Dewa Athena | Sport Competition of SMAN 3 Bandung

HI Guys! Today i want to tell you about an event from my school.

You might be curious right? 

Wait, what? You don't want to know?

Well, YOU SHOULD READ IT ANYWAY! Let's begin XD

Dewa Athena is an event made by SMA Negeri 3 bandung. "Dewa" means "Male Greek God" and Athena is a Greek God of wisdom and strategy, Athena is female (for your information). However, Athena isn't the Goddess of Sport, The God of Sport in ancient Greek mythology is Hermes. So i think the name of the event wasn't compatible with the event itself. Anyway, Dewa Athena is a sport competition between classes of same generation in SMAN 3 Bandung. For 3’2018 generation, it held on Thursday, 23^rd of March till Friday, 24th of March 2017. For my generation, 3’2019, it held on 25^th of March, 1^st April, and the final will be held on next Saturday, 8th April. 

Saturday, 25^th of March, The event began at 7.30 a.m., however, I went to SMAN 3 at 5.30 and arrived at six. I know right, It was so early. For your information, It because I didn’t go to school by myself because my home is 14km far from my school, and I didn’t go with my parents because they went to East Java that time, so I was home alone for 3 days. I went to school with my neighbor, so I should went to SMAN 3 earlier. They were so kind to me, they gave me breakfast and forced me to tell them if i need to go somewhere, so they can pick me up. I feeling really grateful to them. So yeah, anyway, I waited for the event to begin for one and half hours. It was so boring and creepy at my school since I was alone there. Luckily, my friends who live closer to the school arrived, so I wasn’t alone anymore. We went to Lapangan Bali since the event would be held there. 

At 7.30 the event began, the whole students assembled with their own class. There was an “LO” , he is the one who will given us information about the game or competition that we should attend. The first two games were holding in the same time, so my class divided into 2 groups, one saw the Girls Badminton competition and the other saw Gobak Sodor competition. It’s okay if you don’t know what is gobak sodor, I think it is an typical game of asian or Malays. FYI, it is a game which need more than 2 peoples. It’s attended by 2 different groups. One groups guard the way to finish likes a gate and another groups attempted to go through them without getting touch from the other group. If the competitor reaches the finish, he/she should go back to the start by passing the other groups again, if it works, your groups will get a point for each member who can go back to the start. If 3 members or the whole members getting touch, the first round end and will be began again another round which the guard team on the 1^st round will be the evaders, or the one who attempted to go to the finish and back, and the other group who originally the evaders team on the 1^st round will be the guards. That was my explanation about Gobak Sodor, a bit too long I think .-. if you don’t understand what I explained just go search it on google :/ . Let’s just continue to the story.

My friends and I went to bangsal to see my friend who will be the badminton game participants. Sadly, They lose. I really want to play badminton since the last time I play was about 4 years ago. So, I played badminton outside with my friend and I really like to play it. After that my friends and I watched another game that my class joined like relay race, tug of war, volley, dodgeball and basket. I played the dodgeball game but we lose. I think I suck at this game :/. My class just won one game at that time, it was volley. Next volley round will be began next Saturday, 1^st April. I went back home by public transportation, total fee from my school to my house is 16.000 IDR, or about 1,6 USD. I know it wasn’t very important, just sharing some information with you guys lol. 

On Saturday, 1^st April, the event continued. It was a bad day for me, I don’t think you want to know lol, but I will tell you anyway. The day began with me who was late to go to school. Don’t think you want to know how late I was, it was 5 minutes late fyi :D. don’t worry, it wasn’t the worst thing on that day. That day, my class just need to attend a few game. That were volley, male badminton, and soccer. So, I just played some game with my friends that day like volley and badminton. The soccer competition which joined by my class lose. The opponent was X Science 11 or you can call it X Accel. The best player from the opponent I think was Ziyad, he is our ex-class members and Football Captain while in SMP (Junior High School). However, we won on the 1^st volley game that day and will be played again at 2 p.m. One of the player form my class, should played at badminton game first, and sadly they failed, they lose, so sad right?! Then we played the 2^nd volley game, I think it was semifinals. Our opponent was X Science 8. The first round we lose, the scores were really close L. However, the 2^nd round we won, yeayy. So it was tied and we held the 3^rd round. The 3^rd round we lose again the scores were 15-13, really close right? I was feel bad for my class because I was played the volley game, and you know what? I was so suck at that, I can’t even do serve or do pass. Yeah, I feel really bad L. The event ended at 3.30 p.m. But, after the event ended, I had another event with my extracurricular friends, and it was fun. I arrived at home at 7 p.m, it was the most exhausting day ever.

Well, i know there are no pictures on this post unlike the other posts, sorry then. Anyway, who cares? lol

All the love xx
