Dodgeball!

Last Friday, October 25^th, the Student Senate organized a dodgeball tournament open for both students and staff members. Needless to say, I teamed up with a few friends and got hit a bunch of times. I gotta admit I am not very good at it, but I had fun nonetheless. It was like high school all over again (I think I heard this joke a thousand of times that night, so why not tell it once more?). It was rather funny to watch staff members as well as other students, people I often see behind desks or in generally serious mood, throwing balls at each other and running back and forth in the court. Some people would turn tomato-red while others would get drenched in sweat. Indeed, it was so much fun.

Because I have such a busy schedule, I could only meet up with my team a couple of hours before the tournament itself, so we did not practice that much. We simply went down to the tennis court at school and played a little, and I am sure some of the other teams practiced for weeks. Yet we managed to win our first match! Uhul! And then, obviously, we got crushed by the next team we faced.

I don’t think I need to explain the rules of dodgeball, right? They are pretty standard, and I think everyone has played it before. If you havent, you gather a few friends and played it now. Your inner child deserves it! However, for this tournament, every team played three times against each adversary, and whoever wins twice moves on while the loser is out. Two out of three, nothing too complicated there. I feel like I cannot express how much fun we had, especially because we won. Honestly, I was surprised.

Maybe, we won because our team took it very seriously,

But, probably, that was not the reason.

P.S.: You guys were great!
