Open Day at all the universities in the ACT today, which meant I was once again roped into volunteered to dress up in costumes from Kabuki and wander the campus, talking to prospective new students about the Asian Studies Faculty, the Japan Centre, and Year in Japan.
I wonder if they realised that asking Tom and myself to espouse the benefits of the above was a little on the ironic side... Tom managed to get out of this committment, and I behaved myself like a good little wombat and focussed on the positives...
There was plenty of free food going around though, barbeques at most faculties, and once I was finished I headed over to the Halls and Colleges to get some more lunch, which ended up being chocolate/raspberry cake and coffee at Ursula. Most people just assumed I was a prospective new student, which was rather amusing, and the four people at college whom I still know were a little amused themselves too. Oh well.
