The Wonders of Pond Scum

I finished those assignments I was talking about, and now I'm just waiting for the bus to take me back to the Carlton.

Tonight is the night of the Deakin College Ball, of which everyone is currently at. Well, not everyone, but most people. Those that don't have proper ball attire, such as myself, were not able to go. Everyone was completely decked out in suits and ties and formal dresses when they left. They are heading to Torquay for the night and are coming back into Geelong for an after party at Home House, a club just down the street from the Carlton. Those of us who were unfortunate enough to not have any formal clothing are heading out to Home House around midnight to meet up with everyone else. Everyone finds their own way home, which is quite easy for myself, and wakes up with a massive hangover. Not to worry though, tomorrow is what is known as "Recovery Day", which includes happies at the Ponds (the closest bar to campus, just a 10 minute walk from res) starting at 10:00am-2:00pm. This is just another instance of watching Aussies drink early. They were serving rum in the coffee during ANZAC day at around 7:00am.

I'm not really sure what the actual name of "the Ponds" is, I know it by several different names, including "Dodgies", "Dodgie Disco", "Dirty Disco", and many other variations. It is said that you can tell if a girl has been to Dodgies just by looking at her ankles. Because girls legs are usually not as protected as guys, they are susceptible to "Pond Scum", the strange black substance that crawls all over everything in the Ponds.
