Shopping and Lunch

Victoria, Yemisi and I went shopping for some jackets! It does not get that cold in South Carolina so I am a little unprepared! We found the best deals at Kohl's. Of course we had to make a pit stop to Wal-mart. We can never go anywhere without also stopping to Wal-mart! Next to Wal-mart we noticed B-dubs, better known as Buffalo Wild Wings, so then we had to get lunch. I found some awesome jackets on sale, got some needed things from Wal-mart and had a great lunch. This was the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning, shopping and eating good (non-campus) food. I love all the wonderful people and I have met so far I do not even want to leave NAU anytime soon! I am definitely enjoying my experience here.

RA Late Night Snack

At 3 in the morning when RA's are on call we obviously make cookie brownies with mint ice cream! It was absolutely delicious. Brandon actually made it and I told him he has to teach me how to make it so I can share it will all my RA's back at USC. I am totally enjoying my time with all my co-workers. They are all wonderful and I could not have asked for a better staff.

First Friday Art Walk

Downtown Flagstaff does an art walk where all the art galleries open up their stores so people can go see the beautiful art work. We weren't allowed to take pictures but seeing all the art work was absolutely amazing.  Below Pictures: (1) J-flo and I downtown enjoying the art walk (2) A family playing music with hand-made musical instruments

Fox Glenn Park

The Freshmen Connections had a BBQ for all the Freshmen RA's. We went to the park and our RHD's (residence hall directors) cooked hot dogs and hamburgers for us. We also made S'mores. We had a blast as all the RA's came together and enjoyed one another's time. It was a much needed break from dealing with residents all the time. This BBQ showed me how much NAU really appreciates their RA's.

Lowell Observatory

This weekend at NAU is parents weekend! Of course, my family couldn't come for just a weekend all the way to Arizona but Mary's Uncle Greg adopted Nandi and I for the weekend. We had a blast and explored all over DTF (Downtown Flagstaff). We went to the Lowell Observatory, the home of where Pluto was discovered! It was absolutely beautiful and unknowlingly educational at the same time. We stayed so late the leader allowed us to take awesome pictures of the moon through the telescope which was pretty awesome. I never knew I would meet such amazing people here in Flagstaff, Arizona but I have to say this is not even close to the end of this wonderful experience.

Chipotle

These wonderful ladies are some of my residents here at NAU. They decided to take me on an adventure because I never went to Chipotle before. We had an amazing night together. After Chipotle, we went to McDonald's, Wendy's and Cold-stone. We went all over because everyone wanted different kinds of ice cream. Afterwards, we decided to take a trip to Wal-Mart. I can say we walked all of our food off walking from place to place all over Flagstaff enjoying one another's company!

-Ti'a loving each and every one of her residents, until next time
