(*cough* soccer *cough*)
Oh man, English teachers rock. I'd never been prouder of our bedraggled crew. I helped organise a 5-a-side football tournament between the different subject groups on our teacher training course, and English won! We got to the final fair and square, but were totally outmatched in the final, losing 4-2 with about four minutes left. We proceeded to injure our opponents one by one, kicking the ball into players' delicate areas twice in a row and breaking another guys arm (slight exaggeration - the guy was playing in a cast, the fool, and aggravated it under a fairly light challenge), pulled it back to 4-4 and won it on penalties.
Fantastic!
Of course, the guys on the team reverted to idiots. I decided not to go to the post-match celebration 'cause I wanted to get to the gym. Big mistake. The boys didn't invite the girls who'd played on the team to the after-match celebrations. Girls got very upset. I didn't get to go to the gym anyway, because I had to try and sort out the drama by phone. I should have just stayed and babysat them. *rolls eyes*
And to think these lot are responsible for educating the next generation!
