Getting Into My Routine

      Things are finally starting to smooth out and get familiar. I am no longer constantly checking myself on what I have to do that day. Life is good AND calm again. But recently my home town of Pine Island was flooded and that was no house untouched by the devastation. After calls from my parents I could breathe easy as our house, though flooded, is fine. My neighbors, how ever, were not so lucky. Completely flooded basements, and backyard lakes are only a few problems. So if you could while you are reading, send good vibes over to South East Minnesota, it would be much appreciated.

     The last week blew by quickly after last weekend. Last weekend was amazing. Friday night, a bunch of friends stopped by and we watched Christmas On Mars, the Flaming Lips movie. The next night the same group of friends and I hopped the light rail over to First Ave to see a couple of local bands. Live music is one of the best things in life if you ask me, just the environment that you are put into just completely takes you away. But it was the next night that made it all perfect. The Flaming Lips. Live. Boom. My mind was blown and I am still recovering from the awesomeness that was The Flaming Lips. Wayne Coyne (the frontmat) stepped on my face. Don't worry, it was through a plastic bubble, but I would not have minded either way. The show was extravagant, with confetti and balloons galore. Throughout the next couple days I was still pulling confetti out of pockets and shoes.

   But besides all that my life is class and work. Making money just to hand it right back.

Back To Augsburg

Hello all who stumble upon this page, my name is Connor Krenik. A little about myself, I am a sophomore Film major, I work in the film office, and I enjoy many things including movies(obviously) and music. Though I am not the reason for Dinosaurs being extinct, I think it would look good on a resume. So ssshhh...don't tell anyone. I am very very happy to be back at the 'Burg, seeing as this summer was not so.....hot. Various major health issues in family has taught me to be on my toes, and to really appreciate family. The hardest of all is seeing my mom going through Chemotherapy. So there may be a time when I use this page not only to inform, but to vent.

A few tips for incoming freshmen/ hopeful applicants:

1. Do not be intimidated. College is a big step in life, but it will also be one of the best.

2. Always leave your door open. This is the best way o get to know your fellow classmates on your floor.

3. Immerse yourself in the community. Go out and explore the city, and get to know the people who inhabit it.

4. Go to concerts. The Twin Cities is a vibrant community for music lovers, the year is young and I already have 4 concert excursions  planned for the next couple of months.

Last but not least

5. Go to class. You're spending a lot of money to do so, so why not?

I am still figuring out this confangled blogging thing, I'm not the most tech savvy, but we all learn as the years go on.
