Somehow the jeans on most of this year's first years seem closer and tighter than the year before. For those with the figure for it, I was all for it. The SRC office was nothing but chaos. Smaller than the size of most public toilets the entire place was lined with showbags for the Welcome week distribution. In each of the bags a diary rested. Since I arrived a little after 10 the thought of putting disclaimers proclaiming the actual day for the women internationally was March 8 and not 5 was dashed. A few hours off out of the office and then back again the line of bags was inching.
Then came the production line and the bags just piled up into boxes quicker than before. A missed paper cut had the middle left bleeding profusely. Magnificent on effect. Each and every diary has the disclaimer, "if there's a mistake, damn" just in case I did get the dates wrong. With all 998 bags done a load of nougats were still hanging around. The box of Tim Tams was still unbroken, perhaps another time. For some reason it is illegal for Cadbury to sell these massive metal buckets that ship with 1000 chupa chups. Throwing wall planners around resulted in a huge slice of the NUS NSW President's skin, another papercut. When all was packed away keys supposedly lost were found in the same hand and 2 showbags somehow emerged from the back of the laser printer. Chomping on 5 nougat rolls made for a trepedatious walk to the train station.
