Tick off the bucketlist - All nighter numero uno

Dong, Martyn and I volunteered as tribute to line up for law ball tickets. Here are some snippets:

Post-lifegroup we head to Syndal bowling. Drink a couple of swigs of tequila in Delinda's car. Play some darts.

1.00am (19 hours sans dormir)
Hungry Jacks run.
Get to uni, we head to IT labs. Martyn whines over leaving hot sauce in the car. Typical.

Get to IT labs. Ben's ID card doesn't work for computer rooms. There's plaster everywhere and wires sticking out of the ceiling. So apparently IT labs are under renovation. Fabulous.

ATM stop to cash out money. $1.5k I believe was the sum.

Hunt for replacement 24/7 IT labs.

2.00am
Successful access to warm, well-lit computer room! So much joy. Martyn drools over money.

We attempt to do work.

2.30am
Woman walks in and asks for ID. Martyn + Dong 'Uh, we don't go here'. I feign ignorance and claim to be a Monash IT student. We apologise and pack up.

Kicked out of shelter into the cold night to find people around a spit roast fire. Chat to semi-drunk Science committee members who attempt to sell us tickets to Science Ball.

3.00am
Already approx 20 people camping out in front of law basement. Mattresses, sleeping bags, blankets, mats, junk food, footy, cards against humanity.

We make new friends. Kate and Kate and Laura and Grant and Adi.

New gang walks to Maccas.

4.00am 
Dong shouts Chicken n Cheese burgers.
Martyn gets mad bc chicken pattie was stale. He marches up to the counter and demands a new one. Satisfied smirk face when he succeeds. Employee probs spat in burger.

Tiredness hits hard.

5.00am
We cook pancakes on Jordan's sandwich press.

I pull out my laptop in a guilty attempt to study. Kate catches me, I get told off and persuaded to drink gulps of wine to redeem myself. 

Shake it off plays. Mini dance sesh.

6.00am (24 hours sans dormir)
FINALLY LAW LIBRARY OPENS.
Free coffee + pastries. Half-asleep rating of girls/boys. Terrible. I blame Martyn.

We panic bc Jay couldn't make it and we needed her cash. Dong, the legend, sprints to cash out. He makes it just in time after our number is called.

Ticket success.

9.00am 
Uni. Lecture. Class. Zombiefied Erica.

7.00pm (37 hours sans dormir)
Sleep.

A solid deposit to the memory bank,
Me.
