Month in Review

I can’t believe its been a month since I last posted but it has been. I have a lot of good news to report. I am in my last week of student teaching and then I am a college graduate. Also, our basketball team is an incredible 9-1 beating every team we have played this year. We bounced back and beat St. Mary’s pretty handily at home after our 2 point loss to them. We are now 3-0 in conference and ranked #17 in NAIA II after beating the formally #10 team in the country on Saturday. On a sad note, I am 0-5 as a JV head coach, but oh well. I’m just glad that our varsity team is doing extremely well.

Leah and I had a good run in 2 on 2 volleyball. We lost in the semifinals in a close fought 3-setter to an ex-volleyball player and a 6’8 football player. Playing 2 on 2 volleyball with Leah was so fun though I can’t even explain. We just started dodgeball (6 on 6) as we try to avenge our loss in the championship match last year. We are 4-0 without losing a game much less a match (best 3 games out of 5) so far. Hopefully we roll this week and win it all.

On a sad note, my computer has broke on me and I don’t think I am going to be able to fix it. So for the last two weeks, I have been “renting” a computer from Walmart that I am going to take back tomorrow because I have 15 days to return it. I’ll probably have to buy another computer in Montana where there is no sales tax. So, I need a new computer, a new car, and have to start paying off student loans when I graduate in a week. Money is kind of stressing me out right now for the first time since my freshman year of college. But I am not complaining as I have it really really good for a guy about to graduate college!

I have actually been playing some weekend poker! Brandon will be happy to hear this. Over Thanksgiving weekend, Cake poker did a promotion where they were giving out 4 times as many gold cards during ring games. So I started grinding 4-6 tables of 3/6 limit cash games last weekend and this weekend and I guess I have it back. The money has rolled in pretty well and the last two weekends and I made 140 gold cards and over 50 gold chips that can be used for tourney buyins. So that’s my poker news. Thank you rental computer!

I’m excited to go home to Montana next week to see my family and enjoy Christmas with them! Hopefully my car makes it there!

Alright, time to win another dodgeball game.
