So it begins!

"Small circles freshers!"

After getting to sleep at 2am the last thing that I expected was to be waking up to Lamb of God penetrating the dark! The Sir's were patrolling the hall slamming on doors, "Wake up freshers!!" Little did I know comfort and time are not what we had, I was late coming into the quad for our second confrontation. The PT had commenced. Not much needs to be said, I found it hard, probably because I do all my work in a pool... They gave us a good challenge. I felt sorry for those who weren't so fit. We had 10 minutes to get to our rooms have a shower and back on the hill! We had to learn to be quick and efficient, this wasn't going to be the only time.

"We hate gaps!"

After breakfast we learned two dances! Out in the middle of the quad with the harsh sun beating down on us we tried and failed time after time until we had Sunshine Mountain and Father Abraham perfected. By the end of this session the majority of us we sweaty, sunburns and stained by grass, another shower run was in motion. This would prove pointless as we were off to paintball, for hours! Our burnt battered bodies could take it, we were on the road to becoming Kingsmen!

Waterside!

King's obstacle course, picture are worth one thousand words..

"Hurry up freshers! Force through the mud!"

"Don't forget your kegs!"

"We want to go a paddle! Take us to the water"
"Oh, we forgot our life jackets. Bring us back up!"

"You're half way there! Keep running freshers!"

 









After a scant serving of food at paintball we returned to King's for a sufficient dinner before moving out to destination unknown. "You will have fun tonight." Is all they left us with. We went all the way out to Chermside Westfield to go ten pin bowling, finally something that we could relax into! This was short lived, after two games we were shuttled back to King's to another late night of hazing. We learned "Can't keep my eyes off of you" and the King's College war cry, once again hours passed and we were ready. We performed our practice in out the back of Women's College, we had not met another college and I did not know what to make of it. We were having fun.


The first full day was over. We had no idea what we were going ourselves into, It is going to be a long week. But, we wanted more!
