End-of-year events

Yesterday, I scored two points in shiai (both kote on Jenny, during the intersquad tournament). That's the first time I've ever won a match...actually the first time I ever scored in shiai. ::feels pleased:: Of course, that's partly because I was up against Jenny, who is probably better than me at this moment but not by a significant amount. (Also, I don't think either of us were feeling all that motivated at that moment.) I went up against Mary Grace next, who completely disconcerted me with her kiai. It's...I can't describe it; it's got to be experienced firsthand, but needless to say, I was rather intimidated.
This morning was senior sendoff, and at dinner last night, they told us that our job was to keep the seniors running in kakari-geiko so we'd tire them out sooner for the upperclassmen and alumni (who do the real beating-up). So we ended up running backwards in circles, while the seniors chased after us. Apparently, we've set a new precedent because once it was all over, the juniors told us that we were brilliant and the seniors had murderous looks on their faces. Kofi says that he's definitely going to come for our senior sendoff to pay us back. Heh...but all we did was follow orders...>_>
Now all that's left is the party tonight, and uh, apparently we have to put on a skit making fun of all the kendo club members. >_< I thought I put skits behind me in high school but no...yesterday, the Korean classes all put on skits as well (there was crossdressing in every single one, by the way) and we kind of forgot our lines and didn't make anyone laugh at the right moments, but oh well, we tried our best. (Actually, what I found most amusing were the bad accents. And wow, there are quite a few Korean-American students with atrocious accents. I used to have one myself, apparently, but I lost it after coming to New York and being inundated with Korean television.)
Must shower, clean up room, go to blockmate's concert performance, write skit, do chemistry problem set, buy foodstuffs for the party...It's going to be a long day. >_< And all I want to do is collapse and sleep. (I'm still sick, by the way. Stupid immune system. ::mentally kicks lymphocytes::)
That drabble will be done, though, oniichan. Someday.
