Quiz Night and Pay Day

Last night was quiz night again! It was the first time we actually had a real team! Maria and Matthew joined our team, and keeping with the Boston theme, we went with "Hahvahd" as our team name. Niall was reading the questions this time, and he had to ask us how to properly pronounce our name :)

The first section was about metals, music and actual metal substances. Maria rocked it with her random knowledge of things! We were in maybe 4th place after the first round. The first beer challenge was an imitation of a Bond villain. The second section of the quiz was about romantic comedies, so, naturally, Maria and I had that one in the bag. This for the second beer challenge, we watched a movie clip compilation and had to name as many movies as we could from it. We won!!! I can't say I was really of help. Maria, Matthew, and Gianni made it happen. I think we were only like 5 off of having them all! We got a pitcher of beer and shared it with our friends from orientation. More people we know have been going to quiz in the last few weeks, which is really nice. After the second round, team Hahvahd was in first place! Only by two points, but still. The third round was a complete the lyrics round. There were some really tough ones in there, but it was a very fun round. We did okay, but not great. We weren't so sure of what the results would be afterwards because we only felt okay about how we had done. We finished the game in second place! We won about $50 to share between the 4 of us. Good winnings! It seems like Maria, Matthew, Gianni, and I are good at coming in second together :)

It was a really fun night. After the quiz, I picked up a scale I was buying from someone for $5, and we quickly went to Home Plus. I got the teachers at my school some cookies because, after your first pay check (which we got today!!!), you're supposed to do something nice to show your thanks. I think cookies are a nice way to thank anyone.
