IM Sports: When I Say 'BOOM,' You Say 'GSM'!

I've talked before about Intramural Sports. And I've talked a big game. This year, the GSM has participated in soccer, softball, volleyball, basketball, and yes, even inner-tube water polo.

I'm pleased to announce that the GSM has brought home not just one, but TWO championships this year. It took 3 quarters and a few attempts, but we finally won some t-shirts! (T-shirts are the extremely coveted prize for winning an IM league.)

Here are some shots of our winning teams:

GSMen's Night: Revenge of the Nerds

GSMen's Night was a huge success this year, thanks to a few hardworking ladies. The evening's theme: Revenge of the Nerds. And the GSM gentlemen arrived looking the part...

The men were served snacks, lasagna, freshly-deep-fried corn dogs, and other various fried foods- think Snicker's Bars. (The ladies got their hands on a deep fryer, and they weren't afraid to use it.) Our fearless GSM Ambassador leader tasted her very first corn dog. And then, she had her very second corn dog. Check out that smile!

One of the best games of the night was mini-bicycle races. The relay-style race was hilariously entertaining. Here's a snapshot for you:

All in all, GSMen's night was a hit. I think the nerds were revenged...

SHAFT Goes Camping

Last weekend, the GSM went on its first annual Super Happy Awesome Fun Times camping trip! Thirty aspiring MBAs embarked on an adventure at Cache Creek. (To clear up any confusion, we went to the actual creek, not the casino). Here's a peek at our weekend o' fun:

The creek was beautiful.

The hiking was superb.

The people were happy.

The competition was on. 

The campfire was cracklin'. (And the s'mores were delicious!)

The tents were pitched.

And we had a great time!

Chinese Barbecuing

Today we have a guest blog post from Mark, a fellow Ambassador. He checked out the barbecue held at the GSM. Here's what went down: 


On Thursday the International Business Club hosted our bi-weekly ASM BBQ. They served traditional Chinese dishes including: whole roast pig, sesame chicken, king do pork spareribs, veggies, fried noodle with bbq pork, steamed riced and, of course, some drinks to wash it down. 

It was really nice to be able to relax after a long week of classes with our colleagues and enjoy the delicious food. Only a few BBQ's left this year. I can't believe we're already starting week five of Spring Quarter! It's amazing how quickly the year has flown by!
