Thursday was a big Residence Life event called the Ugly Duckling Cup. This is an annual LCC event that I have heard a lot about and was very excited to participate in! Four teams (3 student and 1 faculty/staff) built boats mainly out of inner tubes, plastic bottles and wooden palates (and a few other things) to race around the pond on campus. This year, no boats sank, and my side (Wild Wild West was our team name) won! We got an ice cream party and the Ugly Duckling Cup - a trophy with a rubber ducky on top.
The miracle of the day was that it was rainy pretty much all day except for the one hour when we were outside for the race! The weather in Lithuania is very unpredictable, but it turned out to be sunny and beautiful! I don't have very many pictures since I was participating and planning, but here's a few....
Two girls (Ana and Nastya) from the West side showing off their boat and flag with the team name - Wild Wild West
Wild Wild West is the best, the best, the best! (announcing our team)
Faculty/staff team
Our team name was "UGLY" and our cheer was "U-G-L-Y! You ain't got no alibi! You ugly!"
We lost the race, but we won the prize for snazziest boat (in the left of the picture)
A warm-up game where each team had to have, for example, six feet, one head, and 4 hands on the ground.
Teams beginning the race! The West side team is just getting in the water in this picture. They were behind at the beginning of the race, but their boat held up better than the others, so they ended up pulling into the lead!
