Weekend Away




Just went back from my study's start weekend, which is basically we (approx 40 people from my year and the committee) went to this lodge in the northest part of Holland for the weekend. I have to admit it was so much fun. The first day we had dinner, speedating and Vegas themed party. Saturday we went for this survivor/adventure game for the whole afternoon, it was downright exhausting. Walking in the forest, doing physically demanding obstacles, mountain biking and canoeing (spelling?). When we did finally went back to the lodge, we hung out on the field behind the house and enjoy the rare sun. It was heavenly.

Later that night we had mini-workshops for 20minutes each. We did capoeira, acting, salsa dancing, cocktail mixing and cake decorating (which I WON MUAHAHA). It was so much fun :) although its so short that we didnt really master in anything :p. Then we changed into our orange clothing for the Dirty Dutch party, with Dutch finger food and everything. It was so fun, we had so much fun dancing and making faces at each other at first. That is, until the DJ decided to stick with Electro music. Me and my friend decided to sit down and watch then. It was even better. A guy was walking with his shirt torn. Girls were WASTED. Guys were even more wasted. Most had lazy-drunk eyes. A guy was rubbing my friends' hairs, both male and female friends (hint: BI!!!).

At the end, we found ourselves laughing like idiots while eating our prize winning decorated cake (which actually isnt such a good idea considering that I didnt even wash my hands while decorating it).

Really late that evening (morning?), we went into the bunk to get changed. It was dark. I was climbing my bed when I smelt puke. My friend flashed her handphone to provide some light, and we saw a girl lying on her face. We tried to call for her, and she didnt respond. We resorted to poking her and shouting her name, and still no response. Shit we were beginning to get scared so we called the committee, and they tried to wake her up too by shouting and rocking her shoulders. Still no response. A committee even said that theres blood. Jesus. We just sat there scared to do anything. Finally we found some students from the neighbour lodge who happens to be medical students from another univ, and got them to check her up. They checked her heart beat, pupil and stuff. At the end she woke up, but they insisted to bring her to the hospital to make sure.

OK that was really interesting. Lots of new things happened this weekend. Which I guess is the point of living another day :)

Another crucial thing to remember: never ever ever ever resort yourself to live in the same bunk with guys. Jesus our bathroom smelt like puke and beer. I'm just now so glad to be back to civilization, with clean bathrooms and soft warm bed :)
