Largest Tournament in the world!


So Katie already blogged about our roommate adventure on her blog, but I figured I could still blog about it on the roommate blog. This is a picture of us (courtesy of Katie) at the largest rock, paper, scissors tournament in the world. It was pretty exciting. We got a t-shirt, hot dogs, cookies, and drinks. The highlight, of course, was the actual throw down. When it got down to it, we only had three options- rock, paper, or scissors. One wrong decision could throw the whole thing off. Talk about pressure. I decided to go with scissors first. I won. But it was best out of three. The next time we tied. You could feel the tension rising. In the end, I beat my opponent. The poor guy didn't have a chance. He was facing me, after all. I was able to proceed to round two. I got a hot dog in between, just so I could keep up my strength. It must have worked, because I won that round too. I was on a roll! Just when I started getting cocky, I faced insurmountable odds. Why were they insurmountable? Pretty much because I could not surmount them. That is when the tournament came to an end for me. I lost in the third round. Sad. I could have won $3,000, but I guess it was not meant to be. The food and t-shirts were pretty cool, though. Was it worth it? Yes. Yes, it was.
