My first week of school was low-key but busy and informative. Even though it was mostly just housekeeping (i.e. accommodating crashers, course overviews and syllabi) I had to get used to the new schedule, which has me running back and forth between work and school multiple times a day. I'm enjoying the change of scenery during the day however; like I said before, it's really nice to be outdoors again on campus during the day instead of the late night classes I've gotten so used to the last few years.

So after a long Vegas weekend, it's good to be home and get back to routine again. Even though it was in the party capital of the world, it was actually very relaxing thanks to the spa in our suite at the Luxor. It was Garrett's first time, so we did a lot of walking around the strip, mostly to just get a lay of the land. It sounds like there will be multiple trips to Nevada this year, so it will be even better when we're all 21.

First thing's first: this was a crazy winter break full of non-stop partying and other indulgences. It may have gotten a little out of hand at times, but I hope there are no regrets. For anyone. I'm not exactly sure how it even started, but I think it was just one giant release from the intense Fall semester. That's NOT to say that Fall was not the best time of 2008, maybe even my life.

Just a quick update before my big blog:

First day of classes is Thursday (kind of odd), then trip to Vegas on Friday. Should be fun. After that, Winter Break 2008-2009 is over. Thank God.

GRAN TORINO IS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!
12 January 2009
The last two Saturdays we've had a hotel party downtown. It's things like this I find myself doing more of in 2009, which is so refreshing. I've always been about random, spur of the moment craziness, but it seems like there are more people to share it with these days. Sure it's expensive and maybe even impractical, but look at the benefits. It's a new environment instead of the routine spots and it keeps us safe because no one has to drive after and risk getting pulled over or hurting someone/themselves in an accident. Good times all around.

December 31st, 2008: To start the night and finish 2008, we started with hopes of a pre-game at SDBC. After driving all the way out there to find that they were closed, we grabbed some Pyramid Hefeweizen and Coors and golfed at my house instead. I guess I pushed it a little too far and my dad got a little annoyed with all the beer and people in my room, but it was cool. Consider it the last time in 2008. Although we hadn't been there in a while, Josh's was really fun too. All the fancy decorations and moderate drinking made the final moments of 2008 so memorable.

Christmas this year seemed laid back and exhausting at the same time. Maybe it was because I was still recovering from finals, or maybe it was due to the rainy weather. Regardless, there was just so much going on and flew by in a flash.

Wow, it's been a long time since I updated my blog. So much has happened since the last real post and there's a lot to say, but I'll try and keep it as short as possible.

Finally, the final final. And it's Finance, 323 to be specific. Since last night, I've been focused solely on this exam and nothing else in my life.
I need this to be my best one, and I'm riding the trolley to SDSU for the last time this year confident that it will be. I've noticed that the tests you actually look forward to taking are the ones you are most prepared for. And I cannot WAIT to take this thing.
My head is just laughing at my heart and saying "I told you so"...

I just finished the Chapter 8 cheat sheet for FIN 323. Still have to do Chapter 10. Flashcards for IDS 483 and IDS 306 are done. I should get started in IDS 302 and maybe MGT 350.

I think I'll keep this one short since we took it pretty easy this weekend. Everyone is busy preparing for finals, Christmas shopping, or just in anticipation of all the fun we're going to have during winter break.

I think I'll layout my situation and strategy for December 4th thru December 18th. Here it is:

I'm just sitting here listening to Wilco and, you know, I hope in another few years I'm not the same person I am today. I want to be completely different, more calm, less wide-eyed. I don't really think I can stop that from happening anyway, but it will be really beneficial. Strangely, I feel very at peace today.
For the next two weeks though, I need to really focus on school and avoid, or at least put-off for a while, any emotional baggage I'm carrying. There will be time for that, but I HAVE to get stuff done. And so do YOU ;)

As many people know, it's been a wild last few days during the Thanksgiving holiday. Here's what went down:

Looks like we drank little or no alcohol this weekend and still had a blast. Here's what we did:

No doubt I just destroyed that midterm and got the score I'll so desperately need at the end of the semester. Feelin' dandy!
