Today at my internship we didn't do too much work because of the schools 42nd Annual Rat Race. Yes a Rat Race! It was literally one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. Different clubs and teams (including the men's soccer and track & field teams) trained their rats for about 2 weeks and then raced them on a small track in a ballroom on campus. This year's theme was "The Wizard of Oz" and the students and faculty seemed to be really into it as they gave the rats names, like Courage Brave Heart, to fit into the theme; others dressed like characters out of the movie.
Before the rats even raced the school had a parade for them; a parade for rats. The students, faculty, and friends all paraded the rats around the neighborhood; it was really weird to me but everyone seemed to really enjoy it and it is the schools big spring event.
