Thursday Nights in University Park

We here in the University Park apartments at APU are easily amused, to say the least. And on Thursday nights we anxiously await the arrival of 9:15pm. Why, you might ask?

The APU Pool Club.

It is seriously one of the funniest things we have ever seen. At 9:15pm, anywhere from 20-30 guys run into our court, in shorts (some of which are WAY too short!)...they yell "pool club" as they run in, and jump in the pool.

They then proceed to get right out of the pool, and run somewhere else. Rumor has it that they run to an apartment (or dorm), soaking wet, and they get the apartment a little wet. We aren't really sure of what they do while they are gone for about 20 minutes.

Then, they run back in and jump in the pool and begin their "rituals"...LOL...it's seriously so funny because they get SO into it. They do various things before getting in a circle and yelling "We pee standing up!" Then they disperse until the next Thursday...

The railings are lined with people who come out to watch them...and it is the highlight of our Thursdays.

I will try to get some pictures next week. Tonight someone was taking pictures, and the guys freaked out--I wonder if they want this to be a "secret society" or something, LOL!!!

Anyway, the APU Pool Club provides my roommates and I with much joy. Can't wait 'til next week!
