earl in oxford: Continuing to work backward

I have already covered the happenings on Friday and Saturday, now on to Wednesday and Monday. The final banquet was on Wednesday night, it was a very nice meal at a quite posh hotel. The whole college was there, we took one big photo together for the upstairs near the library and then many other photos as well, some of these you will see at the end of this blog. After eating Simon took the mic and handed out some awards, he is a real comedian and left hardly any stone unturned as he made mention of most students and got a laugh very routinely. Once he was done he forked the mic over to Rebecca and I to host the remainder of the proceedings. We had arranged for the tutor group leaders to be thanked, and then Paul impersonated Simon by delivering a monologue that turned into a spoof like preach about a topic that Simon talks about all the time at college. He wore his sweater, stood like him, paused like him and garnered a bunch of laughs. After that we had poetry which was written for each staff member, these brought a chuckle, and then the finale of the evening was a sketch that Rach and Ian had put together to give an example of what a Monday morning staff meeting is really like. All staff members were had during this sketch, laughter and tears rolled during this time, hilarious to be truthful, it is the kind of the thing that you had to be there. I was there and it was amazing, the staff felt oddly blessed through this skit. I felt good about it all, the jokes were great, nobody felt taken advantage of yet everyone had a laugh at each others expense. Monday night was a superhero party that you'll see pics from also at the end. Some of the costumes were quite outlandish, I went as Big Dog whilst Rebecca went as the Super Bee. Janson calls me Big Dog and many of the girls call her Bee, so that was a good time, even while the rain fell on the BBQ. Do enjoy the pics. later,
earl
