HOMECOMING MADNESS

Homecoming: An annual event at schools, colleges, and universities for visiting graduates.

With the definition of this word I start my post for this week. I do not know about your countries but in mine gong to college is a pretty linear activity. You wake up, go to class, get some homew

ork, go back home , do homework and get ready for the next day. Pretty routinely, not much to expect other than another regular day. H

ere in the

US, schools try their best to keep students engaged with the campus community by having activities almost every day of the week. But there is one activity that goes beyond the normal standard. Homecoming !!!!!

During the whole week there are games and visits from alumni. It is funny, the other day a student was giving a tour around the campus to the Augsburg class of 1960-something. Since those tours are usually given to people that are planning to attend to the school I told my friends “see guys, there is the upco

ming freshman

class”....hopefully you got the joke.

Homecoming comes along with a big celebration on Saturday befo

re and after the so called “homecoming football(american football)

game”. This year there was a good amount of people around despite the cold and rainy weather. I enjoyed of the FREE food, breaking the piñata with the Hamline University logo(the football game was against them) and the always cool block party after the game.

Anyway, homecoming is a great excuse to

socialize, meet new people and strengthen the pride of being part of a school in this case to be an AUGGIE!!!!

I have some great pictures (some other that are not that great) for you to “disfrutar”.

The First time is the Hardest Time.

Who would say that as nights get longer days get shorter, that time is relative and that love is not where you expect it to be.

I believe we deserve a proper introduction. My name is Sergio Romero Garcia. I am what you could call an eloquent

latin american. I was born in Bogota capital of the beautiful Republic of Colombia. I am a Physics and Mechanical Engineering student at this awesome place that is Augsburg College.

I am a nomad or as I like to think, “a citizen of the world”. You see, my family moves from one place to another like the ancient gypsies or Arabs. We go with the wind and live to see what abstruse adventure will come next. Some people do not accord with me but I believe that this is the right way to live your life.

I love music as much as I love to be Colombian, as a matter of fact just yesterday I went to see one of my favorite bands up in Golden Valley, a suburb of Minneapolis. To keep it short, I will say it was awesome.

This is the first of the many post il

l be making on the following days. My idea is to show you(people) more about my life as an Auggie and as an international student. Please forgive me if I am killing the English language with my bag grammar, I think after some writing either you are going to get used to bad use of words or I am

going to get better at writing.

Ill leave you with some cool pics I took at the concert I was talking about.

Que tengan un buen dia mi gente!!!
