Mission Accomplished

Anybody who has heard me talk about Cork has probably heard me talk about UCC badminton, and anybody who has heard me talk about UCC badminton has probably heard me talk about the Intervarsities.

It's the yearly competition for all the college badminton teams in Ireland.

Two years ago, UCC came off a 15ish year losing streak to win:

2007 Waterford Intervarsities Champs

Last year, I flew back from California (in the midst of thesis hell) to compete. We lost in the semi-finals due to some petty mind games on the part of opponents. Still awesome:

2008 Dublin Intervarsities Semi-Finalists

This past weekend, WE WON!!!!!!!!!!

2009 Maynooth Intervarsities CHAMPIONS

Oh, and we won the Munster Premiere League in Killarney on St. Paddy's Day. UCC is unstoppable. I am just overflowing with pride in each and every single one of my teammates--how well they played, how well we worked together, what fantastic people they are.

Jessica is happy. That is all.
