Weekend Wrap Up

What a week! The weekend-long culmination of E-week began with True Engineer on Friday afternoon, which involved each club building a bridge out of a limited supply of stirsticks, straws and elastic bands. Of course Fizz won with our ingenuity and force in numbers, and not cheating helped too (MTRL guys). Our bridge held the most amount of water before catastrophic failure.

Then there was Red Knight Friday night at the Cheeze, which broke the normal Cheeze stereotype in that there were actually girls there! The place was completely packed, both inside and out, with a band playing outside. And as a bonus, if you wore a red beer was only 25 cents!! Which ends up working out to free when people buy you beer to borrow your jacket! Way too many beers and boat races later we wound up in a drunk fight in front of the SUB. Well it wasn't really a fight, more like a pushing match of 5 on 5 with a dozen security guards running out of the SUB to break it up. Surprisingly fun since no one was hurt, but I somehow got a few bruises and I don't normally bruise. Eventually we made it downtown to the Yale but balked at the eintritt and got some poutine instead and headed home. Somehow instead of heading home I met some random people at the village and ended up staying out until the wee hours.

Saturday night was EBall, the annual Engineers' Ball. It was absolutely loads of fun! It was great to see so many people out too, and the dinner was delicious. After dinner Fizz was awarded trophies for both the fabulous ball model the 3rd years made and also for winning EWeek thanks to the tremendous effort Fizz put in all week long! Fizz hasn't won EWeek since 2001 so it was nice to see our name on the trophy again! The rest of the night was spent in the EUS hospitality suite thanks to Peter! You needed a pass to get in and each club only gets 4 so we spent a lot of the time trying to shuttle people in. The open bar somehow lasted well into the next day, which made for a really fun night! Met lots of people from all over there, including having a pretty good chat with Spencer Keys and also met some engineers from UVIC, one of which might be a coworker this summer too!
