massive fun for most of us. We met and welcomed more new people into our community. Although the stress in Semester 2 will kick in, we will have more events to have our fun and enjoy it with our friends, both new and old.
