More Winter Break

Well, it's now my last week in LA before heading to NY on Saturday for the Warsaw Center NY trip for 2nd year MBAs . Winter break started off really slow at first with the days dragging on but ever since going to Vegas baby Vegas, things have really gone by fast and I'm starting to realize that it's back to reality, that being school, really soon.

Vegas was great, especially since Cal beat BYU in the Vegas Bowl and I ended up about $100 on top from the craps tables. The tables were pretty friendly to me, especially when playing with Conor and his dad. They're my craps table inspiration. The Dr. and the Dolla-Yo were also there in full force. I also met up with Dennis, Jacqui, and James. I think I unleashed a monster when I coerced Jacqui to start playing a little craps. In the end, she won $74 and wagered very little. Also randomly ran into Carrie at the game, who just so happened so sit in my section. It's so random when I bump into Carrie. Last time I saw her was at Oakland Airport a few years ago.
Unfortunately, the sportsbook wasn't so friendly and I missed out on my parlays (damn Oregon and Western Michigan couldn't cover). Anyways, it was great hanging out with Jenny and her sister, Rose, especially Jenny's driving in the Sam Boyd Stadium parking lot.

To continue my bowl season, my buddy Paul and I went down to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl between Oregon and Oklahoma. I hoped to erase the nightmares of last year's Cal loss to Texas Tech. Paul and I stopped off at Fred's in Pacific Beach before the the game and enjoyed the scenery and food in PB. Too bad it wasn't summer but it was still nice. Once we got the Jack Murphy, I met up with Dave, from the Warriors, and Doug, who now works for the Chargers. It was great seeing those guys. As for the game, Oregon didn't do much and was inconsistent and lucky to still be in it before Brady Leaf's interception to end any final hopes.

Not sure what I'm gonna do the rest of the week but I'll most likely just hang out with friends and eat at more of my favorite places. Also, Happy New Year!
