Today is the day! The Jim Mora era officially opens in Houston, Texas, against Rice. I hope you are excited as I am. I am sitting in my Bruin blue and have the TV ready. I actually know a family who has a flag they wave around in their living room during games, so…

21!
Tuesday was a very special occasion- I turned 21! Now I can check into all the hotel rooms I want without worrying about check-in age. The day started off great with the United States winning two medals in my favorite sport. Later on, I had a great home cooked meal with some close friends. It…
UCLA Camp
UCLA Athletics offers several clinics and summer camps throughout the year in fifteen sports for pre-collegiate athletes. They serve as potential recruiting opportunities, or just a fun activity for a young kid to try. This past weekend I coached and counseled at the gymnastics camp. Counseling at UCLA was a larger responsibility then my previous…
My Savior
My little sister, away studying for own finals in Santa Barbara, really had my back this weekend. She managed to acquire five large cases of Monster drinks which she courteously left in Los Angeles for me. We are talking cases of 36. No- I did not drink all of them. The real act of kindness…
Studying Away
In exactly one week, I will have finished my last final and the 2011-2012 school year will officially be over. I am really excited to go up to my favorite summer camp, Woodward West, the next week and coach gymnastics. But before that, there is work to be done. I was able to get…
Picking a Paper Topic

But, I always struggle with picking a topic! Professors will tend to give very vague and open instructions, like pick…
My new study spot
This quarter, my two south campus classes are both held in the heart of north campus, one in Dodd Hall and the other next door in Bunche. I have a two hour gap between them on Wednesday, and have discovered my new favorite study spot. With the beautiful spring weather, I like to study outside,…
An Interesting Approach to Therapy
I am not quite sure why my Psychology of Fear class keeps coming up as my topic of choice for my blog entries, but here we go again. In reality, it does dominate my life! This weekend, our professor was out of town, so we had a guest lecturer. I was aware I had to…
Bill Clinton
On my normal day walk back from class, I passed by a security notification restricting Royce Hall access tonight due to Bill Clinton’s speech. Yes, Bill Clinton, former president of the United States. It’s certainly not an everyday occasion that a man of this stature speaks at our University! He was the keynote speech for…
Interview with a Phobic
In lieu of an in class midterm examination, my psychology of fear requires an interview of a subject with a phobia with a six page write-up of the interview. This has been quite an interesting assignment. I have very little psychology background knowledge, so I have been doing a little bit of extra work just…
