O'week
This week is O'week at the uni - the week before classes start when there's heaps of free stuff and a lot of people get wasted.
At Students for Christ we usually do some stuff in O'week so that people know we're there, and can find out what we're about, et cetera.
On Monday we had a survey outside the hairdressers. We do it outside the hairdressers because all the first-years have to go past it on their tour. Last year most of their guides wouldn't let them stop to fill out our survey, but this year they were heaps more co-operative, and as far as I know only one tour guide wouldn't let her group do the survey.
Today was Clubs & Societies Day, so we had a table set up with photos from SFC functions, activities and missions, as well as info on our meeting and other happenings. This year we were given a less popular location, but I think that we got about as much interest, probably because we didn't have to compete with as many other groups for attention. Also, we got a lot more interest from international students this year. At least two people from Gillies St want to join.
Late this afternoon Hadyn and I made a database of the people who want more info on SFC (from the surveys) and made plans with Justin (the SFC campus-worker for Ballarat) to do a promo video for the state-wide O'camp, which'll be in week 4.
Tonight is the City Residence Society's night out, at Extremity. It's free, so I might go.
