I'm Back!

August 29, 2006 1:21 AM

he recent lack of posts has been due to a amazing amount of stuff to do in the past few days. Here's a recap.

Thursday night (my birthday), I went to a poker tournament at my cousin Noel's friend's place. The buy-in was $30, and I went out pretty quickly, although not as quickly as this other guy at my table who lost all his chips on the first hand. It's alright, though - in the cash game that followed, I made about $50.

Friday, we had a get together at my cousin Gloria's new house. The house is really nice. Most of the time was spent sitting around paying an incredible amount of attention to Gloria's daughter Mia (pictures forthcoming). Mia is, basically, the cutest, most adorable, smartest baby ever. I love her.

Saturday was my mom's birthday. We went out to breakfast at this nice place in Alhambra. I think my mom had a good time. Later on Saturday, I had to drive to San Bernadino for my friend Punk's wedding.

The wedding was fun, and I got to see my friend Mark, which was also fun. Punk wore a green wedding dress and the groom and groomsmen wore kilts. It was pretty nice. I'll post pictures of that soon.

Sunday, I woke up at 12:30 (after going to bed at about 5:30am) (all times Central), drove back to LA, hung out with my family for a while, and then went to LAX. I got there at 4:30 for a flight that was supposed to leave at 6:40. We boarded the plane at about 6:10, then sat on the plane for an hour or more while they tried to fix some problem with the navigation. After all that time, they decided that they couldn't fix the problem, so they moved us to a different plane. We finally took off at about 8:40, two hours late.

I got to Chicago sometime after midnight. I took a taxi to my car, and then drove straight to Madison. I got in my door at about 3:30. My cats were overjoyed.

This morning, I woke up at about 9:30 and headed to the school to work on Law Review stuff (the orientation for the new members is tomorrow). Now it's 1:36am and I just got home from the school. I've been working on Law Review stuff this whole time, and only left the Law Review office for a few minutes throughout the day. Man, what have I gotten myself into?

Anyway, I'm super-excited for the orientation tomorrow - I can't wait to meet the new members. Right now, though, it's time to go to sleep.

Oh, and I already kinda miss my family.
