Halloween is coming!

Yesterday , my friends and i, went to buy some accesories and costumes for halloween. At the begining we were in the Mall, but we weren't able to find good costumes, so we finished our shopping in Savers. Savers is a second hand shop where you are able to find many things and with an incredible price!I bought my costume and several accesories for only 15$




This is my first halloween, because in Spain halloween is not very popular and it is not celebrated with the same intensity as here.

I'm looking forward to this weekend,and seeing all your awesome costumes, it could be really fun and it will be an experience that i'll never forget.
Have a nice week!

Intramural Champions!

Buenos dias!
In the last post, I mentioned that we had qualified for the intramural's final!!, well, we played this final on thrusday and we won 1-0! so we are the champions and the organiaztion present us a blue shirt as proof of our victory!

Well done team!!!

After game, we went out for Water street to celebrate the victory all the nigth and it was really fun! thank you so much for everything mates. We are gonna win the indoor soccer championship next semester too!!

This weekend also got another championship with the university soccer team, so it was a busy weekend! hehe

I wish you all have a good week. In my case, I have many things to do so i will probably visit the library every day this week :(

See you people!

Just for kicks :)

On Thursday our soccer intramurals team won again. So far our team is undefeated and this Thursday it’s finals. Our team is really happy for this accomplishment because we have to live up to the other international teams that played previous years.

I didn’t get to play a lot on Thursday because someone hit me on my leg and I got a cramp, so I didn’t play as much as I would have liked. I had to take care of my leg because I needed to be good so this week I can play to my best potential.

Our games are really fun because not only we have good communication in our team, but also we use our foreign language as an advantage. This is helpful because the other team can’t understand what we are saying and we are able to make strategies.

Saturday I had to get up early to go and work at the soccer fields behind Bollinger. I think I get to practice my English a lot there because I’m always interacting with people. Once they hear my accent they always ask me where I’m from and when I tell them I’m from Spain they asking me more questions about my country. I like this because I get to share my culture.

Next week I’ll let you know how our team did for the intramurals final. Hopefully we will win and we’ll receive a T-Shirt to prove our victory!

See you gente!

Homecoming experience

I could not have enjoyed more this autentic american experience! I have heard about this homecoming thing since my arrival to Eau Claire more than one moth ago already! But I would have never imagined this.This busy weekend has just been perfect. It seems hard to describe to my family and friends in Spain, we do not have anything similar to this big event.

We spent friday night with lots of internationals and also american friends, dancing, chatting and even playing some music. Saturday the day started early, after a challenging visit to the pickle before the sunrise in order to cotinue with the tradition, we got our green t-shirt in the bar that early.This was just the beginning of a long and non stopping day...The scenario was as follows: crowded houses in first avenue and surroundings, people sitted in the roofs of student houses, all painted and with colorful t-shirts, jumping for candies as the parade passed and then, finally, the match! I finally got to know the rules of this american football livened up by the fantastic band, just perfect.
It is time now to catch up with work after these last enjoyabe days ...Oups!

Hope you all have enjoyed a marvellous homecoming too :)
