I’ve decided to attend this year’s Ettans Fest. It’s the white-tie affair when this year’s freshmen achieve the status of “ettan” or first-years, having endured the ignominy of being “nØllan”[1] since September.
(Yeah, KTH is weird from the outside.)
It’s also 75 years since technical physics started, 30 years since the section newspaper “The Force”[2] started, and 15 years since my class became “ettan”.
I’ve found nearly all the neccessary items of clothing dispersed in the move (except for the actual white tie). Strangely I will need to let out my trousers, apparently the last time I used them was in 1996…
