Ruggerfest part 2

So today was day 2 of Ruggerfest (the all-women's rugby tournament this weekend) and it was just as fun as yesterday!! Well, actually slightly less fun, because we only played one game and we lost that, but it was a well-played game and I got to play wing in my favorite back triangle (me and Scrappy on wings, and Petrides at fullback). As I said we lost the game, but we still played quite well, and ended our season on a good note.

After the game was over, I decided to stay rather than come back to campus with most of the team - the Maryland Stingers had invited any of us who could to stay and maybe play with them. I didn't end up getting to play (they needed forwards more than backs, so Keen played while Scrappy and I watched), but it was still really great to warm up with the Stingers, wear a sub jersey, and watch the game. The Stingers are a women's club team that has a really good relationship with AU - that is, half their team is AU alum - so I'm getting to know and recognize some of their players.

Following the Stingers' game, the three of us who'd stayed hung out with Deanna and Maria (two of our coaches who were also there) and watched the final game of the highest bracket.

Then Maria gave the three of us a ride back to campus (after we stopped off at the KFC/Taco Bell combo for food with Primo), and I got back juuuuuuust in time to get to work in the oh-so-exciting library reserves.

And so here I am - hyped up on rugby, beer, and a little caffeine, not too sore yet (thanks to ibuprofin and the sun), avoiding studying for my Japanese oral final tomorrow! Hurrah!
