Gymnastics Meet

Hey all!

January 13, 2012 was Friday and the end of the first study week at the University of Utah. The first week also happened to be the International Welcome Week for those students who came from abroad, like I did.

Earlier that week I got an e-mail and here are some parts of it: Hello and Welcome to a new Semester at the U! This Friday January 13^th, 2012, the Study Abroad Office will be hosting a welcome dinner and activity for new and incoming exchange students. We will be eating dinner at The Pie Pizzeria and attending a University of Utah gymnastics meet. We would love for other exchange students to come and meet and welcome the new exchange students to the U! Please dress accordingly. Hope to see you there! Don’t forget to RSVP!

Everything went great! The gymnastics meet was amazing and one of the reasons for that was the atmosphere. So many people were cheering for the University of Utah team and I also liked the part when everyone was singing the National Anthem. Our team won and because of that, the big letter U was shining red and white after the match…

It’s a shame that my friend Claire and I didn’t really understand what “dress accordingly” meant before the gymnastics meet. But once we went into the Huntsman Center it was all clear: we should have worn something red – the color of the University of Utah…

Love,
