Kayci Lydeen: The end of week 7 →
kaycilydeen:
I can’t believe it’s already the end of week seven. It seems like the quarter went by so fast. All the stress at the beginning of the quarter has been slightly forgotten and all of those test are out of the way. Now I just have to look forward to the end of the quarter and start my last end of the…
Yep, this quarter definitely flew by!

Weird.
Some people do some really odd and interesting things that are hard to explain. Friday morning 45-year-old Keith Kinds of West Hartford, Conn. Stole a car used to deliver Chinese food and continued to drop off the orders to keep the customers’ money. Nobody noticed anything suspicious until the driver of the delivery vehicle called police to let them know his vehicle got stolen when he left it...

When it comes to motorcycle road racing, or any type of racing for that matter, there is only goal. That goal? To get around the track faster than anyone else. Sounds pretty simple and straight forward right? The…

Onto the next..
So for many of you that know me outside of school you would know that I have a love affair with cars. I design, build, show them and also track my cars. One of my project cars was unfortunately totaled Tuesday night in Huntington Beach. Long story short, my girlfriend was driving and an unlicensed driver hit her going full speed as she was stopped in traffic. Fortunately she is just achy but the...

Princess Trista: Field Assignment one... CHECK! →
tristademuth:
I just finished writing my field assignment! Now that calls for a celebration! Just kidding… but I am pretty relieved to check that off my list. Even though it’s done I am going to wait at least until tomorrow to turn it in. I have learned throughout my past experience for reporting one as well…
Sounds like you put a lot of effort into your assignment! Hopefully you end up...

Use of Social Media
For my first field assignment in Reporting II I choose to write it on the topic of the various issues the iPhone 5 have been having. The idea of this story really came across when I personally received my own iPhone 5 on release date back in September and I started having problems with the anodized bezel down to the very troublesome Apple Maps. I actually coincidentally got inspiration to write...
Princess Trista: Super weird... but I love my job! →
That’s really good you like your job! When you like your job essentially it’s not even like you’re at work and it makes time go by much quicker!
tristademuth:
I find it very rare to meet people who can actually say without a doubt that they love their job, especially at such a young age. I feel so fortunate to have a job that not only pays really well, but also bring me so...

SEMA - Vegas
So next week I’ll be back and forth from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. I’m always excited this time of the year, and well also in January because of CES. Next week is going to be the SEMA show. For those reading this in the same industry (automotive) it’s like the week of being inside of a candy store. SEMA stands for Specialty Equipment Market Association. It’s a show that takes place every year at...
Cassie Cash: Week 4: Everyone’s Getting Married →
I totally feel the same way. A lot of my friend’s have been getting engaged or getting married. Time seems like it’s just flying right on by!
cassandra-cash:
I don’t know what is in the air, but I swear it feels like everyone I know is either getting engaged or married. I mean, I am 23 now and I understand that this is the time when most people start doing that whole engagement...

Weekend.
I’ve been developing a habit of blogging on here about my weekend lately. I think this week I’ll be doing the same. Although it’s only Sunday my weekend has already been pretty adventurous. Typically now with how my schedule is my weekend starts pretty much on Friday now. Friday I decided to take my girlfriend out on a day out, we went to the typical spots and then we went out to...
Bear D'Egidio: NPPL VEGAS x 2012 NPPL Season →
Good luck with the rest of the season Bear.
bearscup:
The 2012 NPPL season is officially over. I just got back into town last night from Vegas after an amazing weekend, however we did not perform as well as we thought we were it was still an exciting event.
The season started off with Giant HK formerly known as Giant Sportz Factory playing HB NPPL….

Moonridge/Big Bear
My last Tumblr post I talked about how I was looking forward to heading up to Big Bear with a group of friends. I find it appropriate that I actually talk about how memorable of a weekend I had. This weekend was just filled with good friends and the passion we share for cars. We all met Friday morning bright and early with the rest of the group from Los Angeles to cruise up to Big Bear and we...

Your mission sure sounded intense, hopefully it was all well worth it in the end though!

As I sit down to write this blog, I can feel how raw my feet are as they throb in a steady beat. During my walk from the top of the hill where the Lyle Center is located, over to the main campus, my turquoise fashionable Steve madden sandals (that I actually only paid $10 for @ Ross) just...

Cassie Cash: Jackson Hole, Wyoming →
Looks like we both had eventful summers and go traveling a lot. It’s cool to see what’s outside our own communities yet it’s unfortunate that so many people travel or even stop foot out of California or even the country. When I get the chance I definitely would want to see the world one day.

So, last quarter I pretty much wrote my blogs on my eventful...

NorCal.
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 frequently travel whenever whenever we have breaks as she’s a student at Art Center in Pasadena. Last break...

gutierrezsm:
Finals are around the corner—are you ready? …No, I will not be talking about finals since they are the last thing I want to be cluttering my mind on a day off, and I will probably spend the weekend cramming. Can you believe we’re almost done for the quarter? I am just so ready for everything…

Life.
I assume that this will be our last blog entry on Tumblr this week correct me if I’m wrong. This quarter literally flew on by, we’re already at week 10 and next week is finals. It’s kind of crazy to think that in no time I’ll be graduating and moving onto bigger and better things in life. I’m still trying to figure out my summer plans, I don’t think I will be working this Summer and I’ll give...

So for memorial weekend, I am going with my best friend and my whole family to our place at the River. We have a place, on the water in Needles, Arizona, which is about 25 minutes from Laughlin. I am really excited as this is our first river trip of the year. My grandparents bought the property 40…

Well, I noticed a lot of you guys post about your weekends on Tumblr all the time so I figured I talk about my past weekend! This past weekend was filled with a lot of good times with old friend’s and making new ones. On my previous blogs I’ve talked about how I show a few of my cars at various auto shows/cars shows in our area and also various shows in the nation. This past weekend was the...

I love the connection you have with your family. Family is everything for me as well, happy birthday to him!

Socrates
I don’t want to get all philosophical this week with my blog but every time I hear Socrates quote, “As for me, all I know is that I know nothing” makes me realize how great of a quote it is to live by. Some of you may be reading this and thinking, well that means if I know nothing then this means Socrates wants me to be stupid. What this means is that you shouldn’t always going into every...

These Weeks
This current quarter has been really just flying by. I remember the first day of this course we were asked to make a Tumblr and I read a few entries from other people saying how they couldn’t believed how quickly their past quarter went. It honestly feels the same. It was last week when someone in my other class asked what week we were in and someone said we were in the sixth week, which is crazy...

Yeah, midterms aren’t the business but when you’re done and you know you did a good job it’s all worth it!

LA will always be a part of me but Vancouver, Canada is my second home. This past Sunday a good friend of mine who resides in Vancouver informed me he picked up two more cars to his collection of multiple exotics and he wanted to put something flashy yet drivable together. In my past post many of you may recall me talking about my interests with cars and building show cars. This newest addition...

Dedication.
It takes a lot motivation to become dedicated to something to be able to reach your goal. Some people make sacrifices to be able to reach their goals and some devote their entire lives to it. About two years ago I realized that I had to lose weight, and a lot of it. Being 18 and pushing the scale at nearly 255 pounds made my BMI fall into a morbidly obese category. It hindered a lot of things I...
