Moo if you ...

I just watched a movie with good Auggie friends (not sure if naming people is legit here...) and had come great ice cream (all ice cream should be great) and tomato soup with some grilled cheese.

Anyhow, tonight I was reminded of how kool sometimes it is to just hang out around. Usually one just gets too cought up in things and does not relax sometimes.

Looking forward to this coming school year- and I am sure I will get the chance to enjoy some night as I have enjoyed tonight.

Oh, and the picture connects two way here. One in that it is related to ice cream- I'm sure you got that. And the other one is about last year. So, I have been part of Student Senate since my first year here at Augsburg. During my year the Vice President, when asking member to vote, instead of raising hands, sometimes he would say, "Those in favor please say, 'Moo." How funny?! Those were good times... Moo, agreed!

Oh, again. And the picture, I just realized, is from our past food service providers. They are gone now- that must say something, right? Student Senate was active there... No cow no more in The Commons. Oh, well. We got Avian's now and have seen improvements.

Why "Del Pueblo"

This will be my second post, and I have to say that I have now started to think more about blogging. Or actually taking the time to put those thoughts into writing. As I said in my previous blog, I will attempt to put into words the reasons why I call this blog, "Del Pueblo."

The title is Spanish for two reasons. One reason is because I happen to speak Spanish, so that makes sense. The other reason is because "pueblo" means town. This, at least where I come from, means more than just a town. It speaks of community, of people coming together. There is a sense of belonging to it, where town's people are part of a tight community- a community that looks out for its fellow members. And I want to voice some of the experience in the Auggie community.

At the same time, I am very much interested in democracy, and politics as well. Del Pueblo alludes to the idea of government for the people, by the people. Because I am a member of the Auggie community, I thought it was appropriate to claim that this blog is authentic to its core and true to its community. It is done by someone in the community; that is by an Auggie.

Creating a blog

So, I just created this blog: http://juvedelpueblo.blogspot.com/

Well, it all went well. It's exciting to start your own first blog where you have no idea what you will be writing about- whether or not you will be able to contain yourself to not convert the blog into your diary where your reactionary mind speaks out...

Anyhow, I was saying that everything was going well. I had to come up with a name for the blog (which I will explain later) and whatnot. However, when I got to the part where you have to enter this code (to "prove" that I am a human (never use "prove" on front of Professor Crockett...)), I couldn't do it. I mean, I could not read what that thing said. It was irritating (when I am not trying to be irritated) and the thing won't work!

I almost gave up, but as a great Auggie, I kept trying. Finally, this thing is working and now I am able to move on and start writing about the wonders of the world (not really).

Moral of the story: and everything was good- not perfect for sure! (Took that from the Bible since we are a Lutheran school; gotta show it somehow, right? Learned something in religion class I have to say)
