SPRING TRAINING!

Hello everyone! Well I didn't get the chance to indulge in spring break. When it is your last semester as a tourism student, you have to partake in an intense internship. It consists of forty hour weeks and a lot of writing for the internship class. In turn, you don't have to attend any classes, because it is a 12 credit class. Springbreak is just another week of work for me, so I didn't get to enjoy it as many students do. I love my internship so it makes up for that! I do get to enjoy one thing this time of year and that is spring training! I am sure you gathered I am a Cubs fan by this point! Although we have waited a good 95 years for a championship, I feel our time will come! I was able to relax last Friday and watch them play the Angels. Everyone deserves some down time, and what better way then to enjoy 80 degree weather in March and watch your favorite baseball team play and lose! I have been working intensely with this internship, and have been working numerous events. I worked one yesterday at an Arabian horse stable in Carefree, Az. It was quite the commute! It was absolutely beautiful. We assisted the clients on to the buses at the Boulders Resort and to the horse stable. They enjoyed a beautiful Arabian set up dinner outside, and were able to watch a horse show. It was gorgeous to say the least! It was a long night and a long drive, but well worth it. It is nice to see different event venues and get acquainted with Arizona. Since I am from Chicago, it can get confusing at times and I am still learning where everything is after four years! I love doing events at the different resorts, because it is like a mini vacation for me! It is home away from home, so to speak!
