This week has been an astonishing mashup of wonderful events and once in a lifetime opportunities! Besides the usual time spent on homework and studying, I have had an amazing time juggling between the Phi Theta Kappa and Honors Program events!!! In particular PTK’s events took so much time out of my week, and each of them was an opportunity for learning, sharing and growing surrounded by amazing friends.
I would like to start off telling you about a fantastic event organized by my good friend and PTK VP of Leadership Michael Han Ding along with the help of the whole Phi Theta Kappa Leadership of which I am part of. The event’s name was Pondering Politics and at 5.30pm it brought to the SBCC BC Forum District Supervisor Salud Carbajal and Santa Barbara Unified School Board Advisor Monique Limón. The two politicians discussed in front of an awesome and active audience of students a varietyof different issues regarding the current politics in California and in the rest of America. Two hours flew by and it was already time to say goodbye to the two politicians. It has been an honor to have the opportunity to have them over at SBCC and have them interact directly with students!!
On Wednesday, Phi Theta Kappa collaborated with the Economics Club of Santa Barbara, the Student Senate and the Communication Honors Society to gather the greatest amount of students for the Third Presidential Debate Watch Party!!! At 6.00pm, the room PS101 was completely full with students chatting and ready to savor the last heated (and super-funny) debate between Mr. Donald Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton. I was seated next my friend and Phi Theta Kappa Vice-president Amber and we had a wonderful time in commenting, cheering and booing this astonishing debate! It was awesome sharing time with her and my other friends. Laughs and good vibes were surrounding me and I simply felt so good after this event. 
The weekend is always so filled with amazing activities and fun experiences. In particular, this Saturday was so special that I believe I could have renamed it "Bonding Day"!! In fact, I have spend such a time with both Honors Program members and Phi Theta Kappa Leaders, and we got to know each other bettie and become more comfortable with each other. First of all, I went with the Honors Program PODS and other Honors Program Members to the harbor and we Kayaked for a full hour together! We had so much fun, we laughed a lot and we even saw sea lions!! How cool is that? Right after the wild sea life experiences, Shivani and got ready to leave and herd to Carpinteria and volunteer for Habitat for Humanity with the Phi Theta Kappans! HFH organized a super-fancy fundraiser with lots of rich people called Denim and Diamonds, and our task 
was to serve wine and help with the food serving! Ok.. Maybe the explanation mark at the end of the previous sentence is not that appropriate… But I put it because while serving wine and food, PTK leaders and I were such in a great mood that night that we couldn't stop laughing! Funny things kept happening one after the other, and at the end of the night we were so tired not because of serving the tables and cleaning up after the end of the event, but because we laughed too much! |

I think that for today I have typed enough on my Mac’s keyboard… I’ll post something by the end of this week because the 2020 A Year Without War event at Soho and the Ambassadors Pumpkin Carving are coming up!!!!! And Halloween is approaching so quickly!!! Are your ready for it?!?
