a grand weekend, great craic all around really, although i now am taking some much needed recovery time for my body to catch up with all of the fantastic goings-on. This weekend - for those of you who don't know - was trampolining intervarsities hosted by none ofther than the colaiste na hOillscoile Corcaigh (now i'm justing getting fancy, that was irish for UCC). Trickelning then flooding in thursday and friday trampoliners from all over ireland, from queens in belfast to UCD (hahahaha yeah, it always makes me laugh that i came to ireland to hang out with kids from UCD) in Dublin to get their bounce on. and bounce we did indeed. Way too much fun, I apparently did pretty damn well, taking 4th in my category (novice, i'm a newbie) and basically having an amazing time! now it's on to all sorts of flips, seat dropping wars and crazyness...plus seeing how much i can do with tumbling while not killing myself...too badly) i did kind of land on my head about three times trying to pull of a oundoff double back handspring on the airtramp, and it just gives you so much lift i was flipping for the first and then not having the momentum or wrist strength for the second. apparently i gave some people heart attacks, hehe. Oh and i got to teach one of my tiggerful friends Adam how to do a back handspring. i felt pretty damn cool. so all in all life is trampoliningtrampoliningtrampolining and a bit of hoemwork and sleep thrown in aorund the edges, which i'm sure will change as soon as mo mhamai comes to see me!!!! yayyyy mommy! anyhoo, a grand weekend of bouncing flying moves (my favorite is the chicken on a bycicle) and drunken debauchery...oooh and really really good junkfood! so now it's back to life, papers, new ways to fly, and ramndom movie nights with the pilosophical outpourings that i like best. this is why philosophy majors are wonderful, long discussions between toffee and donnie darko on globalization and economics..*sigh* happy. oh, and not only have i rescently been adopted, apparently i AM charlotte from sex and the city (score!) and joey fram dawson's creek some too....but mostly charlotte..but less WASPy, haha.
