Purchase Orders...Tasks for Paola

Paola gave me some tasks that involved "purchase orders"...I had no idea what a purchase order was...so I asked some of the fellow PASS staff...and they told me. Bu tthe funny thing was that when I asked Jamba Juice if they take purchase orders, none of the workers or even the manager knew what a purchase order was...so I thought that was funny...thats it

Prop 209 meeting!!

I really enjoyed the PROP 209 meeting. It was very informative and inspiring. Im really excited in it also because Im going to still be in berkley when everything hits and I was inspired to somehow go out and get the word out...or just simply talk about race outside the classroom.

Call OUTS!!!!!

So Paola taught me how to do call outs like two weeks ago...then she gave me a list of schools to call and I was kinda scared but I got used to it. I felt kin of intimidated because I felt like I dint have all the info. that I needed to know. I was scared that the career counselors would ask me questions and I would be stuck. But overall, I ended up doing ok. I contacted 5 schools and got 1 or 2 call backs from the messages I left. call outs arent as bad.

Intern Run Meeting!!!!

We finally did it!!ITS ALL OVER!!!!Naw...it was fun...not as stressful..get it...get it... it was also very informative. I think that us interns did also a good job...but the one thing was that I didnt like the chocolate covered strawberries...only becuase I don't like chocolate...if they were white chocolate covered...the meeting would have been the best meeting I have ever been to...But yeah..overall...i think us interns had fun and enjoyed doing the meeting

Intern Run Meeting Prop Making Day!!!

Today...me and a couple other interns made th eprops for the intern run meeting...I had fun painting and cutting with a razor...however it was late at night and I was also very very very tired...but it was pretty cool...and I think we did a darn good job in being creative and productive...thats it

Shadow Training Day

Today was a very nice day!! It was nice and sunny out..a good day for shadow training day. We had some good ice breakers today , they were fun. I liked the "hot, cold" game...but yeah. Thankyou to the PASS staff members who brought the food. Us interns brought a lot home. It saved some of our meal points. Overall, I think that the training was useful in that I leanred how to tour people around. oh yeah, Vaughns speech about the whole Prop (something) in 2008 made me and some other interns also excited. Thats one of the reasons that we chose to go to CAL. We wanted to make a difference somehow. Anyways, Shadow traing day was very informative and fun as well. Have a nice day!!

FED Planning

FED planning went pretty well. As a first year intern, it was a new experience. I intern for Paola for Recruitment. We met up with Stanford and UC Davis and we decided on some things for the Family Education Day. I'm part of the publicity/publication committee and I have no idea what I'm doing but its ok I guess. We have another meeting in about three weeks and hopefully we decide on some more ideas for publicizing. But other than that, waiting for the other schools to show up and playing the card game where "we can't speak of the rules" with vaughn, patrick, jonathan, and aaron was fun, and torturing for first-years like me. ok thats it. Have a nice day!!

PASS/Intern Gathering

Well hello,
I just wanted to say thank you to the PASS staff members for cooking for everyone. I really appreciate the home cooked meals that I have longed for since I left CARSON!!!!! yup yup. Anyways..I was one of the few late arrivals and I would also like to apologize for making the Staff wait. I know that you were very hungry. But ok, ummmm...Mafia was pretty fun...damn Rannel for killing everyone. Thanks again. It was fun.
