Clairemont Times: Farewell, San Diego

Image
When I decided to do a road trip seven months ago from Boston to San Diego, I had no idea what to expect. I had studied abroad in Italy for a semester in college, so I anticipated what it would be like living in a drastically different place. However, unlike my experience in Italy, this was not an organized program with students my age. I was not in college anymore, and I knew it would be different. I had no job. I had no apartment. I had never even been to California, let alone San Diego. Besides traveling to San Diego with my friend from my hometown and knowing a couple of older kids who had graduated from my high school, everything else was foreign to me. I wrote a piece for the Clairemont Times when I first arrived describing a sense of culture shock. In other words, I could not believe that was I here. The palm trees. The Mexican influence. The beach and outdoor culture. All of it was and still is, surreal. As I now leave San Diego and head back to Bos

The Clairemont Times: SDSU Defeats USD in a Hostile Environment

Image
It was a packed house at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on Thursday, November 31 st for the college basketball game between the University of San Diego and San Diego State. The USD students came out in full force to watch their team take on the mighty Aztecs. Holding Ron Burgundy and Nicholas Cage fat heads and screaming all game long, the student section was rowdy from the beginning. Entering the game, the Toreros were attempting to win their sixth game in a row, while the Aztecs were looking to rebound after a loss to Washington State. From the tip, SDSU point guard Devin Watson controlled the pace of the game.   He was relentless, attacking the paint at will as well as shooting from the outside. After a couple of early layups by Watson, the quick point guard then hit a 3-pointer with 10:32 remaining in the first half to put SDSU ahead 16-8. Around this time period, SDSU Coach Brian Dutcher elected to go zone, and it made a big difference. The Aztec’s l
