Here at Dordt, fall begins with Heartland Break. This break consists of teachers coming to Dordt for a conference taught by Dordt’s professors. This also means that Dordt students get a four-day weekend! It’s a pretty great way to start fall.
This year my dad and I loaded up his truck and headed to Madison, Wisconsin, for the World Dairy Expo. Dad was working in his company’s booth but he was more excited about meeting all of his Twitter friends. I was going there to see what World Dairy Expo was, since I had never gone. I was also going to see if I could find any leads to get to New Zealand to study abroad for a semester. Dad and I both agree that the weekend was a huge success!
Dad met many of his Twitter friends at different “Tweet-ups.” I got to tag along for these and I met a lot of great people! They were very welcoming and a lot of fun to hang out with. I hope I can meet up with them in the future.
I also got to see some of my friends from California. Brenda made it up to expo on Friday and we hung out for a few hours. I also saw some of my friends from Oakdale.
While all of this was great fun, the highlight of my weekend was making contact with people who are helping me figure out how to study abroad in New Zealand next year. Thank you to all the people who helped me make these connections! We will see where they go J I’ll keep ya’ll posted on how things are going!!
