Nyahahaha!!! I'm really, REALLY happy today!!! Wheee!!!! I'm starting to feel like a pendulum; good mood one day, bad mood the next. Oh well. *shrug*
Anyhow, the reason I'm so happy is that our batch is once again the champion in our college's sportsfest!! Yay!! We were also the champions last year, you see. ^_^ (Get ready for a boring account of the sportsfest)
But it didn't come too easily this year. Though we were the champion in the cheering competition, the other batches wiped the floor with us during the parlor games, namely the tug-of-war and the "rumble". (The rumble involves about 9 or 10 representatives from each batch. Each player ties a small balloon on one of their legs and grabs a stick of rolled up newspaper. They then try to pop the other teams' balloons by hitting it with the rolled up newspaper.)
Then, we lost to the MBA "students" in the Men's Basketball. I use the term students here loosely as these guys are working already. Besides, it's hardly fair since these guys used to be varsity players in our university. Aside from that, all of them are big. And I mean really big. the smallest guy on their team was the same size as the average guys on our team. Granted, most of the guys on our batch are relatively short compared with the other batches. Still, our guys are good basketball players. Go Seniors!!
We almost became the champions in mixed volleyball. We beat the Juniors without a problem and had a close match against the Terminals (they're the fifth year students in our college as one of the courses can only be completed in 5 years and not 4). Unfortunately, we hadn't counted on a Sophomore guy with a mean spiking ability.
The Sophomores beat us by a wide margin, but it's still satisfying to say that we didn't go down without a fight. One of our better players always manages to intercept the other team's spikes. Too bad the interceptions weren't too succesful, but there you go. ^^;
Anyway, because of what happened, we were a bit scared that we won't be the overall champions but it all worked out in the end. We remained the best batch in our college. Yay!!!
So now, as I write this, my left index finger is wrapped in a band-aid and I can't really use my hands very comfortably, thanks to the blasted rope we used in the tug-of-war. Plus, my legs are killing me!!! I was jumping around so much today that my legs are totally sore. I probably won't be able to walk comfortably tomorrow. *makes face*
But still, I'm happy and we had loads of fun today. ^_____^ Too bad this only happens once a year. On the other hand, I don't think we could survive it if this happens every month. Lol!!
Gyahahha!!! I'm so happy!!! I'll most probably be complaining all day tomorrow but it's all worth it. I hope we win again next year. Go Starbatch!!! |
