You're Running After Something That You'll Never Kill

Currently Playing: My Chemical Romance - Thank You for the Venom

Happy New Year everybody.

Winter break is over. Classes are starting once again. Everything will soon become routine. But more on that later.

My winter break was supposed to be three weeks long, but I only ended up being home for 5 days. The first week of break I stayed in San Diego to work my last few days at the Bookstore. I got home only to leave for Las Vegas for four days. I got home from the Vegas only to leave again for Vegas for another four days to get back right in time for New Years.

My first trip to Vegas was with my family. We stayed in the Rio, which is known for its all-suite rooms and Voted-Best-in-Vegas Carnival Buffet. I've been there a few times before, and I would without a doubt recommend it. They have so many different types of food there that it is nearly impossible to try out everything they offer. This time did not disappoint. My family and I were there for two and a half hours and I could not move afterwards.

My second trip to Vegas was with John, Grace, Arya, and Robby. John's parents had three villas (equipped with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and widescreen T.V. with a DVD player) at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club and kindly allowed us to stay in one of the rooms. Things of note from the trip were the Ghost Bar at the Palms Hotel and Casino (owned by the Maloof brothers), the sports books (where I lost a grand total of $2), the oven-baked pizzas, playing poker while drunk and sober (losing $90 in the process), and driving through fog and rain so dense that I couldn't see ten feet in front of me on the way back home. Good times.

And I wrote all of this in my first class of the quarter. What a way to start off.

Randomness: "400!!"
