The Residential Hall Association (RHA) Councils of Missions A/SAPS/San Buenaventura and Missions B hosted a Post Easter Egg Hunt event in the valley yesterday. The two councils placed plastic eggs with raffle tickets and candy around the courtyards between the Missions B buildings and around Mission Crossroads. It was a very fun and successful event. We had a good turnout, and everyone had a good time. The prizes were pretty sweet too. It ranged from $5 Jamba Juice and Fiji Yogurt giftcards to $10 iTunes and Starbucks giftcards to a $30 Target giftcard. Everyone basically left with a prize. Our next events for RHA will be next week which is the Earth Day Movie to celebrate the upcoming Earth Week and our traditional Missions B Waffle Wednesday.

Tomorrow will be the College Visiting Admit Day for prospective students. I will be helping out as a morning greeter and a lunch time mingler as a member of Ambassadors Club. I'm pretty stoked for that too. Those events are always fun. The San Diego The Rescue Kick Off Party and the White Flag Caravan Parade are also going on this weekend for the upcoming Invisible Children event called The Rescue. (If you're interested to know what it is, here's a link:(http://www.therescue.invisblechildren.com/) And lastly, the San Diego Earth Fair at Balboa Park is going on also. It's a pretty big event and attracts about 75,000 visitors annually. USD will provide trams for students all day to Balboa Park and back to campus on Sunday. It's gonna be a really busy weekend, but I'm way excited! :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I'm back home in Monterey Bay enjoying my Easter break! We're on break from April 9th-13th. I'll be back to school on Tuesday just in time for a meeting at noon and a class at 4pm.

Last week, some members of USD Founders Club and I went to Julian, a historical gold-mining town by the Cuyamaca mountains and Lake Cuyumaca about an hour east of San Diego for a day retreat trip. . We did a lot of teambuilding activities and had such an amazing time there. I'm so glad I attended this day retreat because I got to meet new people and got closer to them instantly through this great bonding experience! We had an early start to our Saturday morning. We left USD at around 8:30 am and didn't get back to campus til 7:30 pm. Yes, it was an entire day's worth of both physical and mental activities on the rope course. It was exciting because it was a new experience since a lot of the activities we did were something I have never done before. Some of the activities included were: balancing on logs as a team, rock wall climbing, and going on the zip lines! A lot of the teambuilding tasks given to us seemed impossible at first, but through communication and team work, we were able to achieve victory! One task in particular was having to rearrange ourselves in order of our favorite pizza topping alphabetically without talking while balancing on a log! Personally, wall climbing was a challenge for me at first. I did it for the first time, and I definitely underestimated the level of difficulty of this activity! It was quite exhausting and tiring to pull myself up on the wall and not to mention the intimidating thought of heights and being so far from the ground. But with the support of my team and their cheering, enthusiasm, and encouragement, I reached the top of the wall and succeeded! I was so proud of my accomplishment of the day. After a long and exhausting day, we headed to the town of Julian for their famous apple pies with caramel and cinnamon ice cream on the side! What a great way to end our super amazing day! :)
