Cassie Cash: Wrapping This Quarter Up! →
cassandra-cash:
Let me just start off by saying we are currently only have three weeks left of school, and then finals week! I am so excited that this quarter is finally coming to an end. The only class that I am kind of stressing about is PR Theory. Overall, my mid quarter grade is a high B, which is really…
I can’t wait for this quarter to finish! I am in PR Theory too and these...

Election Results!
Yesterday it seemed like everyone was talking about the elections. My teammates were all talking about what time the results would be on time and if we would make it back in time from our game. People were walking around schools wearing their “I voted” stickers. Some of my teammates even asked me where they could go to cast their vote.
Facebook and instagram seemed to be covered in posts about...

Field Assignment #1
This field assignment was a little more difficult for me than I expected. I originally planned on writing about the Hot Dog Caper that happened early this year. I even had a few meetings to start my research and writing about the report. I was also a participant in the Caper so I felt like I would be able to get inside information. The problem I encountered was that a lot of the people in...

I am doing my first field assignment on the California Beer Festival on October 6th, 2012 at Frank Bonelli Park in San Dimas. The event was from 12:30-5 p.m. The The California Beer Festival is put on in four different locations all over California. The locations include: Ventura, Santa Cruz,
Sounds like a fun event to cover! I think I might try a live event next time.

cassandra-cash:
Monday was not a very fun day. I had a midterm for PR Theory….BRUTAL. I studied for it all weekend, and besides the essay questions, pretty much ALL of the multiple choice questions were extremely difficult. There was really no need for me to even study because it really didn’t help. But…
I am with you on that. I studied so much for PR Theory and it was pretty brutal. ...

Almost that time!
Basketball season is right around the corner. We have been training hard all summer and fall on the track and in the weight room. November 2 will mark our first scrimmage of the year. We play Cal State Long Beach at their place at 6 pm. The whole team is really excited about this because it is our first chance to showcase the talent of our new team. Also, we always get fired up anytime...

Today I met with Dr. Ballinger to discuss one of the highlights in my career as a college student: GRADUATION. I highlighted, starred, and underlined my course road map, printed out my degree in progress, brought a petition form with me, and a long list of questions. I wanted to have someone else…
I love Ballinger! I met with her to do the same. She is such a great...

Pumpkin Muffins
I have been taking advantage of the start of fall by using lots of pumpkin for different recipes. It’s tough pretending its fall in this hot weather, but I am doing my best. My mom always made pumpkin soup when I was younger. I think it is our closest thing to a traditional food, so I thought pumpkin was a usual ingredient. Since I’ve been baking with pumpkin often I started to talk to my...

Preseason workouts
Preseason workouts are finally over! Monday will begin the first day of official practice for the 2012-2013 season.
Conditioning and weight training began two weeks before the start of school. Workouts on Mondays and Wednesdays were conditioning and weight lifting. The conditioning ranged from running a timed mile to relay sprints. The weight lifting was usually a prehab workout, free...

Finally got them out!! Yesterday was the big day! I am relieved its over with after going to the dentist so many times. They made me go to the dentist at least 5 times this month doing checkups and what not, before I could actually get them out. It was a real pain, especially because my…

Pinterest!
I have been hearing people talk about Pinterest for quite a while now. I never was exactly sure how it worked or what the website was about. I started to hear people asking others, “Did you get that from Pinterest?” Another popular thing that seemed to be stemming from this was “Pinterest Parties”. I finally got some free time and decided to check this out for myself.
I absolutely love the...

I have to say that this Summer definitely flew right by! It felt like June was just a few short days ago. Work, summer school, definitely also made everything fly on by. It was really amazing though to have a 2 week break and spend it in NorCal with my girlfriend this past Summer. We…

Move In Time!
Move-In time
This is the second year I have lived in Cal Poly Housing. Last year I lived in the suites in one of the new buildings. The price is extremely steep, around $11,000 a year. Also, you were forced to buy a meal plan that at minimum cost $700. The meal points would have been very useful if the products that were sold wouldn’t have been marked up three times the price. A box of cereal was...

Housing
I can’t believe that this year is already coming to a close. I still remember moving all my things into the suites and wondering what it was going to be like living at Cal Poly. Now it’s time for the last round of finals and then moving out.
I loved living in the suites this year, because they’re so nice and convenient. However, I think they were made in such a rush that they won’t hold up...

CPP COM300: Lost In Translation: no more energy... →
I agree about the energy drinks! I was helping put on Com Day and there were so many tempting energy drinks there, but I couldn’t bring myself to drink one. They make me so hyper and shakey. I have no idea how people drink those on a regular basis.

This quarter I was a member of the special events planning class that put on the annual Com Day. After 8 weeks of planning it all culminated in the all-day event today. I am hoping that all you communication majors out there found some time to attend. Overall I am very happy with how the event turned out.
For everyone who didn’t make it, the speakers were informative, entertaining, and...

I totally agree with you. When I moved on campus this year I was really suprised with how much random stuff I had been keeping all my life that I really didn’t need. Best of luck to your brother/friend !

Spring Olympics
Every year the athletic department gets together for the spring Olympics at Cal Poly Pomona. It brings all the athletes into face to face competition with each sport. The teams were men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and baseball, track and field, and cheer, broncettes, and band. All the athletes came out with tons of spirit and enthusiasm. Every team was...

First Round of the NBA: Fall of the Chicago Bulls
This year the Chicago Bulls were projected by many to win the championship. Led by Derrick Rose, last years NBA MVP, along with Joakim Noah and Rip Hamilton, the Bulls had the best record in the NBA this season. Not only did they come up short from expectations, they stunned the basketball world with their first round series loss. The most disturbing part of this early playoff exit is the...

Physical Therapy Week 1
This morning I returned to the same rehabilitation center I had been to countless time before. After my freshman of high school I tore my left ACL and had reconstructive knee surgery. This meant 6-9 months of intensive rehab at this place. Three times a week I would make the drive from Chino Hills to Orange County, where the gym was located. I worked through the program and bonded with the staff...

As my teammates and I approach the last series of our regular season, its difficult to say “It’s just another game.”
We’ve played this game our entire lives, and played the game right. You should be rewarded for doing things correctly, right? Well this game doesn’t owe us a damn thing. When we…
Leisure reading
My recent knee surgery has left me with limited number of things I can do during my free time. I have to spend the majority of my day lying down with my leg elevated and wrapped in ice. This has led me back to my love for reading. One of my favorite novels/movies is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. His books have inspired, The Last Song, Dear John, The Vow, etc. I love all these movies and...

Baby Shower
Before this school year started Coach Bishop gathered the team up to make an announcement in the conference room. She was pregnant! Everyone was excited since the team was so family oriented. We watched Coach B go through every stage of the pregnancy throughout our season. This was the first time many of us had been around someone from the very beginning up until the very end. So, it was only...

This really made me laugh! You are so right about people going too far. I am all for fun designs and glitter, but when your nails stop you from doing things then it’s a problem! Plus aren’t all those jewels/whatever else heavy?

Unknown Recovery Time
My last blog entry focused on Jacki Gemelos and her struggle to stay healthy. This is something I can completely relate with since I have torn both of my A.C.L.’s. It has become so common place in women’s basketball. We have a total of 4 reconstructed knees just within our women’s team here at Cal Poly Pomona. If you were to Google anything along the lines of “acl women’s basketball” you would...

Sports Injuries- How far is too far?
College athletes are expected to give their best through literary, blood, sweat, and tears. To anyone who has played college sports, you know what it means to give everything to your sport. Play through pain. Play through sickness. Play through injury. But how far is too far? Female athletes are said to be 8 times more likely to tear their ACL’s (anterior cruciate ligament) than men. This...

I totally agree with all this! I can’t believe how expensive college textbooks are. I hate when professors are fully aware they don’t plan on using the book and yet lecture the class to purchase it. Every quarter there’s at least one book I never need to open. It’s even worse when your professor is the author of the text book and you know that huge mark up is going...

Surviving Spring
The thought of Spring usually brings to mind images of sunny days, fields of flowers, and carefree living—to everyone but a member of the women’s basketball team. We tend to think of spring as ice baths, blisters, and exhaustion. We chased a national championship for 6 months and came up short. This week we have returned to ground zero to get stronger, quicker, and tougher for next season.
