Getting there is half the fun

Skulk Night

The annual Engineering Week here at UBC officially started this past Sunday with Skulk Night. Ceremonies get underway at 11pm Sunday, in which the rules are read and then club boat races take place. A 'boat race' is basically 4 guys from each program lined up along a table and the teams compete to see who can drink 4 large beers the fastest! Needless to say, Fizz lost horribly, and I wasn't really any help either. The winning teams were clocked in at around 17 seconds for all 4 beers!! After the reading of the decree and breaking of a beer bottle E Week is officially on and the "lists" are handed out to departments at midnight. Each team has until 7am to get as many of the items completed to earn as many points as possible. The items on the "list" range from easy to the absurd to the very illegal and impossible. The most important thing to remember is to protect the list at all costs, and this involves eating before letting the police get a copy! Heavy consequences befall whoever divulges the list!



Some of the items on the list cannot be mentioned, such as various pranks and stolen items, but the vast majority are harmless tasks that usually involve self imbarassment or nudity! Some pictures of the more tame ones are below.

I ended up staying up all night, from about 9am Sunday to 6pm-ish Monday night when I completely fell asleep despite my radio. After the red-eye breakfast Monday at 8am the rest of the day wasn't too much fun. I only made it to 1 out of 4 classes and had to start and finish a nuclear physics assignment due that afternoon! Also, waking up at 2am Tuesday and watching a movie wasn't much fun either.
