May Bumps 2009

Posted June 30, 2009 in Personal-University

Hundreds of people lined the edge of the Cam on the final day of bumps. Our score at this point was two bumps up and one row over and we were expecting a reasonably easy victory. After some reasonably poor rowing we caught Emmanuel II just after the Railway Bridge. It was amazing bumping on the final day: I experienced a feeling of absolute euphoria when we rowed past the cheering crowds wearing the twigs that signify victory.

Bumps Dinner was also reasonably extravagant and everyone enjoyed themselves. I sat near my Director of Studies and Sam similarly to last term and we all had a good, slightly tipsy, conversation. The food was excellent and they took some great pictures.
