My Weekend

Well, my week was interesting.

Lets start with Wednesday.
  • My Girlfriend broke up with me because she saw the side of me that wouldn't take peoples shit...I guess "Wie gewonnen, so gewonnen"
Now comes my German State Competition
Friday:
  • From 4th period I left one campus to go to the other. (We have 2 high schools)
  • Head up to Austin from Houston, with 40 people on a bus.
  • Get bored on the 4 hour bus ride sitting on this laptop listening to music and playing Minecraft (of course.)
  • Get to the hotel and put our things in our room in our (surprisingly) not half-bad Motel 8 room
  • Go up to Barton Creek and meet family here.
  • Buy old N64 games at brand new price(though they all play great) in a place called Press Play (AWESOME PLACE)
  • Head to the hotel and play in the pool for an hour and a half. 
  • Have so much fun!
  • Minecraft, then sleep
Saturday:
  • Wake up at 5:45AM
  • Downstairs for breakfast at 6:30 in 50% folk dance uniform.
  • eat
  • move a gingerbread church
  • leave 30 minutes late because of someone not turning on their phone or talking to any of the chaperones and having them look for him the whole time.
  • get to UT Austin and unpack everything in a painfully slow fashion.
  • walk into main building (UTC, where 3 of my four events are.)
  • deliver gingerbread houses, and there were some GOOD houses there. I may post pictures once i get them.
  • Skit 1 1st, Rapunzel. didn't miss a beat, did great.
  • accidentally signed up for an event at 10:30 instead of 11:30
  • resigned up for event
  • Folk Dancing at 10:20, didn't get in till 10:30, the group before us was intimidating and danced with benches.
  • Walked in, went mostly great, but we messed up at the very first beat: 1 TOO MANY couples
  • 1st dance great, Boarischer besides having 18 when the max was 16
  • 2nd dance great, Aggatanz
  • 3rd dance went great (though they marked us down for our lift "failing" (it didn't) Man in Heu
  • 4th dance great, all male plattl, Praxplattl
  • 5th dance went great, Ziller
  • by the end we had parts of our costume all over the classroom we were preforming in.
  • final score average: 130 out of 150. (would and should have been 145 out of 150, without those two errors i noted)
  • after competition is over
  • go down to Waterloo with 4 others including chaperone.
