What defines your class? What gives it identity?
I think that we have a very positive class culture in terms of balancing the dichotomy between taking on our challenges seriously, and not letting our setbacks effect us too much. We view being put in the 2f as an opportunity to beat and rattle the 1f and have fun doing so. This is a mindframe that will help our class keep finding our speed.
What is your classes strength?
My class thinks that we have something to prove. I think we believe that we are expected to not perform as well as classes before us. We are set on proving that expectation to be false.
What is the most humorous moment of the year so far?
Inputting data in the captains room after an erg session. After a while, we hear all the rowers singing along to Hallelujah while cooling down in sync on the c2s.
