The weather today in southern Germany is gorgeous!
It's been a full weekend, but another good one: Friday night we had a cards tournament and gave away some prizes to the winners. Unfortunately our staff RA’s did too good of a job and ended coming in 1st and 3rd so some of the candy ended up in the staff’s hands instead of the students. After guys were out of the tournament we put on the movie “The Prince and the Frog” for the them to watch.
Beyond that, this weekend seemed nearly identical to last weekend. On Saturday there was a track meet that involved a total of four department of defense schools and BFA. Between that and the four soccer games yesterday (Varsity and JV guys and girls) it was a full day in the sun! BFA soccer guys and girls have started out the season undefeated, and yesterday both the boys teams won and the varsity girls won while the JV girls tied. HBR junior, Andrew, managed to score a goal in the varsity game, and the team needed it as the final score was 5-4. In the JV game Sam L. had a nice assist and just missed a goal in a 3-1 win.
Track was a little bit harder for me to keep tabs on, with all the heats and different races. I think some of our guys said that they had times that “qualified them”, but I’m not really sure what that means. I think for the end of the year final meet you have to run a certain time, or throw a certain distance, etc, in order to compete in an event and so some of our guys met that goal yesterday and were excited about it.
Today for lunch we had burgers and chips out on the basketball court. It felt like a big family picnic as we turned on the grill and everyone just kind of hung outside and enjoyed the weather. Then after lunch a group of guys went over to a field in Holzen and played some ultimate Frisbee. We had a pretty good turn out . . . but I think that had something to do with them being told that a girls dorm was going to be there . . . and then they never showed up. So after about an hour, and once the realization that the girls weren’t going to be showing up, many of our guys surprisingly decided that they were too tired and ready to go back to the dorm! It was still fun and with such nice weather it was great to be outside.
A beautiful soccer crowd!
