The Last Day

Today is the last day of winter break between semesters. Since my last post, I've had TONS of "nothing time" to myself. It has been great. Christmas was good and fun, I got some cool stuff. Christmas night, my dad's friends came over and brought their kids (whom I had not met). Most of them are a lot younger than I am, so when I suggested that we play Monopoly, it wasn't a hard sell. To make a long story short, I won the game after three-and-a-half hours of haggling and investing. I do love Monopoly. One of my most appreciated moments in the game was when a younger guy offered to give me Boardwalk in exchange for Waterworks. He made this offer because he had the other utility, despite the fact that I also had Park Place. It was a straight exchange, and I jumped at the chance. Thousands of dollars brought me hotels and houses, which inevitably caused everyone else to go bankrupt.

In other areas, I've seen a lot of good friends over the break and had the opportunity to appreciate their company after a long semester of preoccupuation with school.

I am going to go now. Good day.
