College Graduate; Back Home in MT

Once again I’m slacking when it comes to blogging. So I apologize to my thousands of avid readers :) So I’m a college graduate now and I can’t even describe the feeling. I’m going back to Seward soon and I won’t have to stress out about homework. It is going to be great!

Basketball is going really good even though I am now 0-7 as a head JV coach. However, our varsity is 10-1 and still #17 in the country (new polls haven’t come out yet). I look forward to going back to Seward around New Year’s to continue with the basketball season.

Montana has been crazy busy but also really fun. I drove the 12 hours here and didn’t hit that much bad weather, which was a huge relief. Before I got home, I stopped by Best Buy to buy a laptop. I knew that I wanted the 15 inch Acer with the keypad ($500) going in. When I got there Saturday night, the only one they had left was the floor model. So I said I’d take it. I notice a few scratches on the lid, so I talked them into giving me $40 off. So I have nice, basic laptop for $460. I have no complaints so far. Also, while I’m here, I wanted to at least look hard at buying a new car as mine is becoming less and less reliable with 128,000 miles on it. So I went to our family friend’s car lot and he had some nice ones. I really like his 2007 Ford Focus SE. This car dealer is unlike any other I’ve met as he is a strong Christian guy who tries to give us a great deal. I ended up getting the $12K Focus for $7300 plus my car. It was as good a deal as I am ever going to get as it is a great time to buy a car with the state of the economy. Also, the last two nights have been fun hanging out with my old high school friends. On Monday, my friend and ex-teammate Keil had a Christmas party at his house. Then last night, a bunch of us went to Old Chicago and another bar for some drinks.

I am thinking about heading back to Seward on or before the 1st depending on what my friends here are doing for New Year’s.

I have my eye on some gold card tourneys on cake as well as the 2K points buy-in 100K guaranteed on full tilt in the upcoming week. Hopefully I have time to play them and make some free money.

Well I’m off to church to celebrate Jesus’ birth tonight and then once again in the morning. Merry Christmas to everyone! God bless!
