Today was the Rice Bowl, the football tournament between the different Asian student organizations. TASA (Taiwanese) played alongside VSA (Vietnamese) as a team. Man, I hadn't really ever played tackle football for real before in my life, so I was pretty clueless. I played offensive (and occasionally defensive) line, which are supposed to take the least brains/strategy/knowledge of the game. I thought that worked out pretty nicely considering my relative physical size. Hah, oooooohh boy...

I got to the field on game day, and I swear, I've never seen that many BIG Asians before in my life, hahaha. I barely managed to hold my own. I thought I was geting pushed around all over the place, but afterwards a team mate told me good job for never letting anyone break through my side of the line. Huh, so I guess I didn't do so bad after all. But yea, we played 3 games in total- first against the FSA (Filipino) which we lost, then against the KSA (Korean) which we won, and a championship against the FSA again that we lost. =/ Well, it was fun anyways. What a workout; my arms had never felt that dead before. Props to Andy for showing me how to hit.

Afterwards, TASA had Hot Pot Night. We all gathered at someone's house and had Chinese hot pot. mmmm... good. I ate a TON; I was sooooo full. Didn't stay for the after party.
