“At least we're learning something"

Bartending, playing the guitar, skateboarding, and playing volleyball: participants were spoilt for choice at the workshop afternoon. On Thursday afternoon, all Intro kids were released from the confines of their groups, and mommies and daddies could opt for a moment of relaxation if so desired.

Lucid 15, the group that was allowed to throw a home-made cake in the face of Lucid chairman-to-be Oscar just that morning, decides to stay together. They’ll all be playing rugby. Remco Levenbach (Industrial Design) has just played badminton with a future student of Software Science. What does he think about the Intro? “The weather the first two days wasn’t great. But I’m not too tired yet, so that’s a plus”, he tells us in the bar of the Student Sports Center (SSC). Outside, on the bicycle lane, snowboard club Avalanche is giving away skateboard workshops and has members perform tricks on a giant trampoline. The ladies of student music association La Tuniña take it easy. Workshop participants (men, mostly, apart from one amazing girl named Femke) are on the lawn in front of the Zwarte Doos. They’re playing the guitar leisurely. Well, they try. The men of Tuna Ciudad de Luz have organized a serenading workshop in the city center. Student society SSRE, for which this will probably be the very last Intro celebrated in the Bunker, offers three workshops. Intro kids can choose bartending, DJ’ing, or take a course into how to be a student. The latter includes SSRE slang (waakvarken, or guard pig), how many beers a student society members downs on a weekly basis, and what percentage of society members joined in their first year. “At least we're learning something”, a participant offers tentatively.
