LAX

What a great weekend!

This weekend I made another trip up to LA to watch my cousins Alexa and Caroline play against each other during USC Women's Lacrosse Inaugural Match at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It was such an awesome moment watching them play against each other on such a highly competitive level.

Alexa and Caroline duke it out at Caroline's first Division 1 lacrosse game!

Prior to the game, I went to Manhattan Beach, where I would be staying for the weekend and went surfing with my other cousins. I also got the opportunity to explore the area. All I can say is that living there would'nt be so bad, and by that I mean, sign me up!

During the weekend I felt like a proper tourist as I hiked to the Hollywood sign. Mind you, when I say hike, I mean glorified uphill walk. The trail was not difficult, but the views were great. I was basically staring at a panaramic view of LA, which looked much better than the last time I was there. Afterwards I headed to the Caroline's second lacrosse game of the season against UMass.

It was really nice seeing my family and being part of my cousin's game experience.

Life in San Diego

Hello again! Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a crazy few weeks.

So to start, my best friend Olivia and some of my friends from CMA came down to San Diego for my birthday weekend, which was a blast! To top it off, some of the sophomores were transferred to a ship that is based in San Diego, so they too were able to take part in the festivities! It was definitely nice having so many people I care about with me for my birthday, especially because my family was so far away. During the weekend I gave Olivia the grand tour of San Diego. We went to La Jolla, Del Mar, Pacific Beach, Solona Beach and Coronado. A pretty decent coastal trip.

Now back to work, the following week at work consisted of a scramble to finish the inclining report and to keep moving ahead on the as builts for the Diver Support Vessel for the Navy. Basically I have been an autocad monkey, which fortunately is okay by me. To top it off the past two weeks have been taken over by packing and unpacking as we moved back into our newly remodeled office. Fortunately, the new office still has some pretty nice views.

My Desk!

Over the weekend, I was able to take a short trip up to LA to watch my high school classmate Sarah play a a club lacrosse game against USC, and visit my cousin Caroline as well. It was a nice change of pace although LA is not the nicest city in the world...

This week at work was crunch time. I alternated between unpacking the office and fixing drawings. In short I was morphing between a glorified pack mule and an AutoCAD monkey. Not horrible animals to be. Fortunately we were able to hand everything in on time.

This weekend, I will be heading back to lovely LA to watch my cousins face off in a division 1 women's lacrosse match, Northwestern vs USC.
