Homecoming Week

The homecoming week of this year was a lot of fun which is a big part of college students' life. I went to football game, dueling piano show, and the Sunday morning worship.

For me it is really a great chance to experience different cultures. It was a sunny, warm and nice day. Before the football game started, my friends and I all painted our faces fro the game. Brandi painted her face with Trine blue as background and a white capital letter "T".Sara had a white shape thing as thunder and a blue capital letter "T' on her face. We were standing up on the bleachers of the first row and shouting at top of lung the whole game. I love shouting loudly with my friends together at the football game. It was not a competitive game, eventually Trine Thunder won it easily. Football is really a big culture thing I learned since I came here. The football players, the football couches, the cheer leaders, audiences, and photographers are altogether making a whole good game. Sometimes, it is not only a game it is a spirit. When you see those injured athletes supporting their team, when you see football players playing hard, when you hear cheer leaders cheering at their top voice, when you enjoy the game and shout for your team and see them win. Is it a sports spirit to bring everyone together ? People love seeing team work.
I also had a very good night listening a piano show in Fabiani Theater with my friends. The two male performers are very professional and hilarious. They pretty much played all the types English music no matter it is classical, country or popular.One of the guy even can sing as Lady Gaga. They know music well. They were really good at asking audience to join their show. During the performance, we were pretty much involved with making sounds and cheering. Even though I was not familiar with the most of the songs they played, it was a great night to hang out. 
The Second day morning,Sunday morning, we got together at Fabiani theater again with CCH people,their family and alumni. We sang beautiful songs which touched my heart. Christian music always has a power bringing me closer to God. Travis gave us a great speech.
Homecoming week give a chance for students to see family and let family know what our college life looks like. It is so sweet and happy to see family,having some meals together and spending a wonderful weekend on campus.
I was happy hanging out with my friends but I wish next year or the year after the next my parents will also be able to come and visit me. That will be so sweet to expect.   I love Trine's homecoming.
