24 Hour Walmart Run 2008-04-21 00:12:02 Concert was less than 24 hours away. Everything was pretty much under control. Tonight we were getting the dressing rooms ready. I sent Karina with Mark and ten other students to the gym to prepare all the dressing rooms, make signs for the artists, and make sure everything was in order. Last minute advertising was [...] Read more:Walmart
Preparing for Concert 2008-04-20 20:04:27 RA Challenge just finished and KAT is off to its next event. Eric Schwartz, #1 comedian on MySpace, came to campus tonight. He is absolutely hilarious. Not all comedians are enjoyed by most people…but Eric was different…

Downtown Delray Beach 2008-04-20 03:22:53 After Casino Night we decided to go out. I hadn’t had too much time to spend with Erica so we thought we would go out for a bit. I don’t know when the last time I went to Delray Beach
. To be honest, I think it may have been my freshman year.
We went to Aspen [...] Read more:Downtown
RHA Ends the Year with a Bang 2008-04-20 00:11:25 Casino Night was a HUGE success. Today was Passover and we still had a turn out of about 160 people. The Casino Company was really good. The dealers were a lot of fun and the equipment was just like the real casinos. I spent all day today going to Walmart and Costco getting the food [...]
Airplane Ride to Houston 2008-05-14 08:54:17 Anytime I book a coach flight anywhere, I try my best to get the exit row. I got onto the Continental flight and was surprisingly happy to see I was in the first row immediately upon entering the plane. They were just about to close the door and I was excited to see that no [...] Read more:Airplane

University of San Diego 2008-05-22 01:12:42 Within minutes on being on USD’s campus I could sense the pride and school spirit. A small walk from the University
Center to the Valley apartments, every other person was wearing some type of USD apparel. It was awesome. I am really hoping that SGA and other departments on campus can really work hard this [...] Read more:Diego

NACURH 2008 2008-05-18 00:15:25 Oklahoma State University kicks off the weekend. A weekend of pure fun, excitement, friendship, and leadership. This was one of my favorite weekends this whole academic year. It was my second NACURH conference, but this time I was representing SAACURH as Director. As part of the National Board of Directors we reviewed RHA Building Block, [...]
Athletic Summer 2008-05-23 00:25:00 Whenever I comment or complain about my weight or body image, most people look at me in disgust or like I have five heads. I may be a teenage male with an extremely fast metabolism, but that doesn’t mean I can eat all the junk I want and not exercise. I really want to build [...] Read more:Summer
Old Town San Diego 2008-05-24 19:53:21 Nice three day weekend ahead of us. We thought we would check some areas of San Diego
. One trolley stop away from campus is Old Town
. Old Town San Diego
is considered the birthplace of San Diego. It reminds me of Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. Historic buildings include La Casa de Estudillo, La Casa de [...]
Locked Out and Not An RA 2008-05-26 02:05:58 Living in California is amazing….the breathtaking views that I can see out my window as I wake up are astonishing. What campus has apartments that overlook Mission Bay? Pretty hot huh? However as glamorous are our housing accommodations, it doesn’t help if you lock yourself out.
Not even a week on campus and I locked myself [...] Read more:Locked
Pacific Beach 2008-06-02 21:11:41 Originally it was going to be six people in one car….that soon changed to seven, and for safety purposes it was not doable. Jimmy, John Henry and I decided to take public transportation and meet the others at PacificBeach
. This wasn’t the first time either. Jade drove the three of us as close as [...]
Words to Describe California 2008-06-29 15:56:22 During the school year it is rare that I have a Saturday to sleep in; a day to wake up and just do whatever I feel like doing. Being in California
I have treasured these moments. I woke up today with no agenda, schedule or anticipation of what the day might be like. I missed [...] Read more:Words
Late for Work 2008-06-25 19:29:06 This morning it was my opportunity to run the Wednesday morning meeting. If you have ever worked in events or with conferences before then you would be familiar with these meetings. This meeting is the time for us to go through the next two weeks of conferences and discuss all of those conferences that are [...]
Dicks Last Resort 2008-06-22 00:37:02 Most people know how critical I am when it comes to anything concerning hospitality. However, when we went out tonight I had to put that all aside. Dicks Last Resort
is in downtown San Diego. Other locations include Boston, San Antonio, Chicago, Dallas, Myrtle Beach, and Las Vegas. The slogan for the place is:
Dick’s Last [...]
Mashed Potato Martini Bar 2008-07-14 21:52:52 Everything has been going really well….last night there was a cocktail reception in the Science and Tech building. It was really neat. The building is only three years old and the lobby has fiber-optic magnetic string lights that hang from the ceiling center to create a chandelier effect. Around the lobby of the room are [...] Read more:Potato

National Ironworkers 2008-07-13 21:50:54 The largest conference of the summer is in-house. A huge checkin on Saturday of 384 followed by more on Sunday. As we checked in guests one after another the line continued to flow. National
Ironworkers had their own check in and then they would flow into our room for housing. They were being housed all [...]
Sound Booth 2008-08-06 23:13:41 On campus this week is Josten’s Yearbook. They host a conference for high school students who are creating and designing their high school year book. Bryana was stuck with running the theater sound and lighting so Jeanie and I joined her up in the sound booth. Josten’s was hosting a talent show.
A male student introduced [...] Read more:Sound

FroYo 2008-08-06 18:48:32 Right down the road from University of San Diego is a small establishment called Fro Yo. It was founded and started by a USD graduate. With over 25 frozen yogurt flavors and tons of toppings to choose from, it is simply amazing. Each day there are eight different flavors that are selected. You can choose [...]
Wicked 2008-07-31 21:17:05 Since the day I began work at USD, Jonnie, Bryana, and I shared an office. Jonnie and Bryana, since day one, have been singing songs from the Wicked
soundtrack. Jonnie and I left work at noon today to go to Los Angeles to meet up with Kelsey and Elise. We got dinner at California Pizza [...]
Earthquake Hits Cali 2008-07-30 17:31:35 I have experienced a blizzard, hurricane, tornado, and forest fires….now an earthquake. Jonnie, Jeanie, Bryana, and I were walking towards Toon Town when the Small World building under construction began shaking. The ground was moving and I felt a loss in balance as the lamp posts were uplifting…
I really didn’t know what was going on [...] Read more:Earthquake
Disneyland 2008-07-29 12:45:22 ….lets just say that I am not an early morning person. Waking up at 5am, 6am, etc… is not my idea of a day that is going to go well, but to get to Disneyland
Park at opening, I made an exception.
I have been so intrigued to see how Disneyland and Disney World compare. Disneyland [...]
Phantom of the Opera 2008-07-22 20:45:17 The last theater production I saw was Rent in Miami with Taryn. Summer Conferences offered a trip to go see Phantom
of the Opera for only $11.00 a ticket. I have only seen it once, so I thought I would see it again. I bought a ticket for three of my staff members too, Michael, [...]
Hurricane Season is Back: What to remember? 2008-09-01 22:23:12 I landed in Florida on August 18th with Tropical Storm Fay hitting…torrential rain storms and hurling winds. It gets scary at times, especially if you are on the road. Hurricane Gustav really did a number on New Orleans. They said it was going to surpass Katrina, but it hasn’t yet and hopefully it won’t.
Freshman begin [...] Read more:Season
John Meyer in Concert 2008-09-01 22:08:54 Within a matter of hours of my little fraternity brother getting back to campus, he asked me to see John Meyer
in concert at the Sound Advice Amphitheater in West Palm. Jesse had been waiting all summer for this concert. Living in South Florida is a great place for concerts. We have so many venues [...] Read more:Concert
So this is what the other RAs think of me… 2008-08-28 12:34:35 Being an RA for the third year in a row and usually each year training is the same. This year they spiced it up a bit, but we still have an endless amount of ice breakers to do. We really get to know each other really well. We are into the second week of training [...] Read more:think
Missing California 2008-08-26 00:18:21 Days go by that I am back in Florida and I just think about how much I miss California
…the weather was absolutely perfect. It never rained once while I was there. Although I was enjoying the “NO RAIN”, I am sure it was good for the environment. Its really good to be back at school [...] Read more:Missing
