i’m back! my performance was less than acceptable. bagels suck. ’twill not happen again. i’m not the type to do exceptionally in an individual competition anyway. if teammates are around i am more focused. overall the team did rather well, my captain won for men’s epe and Alicja won for women’s foil. most of the other really good fencers placed as well. the bus ride back was horrendously uncomfortable but i did manage to watch my way through the rest of Super Troopers (hilarious) and Zoolander (cameo by Bowie is really all it had going for it). we got back at 4:30. i’ve just finished skipping my first class. now i should probably go to my next one…
