A lot to talk about over the past week or so since I arrived back in Buffalo, but not enough energy to actually say it.
My flight was originally delayed along with the power being out at the Buffao Niagara Airport when I arrived -- not a good sign. My cross country enthusiast roommate Dave was there to pick me up in his new Ford Ranger, and I headed back to Tower 2 (my place of residence for the year) with just a couple bags, and the rest of my worldly possessions set to arrive on Saturday. Had a good first day (and night) back.
Had a great time Friday, saw James (and his new Cobalt) and Adam, with their new snazzy apartment. They let me stay the night, after we saw two movies (The Brothers Grimm --- not fantastic, but much much better than the [i] Aliens[/i] rip off "The Cave" which was so dreadful that it left the possibility for a sequel open. Let's hope that doesn't happen.
Saw my parents Saturday, and after thanking them graciously, proceeded to set up my room for approximately 30 minutes before heading off to Fallsview Casino up in Canada, eh. James won about $250 via the blackjack and slot machines, while Adam took home around 200 through blackjack as well. I had a good night -- a few gin and tonics and a few Coronas, along with a net profit at the end of the night. One of the few times all of us will walk out of a casino in the green.
There's a chance I may head back this weekend to Casino Niagara, in hopes of accessing the poker room (Fallsview's minimum was 6/12 limit and 5/5 no limit. I almost played at the NL tables, but the blinds were too much for me at that point.
My classes are looking to be much more difficult than last semester's. My main Social Work class is going to run me up 40 hours of volunteer work needed to pass the course, which isn't a problem except for finding a place to do it. My good friend Bequi (becky with a Q) might give me a ride and help out herself depending on where I volunteer at.
My once-a-week American History class is long and drains my laptop battery pretty bad, but it doesn't seem too tough. The exams are focused mainly on essays, and since I'm already apt with American History knowledge, I should do OK.
My Dance Appreciation class is hilarious cause I have a bunch of friends in it, and the woman teaching it is kind of eccentric about "her art."
I'm taking a Modern Logic class as well -- it's kind of complicated so far -- actually, no, what's more complicated is what he exactly wants us to do for assignments.
I don't have a job yet, and it doesn't look like I'll have one, so I'll have to earn my money the more dangerous, fun, and Kevin-esque way -- through poker.
I'll have some pictures sometime next week.
