Pro Tour Qualifier

I've managed to unpack most of my things and I am enjoying living on my own.

I had training for two days at work last week, so that was a nice break from work. Tony, an old, funny Chinese guy and one of my mentors at work wants me to go snowboarding with him and a bunch of my coworkers on my team, but I told him maybe next year. I've gone snowboarding and skiing before, but with my experience it was never fun for me. Sure, I probably didn't like it because I was new and fell a lot... but it's also just too cold and dangerous for me to consider it fun. I want to like it, so maybe next year. Besides, it's pretty expensive to get all of the right gear that i would need.

Friday night I went to a coworker's house to hang out. He had a bunch of us over and we listened to music, played some Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox, and drank a little. After a while my coworker's left execpt for Drew and myself. Then it got a little awkward as other people came over that we didn't know. They all looked 17 or 18 but claimed to be 20. I don't know why but I didn't leave until after 1 am...

Saturday I got up real early to go to the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour Qualifier. There were about 280 players all competing for the one Pro Tour ticket to San Diego and lots of prizes. Each player recieved 6 booster packs to make a deck out of, and it was Swiss pairing all the way. My card pool was very strong, but I made some mistakes and didn't have the luck needed to go all the way. I finished 5-4 after 9 rounds, which isn't too too bad. Only got 3 boosters as a prize for finishing in 53rd place.

We went to my friend Jamie's house after to hang out. Some of us wanted to go to a Chinese Buffet for dinner, but others wanted to have delivery, so we ordered a ton of Chinese food to simulate a buffet at home. The only thing I had to eat all day was a fun sized Kit-kat bar, so I made sure we ordered a ton of food! It was too much though, we couldn't finish it..

Today I'm watching football games and my fantasy team continue to go undefeated as it goes 11-0. I need to prepare for a presentation type thing that I need to do at work to explain what I learned a training a few weeks ago. My boss is just trying to scare me, so I'm not worried about it. I'll throw something together and prepare some handouts and I will make it a casual conversation as opposed to a formal presentation.

Sorry I've been neglectful and I hope you all have been doing well.

Chinese dinner date

Just got back from our date tonight. Pandorum wasn't playing anymore, so we decided to get some Chinese for dinner instead. We were planning on going to a place called "Uncle Chong's Chinese Restaurant", but apparently it doesn't exist anymore. Luckily my GPS knows of any local places to eat, so I had it find me the nearest Chinese place and we ate there. Wasn't bad food, it was actually one of the nicer Chinese restaurants I've been to. We talked in the parking lot for a little while aftwards. It was freeeezing out there though. He told me to wear more layers next time :P We finished with a hug and a kiss. He's going to be coming over again this Saturday, hopefully he'll be able to spend the night. If it doesn't come up before then, I'm definetly going to ask him if he'd be my boyfriend. My first boyfriend :]
