Hair cuts of the guys seconds

ok wow, so it's been a while since i've posted on this thing. I've been back in California for a few weeks now, working on campus at Poly. But first I have to wrap up my Melboune and and Oz trip. I'll throw in a few of the big events leading up to my flight home - starting with Rowing Day.

Yup woke up at 6am, was down by the river eating breakie at 8 watching the races until Noon. At queen's the sport we take most seriously is by far rowing. With this said it's obvious that the ENTIRE college would be watching as well. We won all 4 events: Men's 1st, Women's 1st, Men's 2nd's and Women's seconds. This amazing feat has never been done in the history of University of Melbourne and many said will never happen again. Needless to say the celebrations were high spirited and lasted weeks. To keep us entertained between races were the traditions of Watermelon heads which entails making a helmet out of a watermelon and bang heads until one breaks...whoever's lasts the longest wins (i didn't participate...haha) and the hilarious haircuts the Men's seconds (for aeronautical reasons of course) revealed that morning.
