jetzt geht los!
keine stimme aber stimmung ESB!
just got back from the the WHU eurosport competition. we left friday morning at4 am. I got about 2 hrs of sleep by the time i finished my work. before we got on the bus we got a sports bag filled with goodies including a full track warm up suit, and warm up gear. I had no idea it was gonna be such a big deal, i was psyched! in actuality when i signed up to play volleyball it thought it was just gor intramurals, then i found it there were tryouts and that i made the team. then i found out it was for this big competetion, it was great. in any case we took the bus up to Koblenz where the competition was. there were about 8 schools there from all over europe (sweeden, barcelona, a couple schools from germany, and a school form prague, and london.) there were about 50 on the bus. we competed in basketball, soccer, cheerleading, volleyball, running and rowing. i was on the volleyball team. we got there by about 9 am. we played and watched each other play all day till about 8. the team leaders from ESB were great. the entire buss ride there we practices our songs, we have about 15 (one of the songs on the sheet was one i made up at integration weekend!). when we got there we made a huge entrance. no one else had any spirit. after and during each match we played there was tons of cheering, it was really something else. a ridiculous amout of positive energy. at 8 we had dinner and then went to this big tent for the friday night party. stayed till about 2 then returned to the my hosts house with my ESB roomates. we got up at 9 to watch rowing. of course tons more singing. one of the other schools asked us to cheer for them as we werent in one of the races. in return the captain of their rowing team had to where an ESB jersey. more sports all day then the award ceremony. we won 2nd place in running and cheerleading and 3 place in volleyball, and of course we won the spirit award. after dinner we went to the satrday evening festivities which began at 11pm. it was a great time, on impulse i lifted the tallest volleyball player on our team on my shoulders (well over 6 feet) it started a revolution soon everyone was goin up on shoulders its was great. we were there till about 5 then took a taxi back and we got up again at 9 to grab the bus back. of course more singing on the ride back. this was one of the best weekends here, better than integration weekend.
