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! :)
