OK, so this past week was spring week here...our first on campus. Our pairing won the first two events last tuesday...the same day we were voted into IFC and found out we have the higest GPA on campus (2.97). So everything was goin great. Then saturday we won the bed race, but got a 10 second time penalty for one of the girls shoes falling off (they ripped in the middle of the race) so we got fourth. Micro bike race was just stupid, and nobody really did well with it...not exactly sure how we did. Anyway...the last event was the tandem race. Well...we were in third place when one of the other fraternities hit our bike and caused a wreck (won't say who). We think it might have been intentional b/c of the way the rider was acting before the race. Anyway, we ended up getting 6th with this fraternity at 4. Not only did they lie and tell us we had been lapped by them, but they stopped the race because one of the other fraternities bikes lost their chain (they ended up in 2nd, but would have been lapped at least twice had the race not been stopped). SO sweepstakes was tonight...we had high hopes because of how well we'd been doing and our participation. We get their and find out we got 2nd (by 15 points) which would have been first had a couple of the other pairings not cheated. AND in one of the other events we did not get credit for one of the guys showing up and participating (that was worth 20 points....first place by 5).
WHEW...i feel better.
