Oh Lawd Was Today Long:
So after the lack of sleep that was last night, today began fairly early. And by fairly early I mean approximately 7am or so. After the shenanigans of 10 people or so trying to use 1 bathroom we made our way to McDonald's for breakfast. I won a small fry off of my hash brown.
The tourney was huge. It seemed like there were even more people than last time even though we had the full gym as opposed to just half the gym. The bouts were pretty intense, and it was a lot of fun running around snapping pictures and seeing who the competition was. We made some interesting observations. And by 'we' I clearly mean, Tori, Ray, Brittany, and myself.
We found a guy who kinda looked like Patrick Stewart, a truckload of gingers, a calvin klein model, a polo model, a barack obama vampire, among others. Hilarity ensued. But admittedly the best event of the day was watching Brian fence Hannahan.
Why? Because it's always fun to watch the underdog win. And even more so when you know said underdog and can see him getting more excited the longer the match goes on. It was entirely enthralling and you could tell how excited everyone was getting. Good match Brian, you've officially earned your bigheadedness, for now at least.
We were watching bouts from approximately 9.30 until 7.00 or so. I can't say that I ever got bored with the fencing. Congratulations stabbing sport, you've managed to hold my attention longer than just about anything else.
Overall, the trip was extremely fun and I'm glad I went. Sure, I missed a lot of sleep, and sure, I could have been doing something else. But it was a blast, and honestly, much better than last semester's trip.
