Roger's Rib Shack Coming soon to the Daily Sundial Menu Guide!

Made my first sale today! Helped Roger's Rib Shack get a half page ad for the upcoming Menu Guide in the Daily Sundial. The Menu Guide comes out September 29th and will feature some great places to eat near CSUN! Look for Roger's Ad cause he said he'll probably be giving 15% off for CSUN students. The Menu Guide will be an insert in the Thursday paper Aug. 29th as well as being available year round on the stands, at the Sundial Office and at www.dailysundial.com

First Ad Consultation at the Daily Sundial

Had my first advertisement consultation today for my new job as a Junior Sales Rep at the Daily Sundial.  I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica the owner of Las Calaveras Mexican Restaurant. She was extremely friendly and hospitable (I tried to buy a coke from her and she insisted on giving it to me for free) and is currently considering advertising in our upcoming Menu Guide. Whether or not she ends up advertising, I definitely plan on coming back sometime to eat!

Burrito Mojado

While I do miss all the great people and friends I've made in the Antelope Valley (especially business owners on the BLVD) I'm excited to be meeting new friends here in Northridge and glad that I've found a job where I can be an assest to small business owners and the community I live in once again! Tuesday I'll be meeting with Roger's Rib Shack, wish me luck!

I'm asking for help.

Educateben.com is unique venture. I'm seeking donations from anyone, any amount. It's kind of an experiment to see if people are willing to help me get though college a little bit easier. I'll be using this site to keep people updated on how I'm doing at college, and posting thank you videos for everyone that does donate!

This is my invitation for you to be a shareholder in my education. Make yourself feel good, donate to educate Ben.

CSUN the First Year. Day 1 of Ben's Journey

Started it all of with some great gifts from friends and family. New luggage, dishes, some books and neat decorations as well as a sweet new camera to document it all with! [[posterous-content:EwJsdcEEqDhyictHmlDr]]

Then move in day! Loaded up my car and my girlfriend's car and headed down to CSUN. Moving in went pretty well. Met my roomates Nate, Ryan and Jesse. Headed back out into the world to get the rest of the supplies needed. Once all was found we stopped by the CSUN sign to get some great photos and back to the apartment to enjoy it all. [[posterous-content:koJDaGDwqbHoxxJuhzxq]]

One last stop over at the Jamba juice with Aly and Naomi and then they headed back home. Took the time to put together my new office chair (thanks Bob Turner). Then checked out the Pajama Jam with Jesse and Nate, met up with some cool people from Intervarsity and Nate and I headed tagged along to go see Super 8 at the $3 over in Simi Valley. Great Movie. Great night. Great First Day. [[posterous-content:jlatHpofftJdfnGzxfEu]]
