Only one more week of work andthe Christmas Holiday begins. Now seeing as this is my first Christmastime as a full time employee, I was a little worried about how much time I would be able to have off compared to that of an OSU student. Well fortunately my boss is super cool and I’ll be taking both the last week of this year and the first week of next year off. What will I be doing that whole time you ask? Quite the journey.
It started about a month back when my dad told me that he would be going to CES with my uncle this year. For those of you that don’t know what CES is, is its pretty much nerd heaven for grown-ups. CES stands for Consumer Electronic Show and they pretty much have all the cool gadgets gizmos and tech toys that’ll be coming out in the near future. When I found out my dad was going I must say it was the first time in my life that I was 100% jealous of something my dad was getting to do. Short story short… my uncle caught wind of my interest in going and got me an invite. So for January 5th-7th I will be in Las Vegas NV at CES 2006. w00t!
That leads us to a few weeks ago when bowl announcements came out. Ohio State going to the Fiesta bowl (6 hours from LasVegas) and USC going to the Rose Bowl (4 hours from LasVegas). My mind started processing the possibility of me going to both these HUGE bowl games as well as getting to go to Las Vegas. My dad came through and was able to get tickets for the Fiesta Bowl but unfortunately tickets to the Rose bowl are like trying to get tickets to see the second coming so that doesn’t look like it’ll happen. But still, 2 badass things out of 3 is not bad. Getting to Arizona and back is a story for another post in the near future. Stay tuned.
Still no Xbox360 >:(
