Sunday and Monday were hell because I had a paper due Monday at 9am and Monday at 5pm, as well as a presentation on Tuesday, so it was really rewarding Tuesday night when I got to kick back.
The water polo team had a banquet to officially end the season and say goodbye to the graduating players. They call this a breakup. I heard a lot of funny stories from Uni Games, which happened on the Gold Coast over lecture recess. (The boys got 8th place and the girls, including myself, couldn’t go because some players dropped out at the last minute.)
Cards and gifts were given to departing players and then funny awards were given out. There was a Virgin Award for a freshman player who had played every minute of every game at Uni Games and never scored a goal; the Liver Cerrosis Award was given to the guy who consistently parties the most; the Dude, Where’s My Brain Award was given to the one who had the single most epic night at Uni Games. The favorite freshman (except they say “fresher” here) had been hazed more this year than anyone ever and had put up with it like a champ so he was given the Brass Balls Award.
Finally, there was the George. W. Bush Award. There were three Americans present so we all looked around and wondered, “Hmm, which of us is going to get this one?” As it turns out, I was the distinguished recipient for being the “Yank” with a tendency to “say silly things without thinking about them first.” Ugh, what an insult… Actually, I find it quite funny but I did make sure everyone knew I didn’t vote for him. And below is a picture of the five of us honored award recipients. We had to wear the "medals" around our neck for the rest of the night or risk further "punishment."
