After playing for BV Cloppenburg for a year and a half, it is now time to say good bye. We set a really high goal for our team, and although we didn't make it into the first league, we did finish in third place, which is a long way from almost being relegated last season. Our last game was on Sunday against Herforder SV and we won 5-1. I even managed to get an assist. Before the game they handed out flowers to all the players who are not coming back to the team next year. It was a bittersweet moment. Many of the girls who are leaving have been with the team since the very beginning. I was also very sad when I received my flowers, but I am also excited to move on to new things.
Our team party was held later that night. The party was complete with German sausage, Jagermeister, and Schlager music. Every time I took a shot, my glass would be refilled within minutes. We were that last ones to leave around 3:30 a.m. It is hard to think that I have spent a year getting to know a lot of these girls, and there is a good chance that I might not see them again. I now have only 10 days left here. Hopefully I will a try-out with a team moving up into the first league soon. But as of now, I am not certain what I will be doing 2 months from now. On one hand it is scary not knowing what will come next, but on the other hand, I have the ability to do whatever I choose.
Here is a link to one of my favorite Schalger songs. Mainly because I know the words, and it plays non-stop in our locker room.
