Contacts… eww

Project “project”

End of waterpolo season

Our last match ended about one week ago with a 10-3 win against 3rd Division, resulting in an eventual placing of 7 out of 11 in the whole national level, one place ahead of last year's placing.

Shopping spree

Dropped by to John's house with him paying the cab fare from camp *duh* so I can get a look and troubleshoot his new, yet problematic computer.

Losing streak

Lost waterpolo match Well, when there are lots of up recently, there will too come the downs.
