A Visit From a Friend
I am still desperately trying to play catch-up from my time off from writing in my journal. From March 14th to the 18th, Brad came into town. I was very excited to see him and give him an opportunity to check out my life here in Boulder. We went on a hike up in the flatirons and we went skiing in Vail.
Brad and I began to talk about summer plans and that is when I really realized that summer is coming up and I don’t have any plans. Most of my good friends from home are going to be all over the place this summer. Mike is going to be here in Boulder, Eric will be in Chicago/Highland Park, Brad will be in Madison, Danny could be anywhere from Vegas to Chicago to Boulder to well… anywhere. So, going home to see all of my friends really isn’t going to work. My current idea is a tour of cool places. Dividing up my summer into three potentially four places. My summer is from May 12th to August 28th. By my count that gives me 108 days. The closest thing that I have to a plan is that I want to go to Vegas with Cachaulo from when he graduates to when he has to be back for summer classes. That sounds funny, but they are letting him graduate with one class left as long as he takes it in the summer. That will probably take me to somewhere in the beginning/middle of June. At that point I think I will come back to Chicago to reload, because Vegas can be quite exhausting. From their on I am pretty open. Knowing that I can make a decent hourly wage from anywhere in the country playing poker online is a very freeing feeling. That way I can play poker from pretty much wherever I find myself.
To prevent myself from pissing away my entire summer watching movies or something like that I am going to set a goals for myself. Seeing as I don’t want to do that right now I will start with some easy ones. I want to set a goal for where my bank account is at the end of the summer. I also want to set a schedule for my summer. I will make both of those due by April 20th. In my next entry I will try to recreate my awesome spring break.
