Relays: The Sole Of Drake

The 99th Relays Celebration kicked off this week at the Blitz Day Picnic.  This year's theme is "Relays: The Sole of Drake."  Haha, get it?  "Sole"?  Yeah... it's a bad pun, I know.  I'm not super crazy over the theme, but I am excited for Relays and all the Relay-related fun. 
The Relays Carnival is coming up this week, there was a sand volleyball tournament earlier today, Street Painting is next weekend, and then, of course there are the Relays themselves.  
Some of us, being RAs and all, don't get to participate as much as we'd like to because of duty and whatnot, but there are still opportunities to do something.  It's no biggie.  I get to work concessions with APO and I'm actually really looking forward to that.  I like concessions - except for washing super greasy parts of the nacho cheese and popcorn machines.  
Relays isn't all fun and games, though.  Despite having pretty cool activities planned everyday, there's still school to worry about.  And now isn't a good time to slack off.  Around here it seems that finals comes immediately after Relays, so you don't want to stress about catching up with work and studying.  It's just important to stay on top of it. . 
Here are some pictures from the Blitz Day Picnic/Theme Release Party.  Stay tuned for more Relays info and pictures.
