So this weekend was amazing. The Schleswig-Holstein(the German state that I'm living in) cheerleading championship was on saturday. We had practice on Friday and then had a team bonding/sleep over thing. After practice we all went to this YMCA type place that had a bar and restaurant and training facilities and all that. We had some champagne, ate some food, talked. Then we all got ready for bed, had a motivational talk with the coach. It was a good night. The morning came quickly, we had to get up at 6 to get ready and eat breakfast. Then a 2 hour bus ride to Kiel(state capital). In Germany, cheerleading isn't a very big sport. Even though this was a state championship, it reminded me of a city competition in the states. There were only about 10 teams, and none of them were very good. The scoring system is completely different here, I haven't decided if it's better or worse.
The good news is, we straight dominated everybody. Our youngest team, TLC Candy, took 1st place out of...1 team. The pee wee team, TLC Cutie, took 1st out of 7 teams. Our junior team, TLC Goody, took 4th out of 10 teams. And the team I help, the senior team, TLC Temptation, took 1st out of 5 teams :) :). Not only did we take 1st, we beat the 2nd place team by 15 points, which is A LOT! I am very proud of them. Especially Klitschko, who near the end of the routine ended up falling on her head doing a round off back tuck(flip). She got up, finished the routine, and promptly passed out and had to be taken to the hospital. Luckily she only had a concussion and not a broken neck. She spent the night and is now recovering at home. If she hadn't had the strength/adrenaline to finish the routine, we wouldn't have won. Bus ride home was fun. It was a very emotional night.
The people that were old enough and still had the energy to go out, went out to the club and danced all night. I had to take my moped, and it was raining, and it was a 6.5 mile ride, in the dark, and I got a bit lost on the way there. Not fun. Dancing with my team was a blast though. One of the girls didn't have a way home, so I made a seat out of a towel on my storage rack thing on the back of my moped, and we drove home, in the rain, it was quite interesting, but we had a nice talk, but she lived about 5 miles past my apartment, which made it an 11 mile trip to her place, and 5 miles back to my place, in the rain, I was cold.
Today I slept...a lot. Did a lab report with my lab partner, and prepared for our lab on monday. Watched a really good movie called Martian Child. Now it's bed time. I will get pictures of my Italy trip, and of my cheer team posted soon...
