Wake up at 10, go out to eat, then do it again

So in the past weeks we have spent our time meeting new people and checking out all the new places.  The week before classes is called "o week" and is meant to get you accustomed to everything, but pretty much all that there was to do in terms of academic orientation things was sign up for classes and get our student ids.  More than anything the first few weeks of school are all about social events to get to know everyone.  The list of school-sponsored social events coming up that is posted in my dorm and in the orientation handbook reads:

-7/26: Sunday sesh! Meet for free taxis to the tavern at 3:30 

-7/28: Toga party at Uni Club

-7/30: Club opening night at Uni Club

-7/31: Recession themed pub crawl.  Free shuttle around to all the pubs and discounts on drinks.

-8/1: Kegs on the lawn.  If you participate to represent your dorm in the cross country race that day you get a discount on your cup.

-8/7: Full moon party.  Party out on the beach on Maggie Island all night until the sun comes up.

It is so different here because all of the school events are for drinking while at Maine all of the school events are put together so people will do stuff besides drink.  Apparently the whole campus goes to these things here and it gets pretty crazy so it should be pretty fun.
