Raisin photos continued

The foam fight!
Me and Susana, our brother did not come.




Lots of people watching and taking photos. It was very controlled though, notice the gate shut that is never shut.
It took place in the (St. Salvator quad or Salls quad or the quad).


Last years class gift was 200 cans of foam to people as they came in- under the arch of the clock tower.

The exit, there was only one way in and one way- another way- out.

First aid station on the way out. I think all they had was paper towels for eyes and whatnot.
Next to the first aid station and exit, nice but very cold water!



Me and my "mom." It was cool that right after you left all the 3rd and 4th years were lining the path for you to leave the area!!! Like I said I did not realize how much this was a rite of passage. The Kate Kennedy clue was handing out hot drinks and had a few actual towels to wipe our hands on.
The exit exit, to the street. Now I am in the library area, right next to the quad- separated by like a 10 foot walk-though cut out of a building.

The police were stopping traffic for us. You can see all the students waiting for the first years to come out of the foam fight.

The end of Raisin weekend. I got in the shower after this picture. I walked the 20-30 minuets back to DRA, I did not think a bus would let me in and I did not have enough money for a taxi, plus I think they charge you 40 pounds for messing up the taxi.

Raisin was awesome. However, I did not realized that it was one big hazing and then rite of passage. That is fine except, I am not actually a first year, I am not going to graduate from here, and I do not get to do it to someone else in a few years, which is what hazing is all about.
