Wins & Losses

Win—M* and the Judge Business School football (soccer) team. They spanked the Cambridge University Chinese Society 4-1 on Sunday. Now this win was notable for a few reasons: JBS is in the bottom of their tier and CCS is at the top of the same tier, many of the regular JBS members were not able to play, JBS started the game with only 10 players (11 needed), they played the first half with no subs and only one sub in the second half. This was to be JBS's last game, but since they beat a team of much higher rank, they'll progress. I was so excited about the win, that I forgot to take photos.

Loss—A game of Guillotine by Me and M* to James. After a meal of homemade sushi and a bottle of wine, we introduced James to the this easy-to-learn card game with funny illustrations. While M* and James basically tied, I was far, far behind. My gaming mojo has deserted me.

Loss—A kick-ass temp job. I interviewed with the Martin Centre, part of the University of Cambridge's Department of Architecture, for a part-time job assisting on a sustainability project. The interview went really well—the interviewer even sent me home with materials about the project—but they awarded the position to someone who could commit to a longer period of time and with more UK public health experience (the NHS wanted a sustainable hospital design). The job would have dovetailed nicely with my volunteering at Shape East—but oh well.
