VEISHEA rocks~
This is the VEISHEA week~~ this is a tradition in Iowa State University (ISU) to celebrate spring if i am not wrong. But sad to say it was snowing over the weekends.. btw, VEISHEA stands Veterinary medicine, Engineering. Industrial Science, Home Economics and Agriculture~ each letter represents the various faculty here. There are carnivals, like clubs selling hotdogs and stuff at booths, rides (like those in funfairs) and some exciting shows all in campus~ There are also lots of different tradition in Veishea that everyone would do like eating cherry pies, having pancakes at midnight, the interesting one is mass campaniling (though i kind of missed it even when i am right there~) You see the people who graduated from ISU will come back to ISU to celebrate in campus~ The best part is that you get to see lots of people drunk at like 10 pm and the party still goes on all the way~ So basically this campus town suddenly become VERY bustling for the week~ the most stupid thing of the veishea comm is that they moved this event 2 weeks earlier this yr where its not quite spring yet~ and the exchange students are freezing their asses off to get to see everything about veishea as we are not getting any more of this in the coming year~ hey wait~ did some one notice that i said veishea was pushed forward 2 weeks earlier this year? YES~ you didnt get it wrong~ VEISHEA used to be 2 weeks before the final exams, which is the week before study week where everyone plays all they want before studying for the finals~~ HAHAH... will NUS ever have this kind of tradition? So what if NUS is one fo the top universities~! haha.. i will try to post some pics once i uploaded them ~~
