Why is this time so busy????



Hey all, I know it’s been a while since I last connected with you but like Jeremy, this has been a crazy-busy time for me. Where to start is the question?

On the athletic front, our Men’s Basketball team recently fell to California State University, East Bay and was knocked out of the Cal Pac tournament. The Women’s Basketball team is ranked third in Cal Pac and will face 7th seed CSU Maritime in the Cal Pac tournament tonight. Good luck ladies!!! Men’s Lacrosse had an emotional weekend. They played University of the Pacific last Saturday and played amazingly well, final score was 21-0 Dominican. Monday they faced-off against Santa Clara University and sadly lost 13-1. This weekend Lacrosse is in action against Southern Oregon University at home. The Men’s and Women’s Golf teams first tournament of the season was postponed due to weather and they just finished up another tournament today. Haven’t received word yet on how they did. This past weekend, Women’s Softball took 1st place at the Patten Tournament. Like Lacrosse, the Softball team is also in action this weekend against CSU East Bay. Last but not least, the Women’s Tennis team has been off to a rough start this season; dropping two games and being rained out once.

Within student life, Penguin Ball has been the buzz on campus. For the last couple of years, Penguin Ball has been hosted at the Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. This year, student government (ASDU) has decided to “step their game-up” and move the event into “the City.” Penguin Ball this year will be at the magnificent Regency Center in beautiful San Francisco April 20. The event will definitely be one to please and ASDU is making sure that they make the most of the new venue.

Other then Penguin Ball, ASDU has two concerts planed for March. The Rock Four Relief that will feature rock band, TheCityDrive and other bands and a hip-hop concert featuring Raz B, known from B2K fame. Both events are expected to draw huge crowds and ignite the students’ demand for concerts on-campus.

On a personal note this has been a busy time for me. Besides classes, I have been working on my FASFA. You guys already know about that painful, long piece of financial paperwork; I hate it but you got to do it to get that free money from the state and so your school knows how much financial aid to award you. Beside the FASFA, I have to take care of my taxes too. Taking care of both of those on your own can be a hassle and really take up lots of time.

Well, that’s all for now. Got to get ready to go to Rock ‘N’ Bowl. The event was such a big hit last semester that we are doing it again and lucky enough tonight is the night.

To those of you that have been admitted, congrats!!!! Hopefully you’re coming to the Admitted Student Open House this weekend! I’ll see you there!

Stay Cool and Lets Go Penguins
