It was the only time that they allowed the exercise.
Not sure why. Was a good whey to blow off steam.

I loved it. It was a great exercise. It was just a shame I ended up underneath two very large men.

Yep, it was a big occasion. We discussed it prior; I wasn't gonna throw my hat in the air but was persuaded to by the staff, who said you look like a tosser if you don't - I was just concerned with my hat being switched with some other fella's...or fellesses.
So we march out, I throw my hat in the air with a big "yippee!!" - staff didn't say anything about doing stuff like that but I thought it would add to the occasion. Anyway, my hats in the air, along with 78 others, I turn around...and there's one of the boys, sobbing his eyes out!!
He kinda stumbles towards me - I by now had a stunned mullet look on my face - and I quickly retrieved my cap (I'd watched it like a hawk as it fell) and I had no choice but to give him a big man hug, all the while thinking "there, there, you'll be ok...ya big girl".

I didn't have a problem with my hat. I had the smallest head in the wing
There were tears from a few that day. It's a big relief to finally make it to the end (or the start depending on how you look at it).
I think there were more tears after Sum 3 though. When we found out our whole section had passed. Great feeling knowing your whole section will be with you on graduation day.

that looks awesome - you should be very proud!
the haka looks like a lot to learn - on top of 5months of college! (bit more worried being an englishman, having never performed a haka!)

performing a haka gives you a real good feeling and amps you up quite a bit. I did a few back at high school. doest matter what race you are (im sri lankan) as long as you give a 100% you'll be great

Like Nippy says. Give it 100% and you can't go wrong. You pretty much learn the Haka in the final week. A lot to cram in but if everyone is on board it'll look good on the day.
