week 2

Hello!!

I enjoyed the meeting we had on Monday at UT San Diego. Again, I could feel how all of us, both USD students and UT San Diego workers, were very excited with the project and had everything well prepared. I liked the presentation about the San Diego market. I’m sure it helped us understand the characteristics and major trends of people in San Diego. This will be of great help when doing our project but also as a general knowledge to better understand the city in which we live.

The training today was also great! I enjoyed it a lot. Especially because they combined lectures with interactive activities that kept us all focused, having fun and learning at the same time. I was lucky to do an activity within a group composed of some USD students and some UT San Diego workers. Getting to work with them, understanding how they think, building up on their proposals, and preparing a presentation with them was very enriching. I must also say that they were all very nice with us and treated us as if we were at their level, asking us for our opinions and taking into consideration all of our proposals.

With respect to the event, I think that doing it off campus around the beach would be great. We will definitely attract more people from other universities if we do it there and the landscape is very pretty and very “San Diego”. I know of a place called “Fiesta Island” in mission bay where USD organized a bonfire some days ago. I couldn’t go but they told me that the place was nice so maybe we could also check it.

I’m looking forward to next week!!
