Alumni + Callum's birthday

Once again, it's time to talk about waterpolo. YAY! But not only, since this was more of a social event rather than a competition.
Well, two social events, actually. I don't know if you have ever had it happened to you, but sometimes you have nothing to do, no plans in some weekends, but then others are just tons of things to do and fun things to attend. Argh, tipical. (Yeah, I guess this applies for everyone).

The term Alumni refers to former students of an institution, and in this case also ex-members of the waterpolo team. So it was planned to play a game between current members and Alumni. Needless to say that, as Paddie said, we had won by default... but those adult, old, boring people (...they were probably younger than me, but no need to tell anyone) needed some boost of confidence, so we let them score a lot. And of course we (ME, as usual) missed a lot of shots to the goal. But it was all intentionally, I promise. I always do it on purpose. (I'm frustrated enough regarding that matter, so let's move on).
So yeah, Alumni "won" the game, but only because they had some of the current students in their team. Don't get too cocky about it!
Birthday boy and pretty ladies. I really need some sun-tanning...

After that, we were all willing to take the fun beyond just a waterpolo game, so we went all out to party. Not me, of course, because as I said, too many events in a day. I got ready and left for my classmate Callum's birthday! I actually really wanted to go, we were meeting in a bar called "The Kilted Kangaroo". HOW COOL IS THAT. C'mon, it's meant to be MY party place. KILTED KANGAROO. SCOTLAND AND AUSTRALIA IN ONE. And yeah, it was awesome.
You know what makes a bar awesome?
Having hair straighteners in the ladies toilet. Yes, it might sound dull, BUT IN HOW MANY BARS HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE? Not just any straighteners, but GHD straighteners. That just says a lot. Ok, you have to pay £1 for 2 minutes, but still, they give you the option. I'm sorry I do not have any pictures, but when I went to the toilet and saw them, Lara was too busy laughing at me for getting paper stuck on my shoe and she distracted me. Blame it on her! But I will take pictures next time.
By the way, in case Helen reads this... SHAME ON YOU for failing our date.


Ain't them cute!

So I had a couple of drinks there, chatted with some people, took pictures (of course) and headed out to Fubar! We were supposed to dress up as a character of Wizard of Oz, which I obviously didn't do, but my girls were very efficient on make up their customes. Look at them!
So there they were, all having too much fun, and so I joined! And I must say that I also had a lot of fun. Then I "lost" my jacket, so I was a bit sad... after a while, having fun anyway, I felt tired (didn't want to exhaust myself since I had an assingment to work on... see? tons of things this weekend!) and decided to go home, following my "I'll-go-home-if-I-don't-like-the-next-song" rule. I checked first if they staff in the bar had found my jacket and...YES, THEY HAD! So I came back to tell the girls, they knew I was dismayed. But definetely, I was leaving after that. But, OH, on my way out they were playing a song I really like... so I couldn't go! (Specially attending to my rule) So I just came back and danced a little longer. And then, they wouldn't play songs that I didn't like! So nope, I was not going home just yet. Until the girls decided to leave, so I followed.
*Forgot to say that I found a lovely hair-bow on a counter in the ladies toilet, that I have acquire for myself as a new hair accessory! :D *
Though tired as I was, I felt so happy for having so much fun on a Saturday night but still being able to get up the following day for some school work. I guess that at this age, satisfaction lays in this stupid little things :p

But joy and happines couldn't end there. The last race of MotoGP was taking place in Cheste (Valencia). I have attended that race several times (and some others in Spain...) and my idol, my god, my favourite VALENTINO ROSSI had the chances to reach the 2nd place on the general final clasification. And you might say "2nd? Why is it that good?" Oh, well, I know why, and his fans know too, and that's enough! And so he ended up being 2nd in the race and in the final classification! And the worst rider, the most egocentric, self-centered and prentious (Jorge Lorenzo) had to quit due to his bad planning. (It started raining... and he screwed up by changing the motorbike, since it didn't rain that much). So I was  happy, because Rossi was in direct battle with him for the 2nd possition in the final classification :D


And so that was my weekend.
You probably find it random that I write today about this irrelevant stuff, but  I do it because of Megan! :D She told me that she reads my blog, and asked me to write about Alumni, so I just cojoined everything and updated.
So Megan, there you go! This is for you! (You probably don't remember... but here it is :p)
