2nd place isnt so bad

Well, most of this last weekend was dominated by the Fisher Shield basketball tournament. We had a team of 8, and thought our chances were pretty good for the tournament. On the first day, We lost our first game by 2 against our bitter rivals, George Roberts, but then won our next two games by significant amounts. I even had 4 steals in our second game. It was a really fun afternoon of games, since lots of people come down to the courts to cheer on their respective dorms and everyone is just there to have a good time. Saturday night was loads of fun, and all of us stayed up way too late. We had some fun looking at pictures that Jimmy and Marisa took for their photography class that involved "light painting". It involves shooting in the dark, and using different colored lights to add effects to your pictures. I got to do one where I shot lightening from my fingers!
I was a little sleep deprived for our games on Sunday, but a good lunch was enough of a pick-me-up, and we started out the day well, winning our last 2 round robin games. We relaxed for a bit, and watched some TV, went to supper, and then it was time for the semifinal match. We played against St. Marks college, and beat them handily, although, halfway through the 4th quarter, the court light turned off suddenly, and we had a 20 min. intermission until they could be turned back on. The championship game was once more against our rivals, George Roberts. We were up the entire game, until their point guard decided he didn't want to miss any shots, and scored about 12 points single-handedly. Needless to say, it was enough to overthrow our lead and take the win away from us. Although, we scored lots of points for the dorm by getting 2nd, and I even got some applause for my jump shot in the championship game (so there Carolyn; you thought we would be terrible :P) The games finished up at about 11:00, so i was pretty tired and just headed to bed.
The Week started out very busy for me, and I had a 3 slide presentation to give on my progress for a project on dietary needs, specific to elite swimmers. My partner and I found some interesting figures and charts, so I think we impressed the T.A. more then anyone else, by presenting good, raw data.
