After a very eventful night at Cafe Journal, getting out of bed today was nearly impossible. The only thing on the schedule was "Sports Day" at 10am, which UVM left vague for a reason. I managed to stumble in just in time for the bus to take us to the stadium where our events for the day would be. If I would have known what I got myself into I would have never got out of bed! We started the day with basic games outdoors. I'm glad they started slow because all of the students were very hungover. After the basic games, we jumped to "insanely difficult if you are still drunk"...dancing. This wasn't the salsa or flamenco, this was essentially sex. We danced more vulgarly than I ever have before. I think it is important that you know that the president of the university was there watching. I had no idea that was the type of dancing they were going to teach us. We danced for at least an hour, and it was hardcore cardio. I actually had a lot of fun though. Afterwards we took the typical Vino (wine) break to prepare us for the real challenge. Soccer. International students versus the UVM soccer teams. I don't know but I volunteered to be slaughtered. The men played on one field, and the women played on another. We played 7-7 and our team was able to fill every position pretty well except for one... the goal keeper (the most important position). We finally had a guy step in to play. I sat out first quarter to help manage who to substitute in at what place. When I finally came in the score was 4-0. Ya, that bad. We brought in our A-team though. It was 2 brazilians, 1 french guy, and 4 Americans (including me). I played left defender because I can run everyone down. At halftime we managed to climb to 4-2 with the help of my legendary defense (sarcasm). I played most of the second half but the final score was 7-4 which I don't think is very bad going against a professional team. The women ended up winning in PKs. After the game I struggled to even walk, but managed to make it home and type this post. That is all folks. Hasta Luego amigos!
