This week is an exciting one for us here at Western Rowing, this is because the temperature has decided to soar to the mid twenties, and the lake is thawed, to allow us to go for a row! These temperatures are quite uncommon here for March. Though at the end of winter, even a mild winter like this one, this extra warmth is quite welcome. Even if it means global warming, at the moment, we'll take it. Might regret saying that later this summer, but for now, yee haw!
However, the ability to go for a row is somewhat bridled, given that we all get to enjoy the fun of radar week this week - which is a week of erg testing. Fun stuff. The erg testing is proving to be extra fun due to the fact that the university has so far neglected to acknowledge the warm temperatures and has left the heat on, making the temperatures in the erg room akin to a tropical jungle.
Copious sweating aside, life goes on and it seems as though people are anxiously awaiting the return to being on the water. Although, it is suspected the Mr Boui is more looking forward to the return to being in the water. I jest of course, but seriously. Things are starting to work their way towards wrapping up at school here. It is funny though, how wrapping up at the end of the year is interpreted by many profs as ramping up because they're not quite going to finish the curriculum. Soon enough we'll be in exams, then it'll be summer.
