So tomorrow is Autonomy Day, where the venerable University of Newcastle celebrates it's independence from the University of New South Wales. According to Wikipedia, it gained independence on January 1, 1965, and the day was usually celebrated on July 1, so what we're doing tomorrow, I have no idea. Other than drinking. Starting at 3 am. Seriously, it's the standard time throughout campus, and when quizzed why, the majority of Australians respond, "Because we can." Fitting for a college holiday.
So I'll wake up at 3, go next door for a communal 'breakfast and punch' for a few hours, and basically hang out and drink until one of the campus bars opens at 7 am with live music, DJs, and games like soccer with inner-tubes around your waist.
And be ready for my studio photography class at 4.
I'm stoked. Keep you posted.
