Some basic info you may wanna know about me

Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
* I'm Vietnamese, born and brought up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. * After 18 years and 9 months, I took the longest flight ever to Minneapolis, MN, US. * Currently I am an Auggie. I double major in Accounting and Finance, and maybe minor in MIS. * Check out my blog to know more about me and my adventure. No single entry or short text can describe me completely, but in 3 words I can generalize how I am: NEVER GIVE UP :) * Making connections is the mainstream of my river of life. I believe we all need others, in one way or another, to live and to be alive. And communicating is a way of making connections.

Freshmen's Move-in Day

Wow. So we are done with move-in day of freshmen. I can't believe it! I am now overwhelmed with a bunch of feelings now: excitement, satisfaction, happiness, etc. I can't describe how amazing it is to work with other ResLife staff members. I'm so thankful that I've got the chance to work with everyone this year.

Yesterday I went to President Pribbenow's house with the ResLife crew and had a good time there enjoying the food, talking with people and taking interesting pictures. At the end of August we went camping at St. Croix Campsite for 1 day and a half. We had a lot of discussions, outdoors activities, played games at night and got to know more people on our team. It's a great feeling to feel acquainted with people, to recognize faces, call their names and get greeted by them. Being a part of ResLife does not just only bring me employment opportunity but also the chance to get involved in the great community that Augsburg tries to build. I have never felt this much of belonging. I belong to ResLife, to Augsburg, and the community around.

After we came back from the dinner, Mort team went together to move desks and chairs to international students' rooms. We fitted in an elevator, 13 people, stopped at each floor, said goodbye to each person getting out. The best part is when we gathered in a circle and sang for Kyleigh's birthday. I just wanted to hug each of them and say "I love you. Thank you!" because they are all so cute and nice.

And today is the move-in day for freshmen, as I said above. I think all of us have done a great job. My shift is the very last hours, so when I saw the last car came in, a great feeling of relief came to me. I looked around and saw all the colleagues that worked so hard all these days to make the students and parents move in more easily. And we worked really hard to finish the decorations on each floor in every resident hall. I'm proud of y'all, ResLife members!

I will upload pictures later. Look out for them!
